Liberate Hong Kong - The Hundredth Day Declaration
Our Resolute Fight for Universal Suffrage and Battle against State Violence
- What began as the anti-extradition law movement has lasted over 100 days at this point, and it is unclear how events will unfold. We believe it is necessary to once again emphasize to the general public the necessity of ‘Containing Violence through Force’, and to reiterate our call for ‘Genuine Universal Suffrage’.
- As all lawful, peaceful means of protest have proven futile, civil disobedience with stronger force and resistance to counter the actions of the tyrannical government and their aggressive allies have become inevitable.
- We have no choice but to "contain violence by the use of force" with two basic objectives. First, as a reasonable act of self-defense to protect ourselves, our companions and other civilians, from random acts of abuse. Second, for the sake of ensuring the safety of all, to deter potential perpetrators from harming members of the public.
- The current withdrawal of the Bill will not mend the rift caused by the corrupted system. We refuse a patchwork remedy: “Five Demands, Not One Less”! The implementation of genuine universal suffrage, is of utmost importance.

"The Outcry of 130 Thousand: Immediate Reforms for the Hong Kong Police Force"
- The 14th Citizens’ Press Conference called a press conference entitled “The Outcry of the 130 Thousand: Immediate Reform of the Hong Kong Police Force”. The CPC has conducted three surveys on 18th and 31st of August and the 8th of September. The first two of these three surveys received over thirty seven thousand and twenty seven thousand responses respectively, and the most recent poll on the 8th of September incident, received almost one hundred and thirty eight thousand responses within just 24 hours.
- Survey results indicated that protesters’ core value has not changed. Despite Carrie Lam’s formal withdrawal of the extradition bill on 4th September, Hongkongers persist in their appeal for the HK government to meet the other 4 core demands before the unrest will halt. The stature of the HKPF amongst Hongkongers is at its nadir. In order to rebuild the trust between the people and the police, HKFP will have to be completely dissolved and rebuilt.
- The surveys also demonstrate that more and more Hong Kongers are no longer content to stay silent. The increased demands reflect a rise in the resolve of the protesters. The longer the movement persists, the more determined the people have become.

The Hong Kong Protestors’ Letter to the Free World
- CCP’s exploitation of the very idea of “China” to hoodwink Chinese all over the world into supporting its designs is unprecedented.
- As the last bastion of freedom in China, Hong Kong has refused to submit to this corrupt totalitarian regime. Hong Kong is the firewall between China and the free world. If this “new West Berlin” falls, China will be able to descend upon the gate of the free world, a portal it has waited seventy years to breach.
- Hong Kong believes in freedom and democracy, in universal values which traverse all races, and in essential human decency. We call for the world to join us in this battle.
