WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER

Dear New York Times Readers,

We are a group of concerned citizens who have been among the two million protesters marching on the streets of Hong Kong. This is our sincere quest for your help to defend our autonomy and freedoms. Here is why you should care.

China has been relentlessly extending their flawed authoritarian rule into Hong Kong since 1997. A recent example is the HKSAR Government’s proposed bill that would allow extradition of alleged “fugitives” from Hong Kong to China, a country that is notorious for its disrespect for the rule of law, and whose judicial system has a conviction rate of 99.9%.

Businessmen, journalists, tourists of all nations, and even ordinary Hong Kongers could be arrested and sent to China for trials of alleged crimes and fabricated accusations. This will have a devastating impact on Hong Kong where global businesses reside, on the freedom of speech and religion, and on human rights – universal rights that each and every single one of us should enjoy.

This is why two million of us took to the streets defiantly, even after unjustifiable violent suppression from the police on peaceful and unarmed protestors who are then stigmatized by the government as “rioters”. Police acted brutally using baton and 150 tear gas canisters, and aiming rubber bullets and bean bag rounds at our heads. But we are determined to defend human rights and our autonomy.

Withdrawal of the Extradition Bill should only be the beginning. We request the unconditional release of all the arrested, retract the “riot” designation of June 12 incident, and conduct an independent commission of inquiry to look into police brutality. But most importantly, we demand universal suffrage which allows Hong Kongers to choose our own leaders and make them accountable for their actions. Please join Hong Kong in defending liberty and human rights against authoritarianism.

In view of the upcoming G20 summit and the meeting between Trump and Xi, we implore you to deliver our concerns and demands to your governments. We urge you to stand with us in preserving Hong Kong’s freedom and autonomy against China’s oppression.

Thank you.

Yours truly,
Hong Kongers
