香港612兩周年 Second Anniversary of Hong Kong 6.12

「612港人覺醒兩周年車隊遊行暨集會」於2021年6月12日在多倫多市中心舉行,與會者包括來自香港、西藏、緬甸和越裔人士。紀念活動是響應世界各地聯合發起「6.12全球聲援香港」,由加拿大新香港文化協會(New Hong Kong Cultural Club Canada)主辦,並有香港台(HongKonger Station)、灝玥社(Soteria Institute) 及本會協辦。集會在羅渣士中心對面的Roundhouse Park舉行,現場設有一個抗爭迷你展覽。出席者包括老中青人士,也有攜帶年幼子女的年輕家庭。其後參加者組成車隊在市中心遊行,途經士巴丹拿大道﹑布爾街﹑直達中國駐多倫多總領事館,然後經過皇后公園徑和皇后街,再回到Roundhouse Park。

本會主席吳溫溫表示,2019年612事件是香港人爭取民主運動的轉捩點,是由「反送中運動」至香港人覺醒的里程碑。特區政府漠視百萬人遊行抗議,堅持進行硬推逃犯條例二讀程序,數以萬計港人在立法會門前示威阻止法案通過,警方使用橡膠彈和催淚彈,鎮壓手無寸鐵的示威者。她指出,事件看見香港年輕人的勇敢和決心,無私的精神和無限的創意,守衛香港這片土地。這份覺醒喚起港人起來反對惡法,同時凸顯特權政府變本加厲實施暴政,以及香港警察的暴力。今次紀念所要傳遞的信息,是在任何地方都要彰顯公義,並且有責任延續這個普世價值,堅守民主精神,為了尊嚴和自由,深願香港人繼續加油。

June 12, 2019 was a watershed moment of the Hong Kong pro-democracy protest movement. With the excessive police violence and indiscriminate arrests of over 400 protesters, it was the awakening of Hong Kongers. As part of the global action marking the 2nd anniversary of Hong Kong 6.12, a car caravan rally was held in downtown Toronto on that day. The spirited rally was well attended by people of all ages and representatives from our human rights allied groups from Tibet, Myanmar and Vietnam. This Hong Kong 612 event was spearheaded by the New Hong Kong Cultural Club and co-organized by Hongkonger Station, Soteria Institute and TADC. The over 200-car caravan went up along Spadina, stopping at the Chinese Consulate to demonstrate our demands, then going through downtown before returning to the Roundhouse Park.
