The basic right of every Hong Kong citizen to rally and demonstrate is under threat. Furthermore, the police used open violence to suppress a demonstration and caused permanent injury to the left eye of one of the arrested. The colonial regime has also attacked freedom of the press and effectively threatened citizens participating in future demonstrations. It is also clear that political considerations have interfered with "judicial impartiality", with the democratic rights of Hong Kong citizens and the solidarity movement in support of the Chinese democracy movement, sacrificed for the political interests of both the Hong Kong colonial regime and the Chinese regime.
An urgent appeal has been launched internationally to rally support for human rights in Hong Kong and for the solidarity movement in support of the Chinese democracy movement. The following appeal letter can be sent to the Hong Kong governor, with a copy to October Review, GPO Box 10144, Hong Kong:
