【2024難民週：受庇護權乃人權】

《難民地位公約》非謹一紙條文，更蘊涵對人性、尊嚴與自由的尊重，乃所有人應當捍衛及享有之人權。
正如香港近年丕變，每一個人均可能因可見或不可預見原由而遭受迫害，成為難民。
若要受庇護權此基本人權得以實踐，必如《公約》明確保障所示：「締約國不得就非常規入境向毫不遲疑抵達之尋求庇護聲請者予以懲罰及視之為非法入境。」

Edinburgh Screening of She’s In Jail Afterword and brief financial report

The screening was held successfully on 22 June, and many in the audience admired the bravery of the interviewees in the film.

The ripples of the screening spread the action far and wide. Apart from drawing attention to democracy and human rights, it also strengthens cross-border connections, giving Hongkongers from all over the world the opportunity to support and learn from each other. This has been a great help in forming an international solidarity network and promoting human rights advocacy for Hong Kong.

After the screening, the audience displayed portraits of political prisoners and dissidents in Hong Kong to show their support for the democracy fighters. In the face of the global trend, it is important to hold fast to political beliefs, take sustained action, work hard at the individual level, and then continue the social movement’s progress through collective strength.

The brief financial report is free to read at Patreon!

【突發！部份居蘇格蘭BN(O)s被限制大選投票權！】

我們陸續收到居住在蘇格蘭的港人反映，早前以「Hong Kong, British National Overseas Citizen」身份成功登記為選民，但今日到投票站時卻被告知其選民登記被錯誤分類到category M（只限地方選舉投票），懷疑市政府錯誤把BN(O)國籍與不符合合資格的中國籍混淆。

假如您不幸遇到這種情況，請立即電郵或致電當地的選舉登記辦事處，要求他們盡快處理。有關聯絡方式可在選民登記確認信中找到。

我們正在統計受影響的人數，若您居住在蘇格蘭並遇到同樣情況，請立即與我們聯絡！The Hong Kong Scots會向有關方面反映，包括在明天的例行會議上與COSLA（蘇格蘭政府部門聯席）表達並要求關注事件。
