< Not Guilty— Stand with Hong Kong 47>
In 2020, the pro-democracy camp held a primary to select numbers of candidates for the September Legislative Council election to maximise the chance for the pro-democrats to achieve the "35+" majority in the Legislative Council. 47 pro-democracy advocates were charged with "conspiring to subvert state power" under the Hong Kong National Security Law (NSL). This is the largest national security case in Hong Kong after the implementation of NSL. Cases under the NSL are heard by specific judges handpicked by the chief executive and do not have a jury. The 47 are facing a maximum of life sentences. The fairness of the trial raises international awareness. The majority of the "Hong Kong 47" were held in custody without bail for over 700 days before their trial began. Only a few were granted bail, but with harsh conditions such as limited freedom of speech.

It is controversial for a few of the "Hong Kong 47" chose to become prosecution witnesses and testify against their co-defendants. Some may accuse them as traitors. We have no clue about their difficulties and worries, but we should realise that the "Hong Kong 47" case is injustice after all. It is absolutely lawful for the pan-democrats to hold a primary to allow their voters to choose their representatives. Through primary, the candidates' credibility and representativeness increase, allowing the people's voices to be heard in the Legislative Council. Primaries are commonly seen in democratic nations in the world, and it should never be a crime to hold a primary. The CCP knew that the pro-Beijing candidates were less popular than the pan-democrats. Hence, they choose to silence the people's voice by modifying the election mechanism and using NSL to suppress all opposition. Our voice is not being heard anymore, our voice is buried deep underground; We lost our freedom, our rule of law, our land we called home. All our loss is not the fault of the "Hong Kong 47", not the fault of whoever chose to betray. The root of the evil is the CCP and its puppet Hong Kong Communist Government.

The "Hong Kong 47" are in urgent need of our support. Our fellow Hongkongers are suppressed and cannot speak up in Hong Kong. Therefore, living in the land of freedom, we should stand out and speak for them. We need to stand up for their rights and show the world the unfairness of the Hong Kong government and the CCP. So we urge your support in this joint campaign with participating cities to stand for the politically persecuted "Hong Kong 47" and all other Hongkongers in jail or on trial.

一人一信:向你所屬選區的國會議員表達你對47人案的關注

大量港人經BN(O) Visa在過去兩年遷移英國。BN(O)身份港人作為英聯邦公民,可在國會及地方選舉投票,有權向所屬選區的國會議員表達意見。為了推動英國政府加快行動,我們邀請大家發電郵予當地國會議員表達您對香港47人案的關注,向共匪政權實施馬格尼茨制裁。

現附上✉️電郵範本 及📌列出要點,望閣下能以自己的文字完成全文。您可以按個人所想作出增刪,表達您的意見和訴求。

電郵範本: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LG3I5VPx7Bv9UugYQZCjl1YZRO8nRQp5vaMzYMuZ_0A/edit
(範本內有連結可尋找代表你的MP)

國會議員日理萬機,他們未必能即時回覆您的信件。初次回覆或需時兩至三星期。待您與該議員熟絡後,可嘗試親身約見他們,作更深入交流。但願日子有功,我哋能透過親身參與政治,對政府政策有更大影響力。
【WRITE TO YOUR MP】 📢 Ask the UK Gov’t to act! The trial of the Hong Kong 47

In the past two years, a record number of Hong Kongers left Hong Kong for the UK. BN(O) Hong Kongers, as Commonwealth Citizens, are eligible for voting in parliamentary and local elections. As such, they also have a right to be represented by their respective MPs. We urge Hong Kongers to write to their MPs in order to express our concerns for deteriorating freedoms in Hong Kong, and press the UK Government for sanctions that make perpetrators accountable for their abuse.

We provide a ✉️template email with 📌key points for you to write to your MP, asking them to escalate your concerns to the relevant ministers or government agencies.

Template: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LG3I5VPx7Bv9UugYQZCjl1YZRO8nRQp5vaMzYMuZ_0A/edit

It may take a couple of weeks for Members of Parliament to reply to you. Remember, it takes time and effort to develop a productive and lasting relationship with your local representatives.
默站聲援:
需要47名手足默站。默站時其他手足們會舉起有關案件之文宣,以讓本地人了解及關注。 人數,時間,實際內容由各地區組織自行決定,將會舉辦默站的城市有:
1. 伯明瀚 Birmingham: 15/4/2023 (Sat)
2. 碧仙桃 Bristol: 15/4/2023 (Sat) 14:00-16:00
3. 愛丁堡 Edinburgh: 15/4/2023 (Sat) 15:00
4. 列斯 Leeds: 15/4/2023 (Sat) 12:00-15:00
5. 倫敦 London: 待定
6. 諾定咸 Nottingham: 15/4/2023 (Sat) 13:30
7. 雷丁 Reading: 待定
8. 雪埠 Sheffield: 16/4/2023 (Sun) 13:00-15:00
9. 薩頓 Sutton: 15/4/2023 (Sat)

文宣內容會包括以下三項主題:
1. 侵犯人權
47人未被定罪,便先作囚徒,未審先囚兩年,未能保釋候審。少數獲保釋人士則須接受苛刻條件,包括言論自由受限,嚴重侵犯人權。

