2007/7/1 why be afraid of your own people香港回归10周年,每次我们在电视看到的都是欢庆回归的喜气画面。 Thousands take part in HK democracy march
Thousands of people took part in a protest march in central Hong Kong on Sunday to call for universal suffrage as the territory marked the first 10 years of Chinese rule. Hong Kong’s former deputy leader Anson Chan and Cardinal Joseph Zen, the head of the Catholic church in the territory, were among the high-profile figures joining the demonstration. Organisers said they were disappointed China’s President Hu Jintao had left Hong Kong before the start of the rally.
“We were disappointed that Hu didn’t stay and hear what the Hong Kong people are asking for. He didn’t want to open his heart and ears and listen to people’s aspirations for democracy,” said Jackie Hung of protest organisers the Civil Human Rights front. “As the Chinese leader he should listen to different opinions.” Demonstrator Dick Cheung, 56, said he believed he had a responsibility to come out and fight for democracy. “We have the right to democracy. If we have no right to choose our leaders we will not have any control over them if they make mistakes,” said Cheung, owner of a textile company. ... Pro-democracy protestors kept away from flag ceremony A procession of 15 protestors seeking vindication for student activists, dissidents, and journalists was prevented from getting close to the flag-raising ceremony in front of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) by hundreds of policemen this morning. The procession was lawmaker Leung Kwok-hung’s last attempt to protest in front of President Hu Jintao , but his march ended at the Gloucester Road side of Central Plaza. Policemen said because they were “conducting a security operation” in the flag-raising area, the protestors could not go any further. Mr Leung called the president’s visit “shameful” since hundreds of policemen had been employed to ensure that Mr Hu would not see or hear dissenting views. “Why be afraid of your own people?” he asked the president rhetorically. Mr Leung said he merely wished to express to the president the wishes of the Hong Kong people, which he described as their desire for the implementation of universal suffrage in Hong Kong, the vindication of the 1989 student democracy movement, and the freeing of all dissidents and journalists such as Ching Cheong. |
