2016年，四川有四位朋友符海陸、張雋勇、羅富譽和陳兵製作了一款白酒，為其取名「銘記八酒六四」。他們於5月底透過互聯網銷售這枝自家製白酒，定價每兩瓶89.64元人民幣。就在他們發布了賣酒廣告兩天後，符海陸就在街頭被公案抓走。其後一個月間，為「銘記」做瓶身標貼和宣傳海報設計的羅富譽，有份出資和宣傳的張雋勇，以及一齊採購酒瓶等原材料的陳兵均先後被捕。他們的罪名，是「煽動顛覆國家」。 (more…)

各位香港朋友，你好！
三年前的今天，我們在加拿大分秒緊隨你們在香港的情況，跟很多人一樣，我們害怕天安門屠殺重現眼前！
9.28 沒有即時變成香港的 6.4, 但三年後的今天，香港民選議員被DQ，大㧗追求民主、人權、公義的青年變成政治犯，10 間大學校長聯署壓抑學生在院校內的言論自由，建制派立法會議員公開鼓吹要將佔中領袖「殺無赦」！
