This is a message from one of our comrades in Queensland, Australia. She has been facing surveillance from the #ChinaCommunistParty agents, and in spite of all that, she vows to continue her fight for Hong Kongers.
#ChinaCommunistParty or the #CCP is one of the bloodiest terrorist organisations in the world. One must not surrender to it, as only our courage becomes it’s weakness. Fight for Freedom! Stand With Hong Kong! Never Give Up! 💪🇭🇰

This is a Message from the HKPACE Queensland:

HKPACE Queensland的Director Bonnie Wong, 很榮幸能以支持民主的香港留學生的身分與人權觀察(Human Rights Watch)的團隊合作,在他們發表「他們不懂我們的恐懼」的報告時參加他們的新聞發布會。

報告中列出了一系列對澳洲政府和各大學的建議。

人們越來越擔心外國政府對敏感政治話題的騷擾。在這樣的前提下,且作為對這份報告的回應,澳洲各大學可能會允許學生以假名和印本方式提交書面作業。

《衛報》獲悉,大學領導正在考慮一系列保護學術自由的措施,包括禁止學生錄製某些課程和與外部團體分享,將其定為違規行為。

雖然人權觀察在102頁的報告中提出了令人信服的證據,《環球時報》仍然歪曲事實,聲稱「人權觀察根本不關心澳洲的言論自由和學術自由。他們之前亦曾編造謊言,將極少數支持香港分裂主義的人描繪成受害者。這個組織的真正目的是將澳洲各大學變成倡導『香港分裂』的人的避風港。」

我們認為人權觀察的工作有效地揭露了中共拼命且肆無忌憚地否認的被壓制的事實。

就如Bonnie所說的一樣,「無論威脅有多大,我也不認為我們該停下來,我更不認為我會停下來」。請收看本週三的廣播節目“Full Story”,Bonnie將在那裡詳細解釋她的經歷,並跟進《衛報》的新聞報導。

Our Director Bonnie Wong is honoured to work with the Human Rights Watch team, joining their press conference as a pro-democracy international student from Hong Kong, on the launch of their recent report “They Don’t Understand the Fear We Have”.

A list of recommendations of actions is written in the report
for Australian Government and Universities to take.

In response to the report, Australian universities may now allow students to submit written assignments under pseudonyms and in hard copy amid growing concerns about foreign government-linked harassment over politically sensitive topics.

The Guardian has learned university leaders are considering a range of options to protect academic freedoms, including making it a disciplinary offence if students record some classes or share them with outside groups.

Typically, despite the convincing evidence provided in the 102-page report, the Global Times distortedly pointed out the “truth” by claiming that “The human rights group doesn't care about Australia's freedom of speech and academic freedom at all. It has played dirty tricks of fabricating lies to portray a slim number of supporters of Hong Kong secessionists as victims. Its real aim is to turn Australian universities into a haven for "Hong Kong secession" advocates.”

We believe that the Human Rights Watch’s work has effectively exposed the suppressed fact, which the Chinese Communist Party is desperately and recklessly trying to deny.

As the quote from our Director Bonnie goes, “No matter how huge the threat is, I don’t think we should stop, and I don’t think I’ll stop”, please staye tuned for the radio program “Full Story” on this Wednesday, where Bonnie will explain more about her experience, following up on the Guardian’s news report.

I'm afraid of losing
Yet I put on a brave face
Moving forward could be frightening
But moving backward is more frustrating

This persistence is not limited to San Marino

It exists within you and me

The Observer view on China’s human rights abuses in Hong Kong

China did not wait long to demonstrate its contempt for last weekend’s criticism by G7 countries of human rights abuses in Hong Kong. By ordering the arrest of the editor-in-chief and four senior executives of the Apple Daily newspaper for allegedly conspiring with “foreign forces”, Xi Jinping and the Communist party sent a crude message of defiance to the west.

That China’s president and his Beijing apparatchiks were responsible for this provocatively timed injustice is not in serious doubt. Hong Kong’s 2019-20 pro-democracy protests, which Apple Daily supported, shook the CCP’s power monopoly and amour propre in ways not seen since Tiananmen Square. It has been punishing the ex-British colony ever since.

The #HK47 democrats are gonna jailed again for months before verdict. This is a grave injustice, instead of presumption of innocence, this is presumption of guilt.
European Parliament adopts a resolution condemning the forced closure of @AppleDailyHK, calling for sanction on HK officials and diplomatic boycott of Beijing Winter Olympics.
