To whom it may concern,
We are a group of concerned ordinary Hong Kong citizens in direct opposition of the Extradition Bill proposed by the Hong Kong SAR Government, which, once passed, could result in unjust surrenders of Hong Kong citizens to the People’s Republic of China. Out of extreme frustration and hopelessness, we are writing with utmost concern for such a breach of human rights by the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF).
In the protests over the last few days, as you might be aware, the HKPF has created ugly scenes by adopting excessive force against the vast majority of peaceful protesters, examples include the misuse and overuse of tear gas, bean bags and rubber bullets. A long list of evidences prove that they are not using force when strictly necessary, which is impossible to be justified. The Hong Kong Police Force and the Hong Kong Government, regrettably, denied the misuse of violence and shifted the blame onto the protesters.
We have prepared the attached open letter, and would like to ask for your assistance in sending it to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees at urgent-action@ohchr.org, requesting their urgent action to call an investigation into HKPF’s conduct, and denounce HKPF’s conduct. We also welcome you to issue a statement to express your concerns on HKPF’s breach of human rights.
Yours faithfully,
A group of ordinary Hong Kong citizens
