Subject:
Immediately release Chow Hang-tung and drop all charges
Dear Secretary Cheng, I am writing to express my grave concern for Chow Hang-tung (鄒幸彤), one of the organisers of the annual Tiananmen vigil who has been arrested and charged for “inciting subversion”. It is alarming to learn that she and other core members of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China (the Alliance) were targeted simply for commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown. This act is a mere peaceful expression of opinion, which is permissible under international human rights law and standards, and must not be criminalised. I call on you to: Drop all charges against and release Chow Hang-tung immediately, as she was charged solely for peacefully exercising her rights; End the practice of bringing ‘national security' charges against those who have simply exercised their right to freedom of expression or other human rights; Review and amend all laws and regulations, and end all related measures, that violate the exercise of human rights, in particular to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly, and association.