2. 破壞司法獨立,影響法律公義
最高可判終身監禁的案件不設陪審團,由3名國安法指定法官組成審判庭處理,無視英國將香港交予中共時承諾保留的《普通法》制度,以《國安法》破壞香港持之以恒的法律。《國安法》條文模糊不清,強行把中國的刑法套用在香港普通法制度,目前條文所指「勾結外國勢力」和「恐怖活動」的定義並不清楚,如何解讀這些罪行的權力均在於全國人大常委會而非香港法院。《國安法》推出不足三年就已經要由人大釋法, 可見龍門任佢搬。

3. 違反《中英聯合聲明》及《基本法》
《中英聯合聲明》確保香港50年不變及高度自治,但中共再三強行立法,破壞香港原來的司法制度,剝奪港人的自由,明顯違反《中英聯合聲明》。《基本法》第廿六條保障港人有選舉權及參選權,而《基本法》第廿八條保障港人不會被非法及不合理扣留,47人參與初選後未審先囚,明顯違反《基本法》。
Silent in show of solidarity – "47 detained without trial"
We are looking for 47 volunteers to stand in silence. Volunteers will also display posters regarding the case. We hope this will raise awareness of this case among the public. The local groups can decide on the number of participants, time and content. Cities that will be hosting silent in show of solidarity are:
1. Birmingham: 15/4/2023 (Sat)
2. Bristol: 15/4/2023 (Sat) 14:00 - 16:00
3. Edinburgh: 15/4/2023 (Sat) 15:00
4. Leeds: 15/4/2023 (Sat) 12:00 - 15:00
5. London: T.B.C
6. Nottingham: 15/4/2023 (Sat) 13:30
7. Reading: T.B.C
8. Sheffield: 16/4/2023 (Sun) 13:00 - 15:00
9. Sutton: 15/4/2023 (Sat)

Posters should focus on the following three topics.
A) Violation of Human Rights
Most of those arrested were denied bail and have been in custody for over 700 days. They had lost their freedom for almost two years before the trial even started. Only a few of them have been granted bail, but with harsh conditions such as limited freedom of speech. This is undoubtedly a violation of fundamental human rights.

B) Damaging Judicial independence and affecting justice.
Defendants may be subjected to life sentences while the trial is overseen by three handpicked judges and does not have a jury, which is the practice of NSL cases. This violates the usual "Common Law" practice in Hong Kong which is promised by the CCP when British handover Hong Kong. In addition, the terms used in NSL are vague and left uninterpreted, creating a climate of fear and stifling free speech. For example, the definitions of terms such as "collusion with foreign or external forces" and "Terrorism" are unclear. Beijing has the power to interpret the law, but not any Hong Kong judicial or policy body. Recently, the Chief Executive invited Beijing to interpret NSL and Beijing overruled Hong Kong courts to allow authorities to bar British barristers from security law trials. This shows that NSL destroys the entire integrity of Hong Kong's legal system to allow rule by decree.

C) Breach of Sino-British Joint Declaration and Basic Law
The Sino-British Joint Declaration has assured that the way of living of Hongkongers will remain unchanged for 50 years and will have a high degree of autonomy. Nevertheless, the NSL drafted by the CCP intruded into Hong Kong, destroyed the original judicial system of Hong Kong and deprived freedom of Hongkongers. This has apparently gone against the Sino-British Joint Declaration.
Article 26 of the Basic Law safeguards the right to vote and stand for elections of Hong Kong residents. Furthermore, Article 28 of the Basic Law protects Hong Kong residents from arbitrary or unlawful arrest, detention or imprisonment. The "Hong Kong 47" were arrested because of standing for election and jailed before trial, this practice has apparently violated the Basic Law.

隨著47人案開審,世界各地已有或將有不同集會、聯署及其他行動聲援47人案;而寫信是最直接能讓大家表達對他們的關心和支持的方法。而且牆內接收資訊十分有限,透過寫信我們可以提供更多資訊、新聞、甚至娛樂。

我們希望大家抽一點時間寫信給47人案中正還押的人,更想趁機令更多人成為「寫信師」。事實上,截至2022年2月,已有二千八百多人因反送中示威被檢控、還押或在囚,數字還未計因國安法而還押或判刑的手足。他們同樣需要大家的支持和關心,我們沒有忘記他們。

如你未有寫信經驗,請參考我們提供的「懶人包」,有基本寫信規限、內容建議、以及47人案已知的收信地址。4月我們會於英國幾個城市舉辦街站聲援47人案,屆時將設有收信站幫大家轉寄回香港。如想寫信給47人案以外的手足,也可以聯絡以下機構:

We sincerely hope more of you can take a brief moment to write to the 47 case related politicians as well as other political prisoners. Until February 2022, there are over 2,800 Hongkongers prosecuted, detained, or convicted of charges relating to the 2019-2020 protests. This number does not include charges and conviction on the ‘National Security Law’. They also need your caring and support, we have not forgotten them.

If you do not have the experience of letter writing yet, please refer to the ‘Easy guides’ that we provide below. It includes brief regulations on format, recommendations on content, and known correspondence addresses for the Hong Kong 47 case.

In April, there will be pop up stands supporting the 47s across the UK. There will be letter collection points set up with the stands, and we will redirect your letters back to Hong Kong.
