2019年7月21日,香港警方包庇元朗黑幫分子對市民無差別攻擊,是整場反修例運動的爆發點,更是香港法治淪喪的一個標記。尤其在香港電台於揭露真相之後被整肅;受襲的人原告變被告;警方選擇性執法;法庭判施暴者無罪等,都令香港曾經引以為傲的法治如同被坦克車輾壓過一樣,變得體無完膚!際此兩周年,讓我們一起告訴港共政權,真相不容篡改,不會遺忘。
On July 21, 2019, the Hong Kong police sheltered the gangsters in Yuen Long who attacked the citizens indiscriminately in a railway station. This incident was the flashpoint of the anti-extradition movement and of the decline of the rule of law in Hong Kong. Since then, RTHK was purged after broadcasted a documentary attempting to decipher the truth behind the incident; victims were laid charges for participating in physical altercation that night; the police selectively enforced the law in countless occasions; the court found the perpetrator not guilty. All such are obvious sign the rule of law that once upheld by all walks of life has been crashed into pieces as if run over by a tank. On this second anniversary, let us get together to tell the Hong Kong Communist regime that the truth cannot be tampered with and will not be forgotten.
香港蘋果日報創辦人黎智英去年被捕還柙,今年6月行政高層、編輯及社論執筆皆同樣以國安法分别被拘捕及不準保釋,報刊資產被凍結,令報館被逼停業。在打壓新聞自由及工資無法收到的威脅下,一眾蘋果記者員工仍毫不畏懼,繼續堅持出版報紙直到最後一刻,勇氣及專業精神實在令人敬佩。本會已購備數百份昔日蘋果於當日集會現場派發,好讓大家有一個留念,亦向蘋果員工尤其向被困獄中的各人表示致敬。
Jimmy Lai, the founder of Hong Kong Apple Daily, was arrested and remanded in custody last year. In June this year, executives, editors, and writers were separately arrested, also under the National Security Law, and denied bail. With company assets frozen, the newspaper was forced with no choice but to shut down. Under the risk of blatant attack on freedom of the press and salary not being paid, reporters and staff at Apple Daily stood against all odds to keep the printing press running to the last minute. Their courage and professionalism deserve our highest respect. TADC has acquired few hundred copies of Apple Daily for distribution at the rally. The newspaper is a souvenir for you to keep and a tribute to every staff member at Apple Daily, especially those who are suffering in prison.
