Italian Activists Launch Global Action to #Save12HKYouths

Patrizia De Grazia of Radicali Italiani (Italian Radicals) has initiated a 12-day protest since Oct 12, 2020, demanding Chinese authorities to return 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers, who have been detained in China for over 50 days.

De Grazia is sending a video message to people around the world. While she is undergoing a hunger strike for at least 12 days, she hopes the international community could also speak up for Hong Kong.

In the coming days, De Grazia and the members of Radicali Italiani are travelling to different parts of Italy to raise concern over the humanitarian crisis in Hong Kong.

The marathon campaign includes protesting outside the Chinese embassy and consulate, singing the protest anthem "Glory to Hong Kong" in Cantonese and Italian, speaking at the parliament and spreading news about Hong Kong situation to the international community.

Concern Group Calls for Local and International Attention to Save 12 Pro-democracy Hongkongers Arrested by China

Concern group convener Owen Chow Ka-shing, former Secretary General of Demosisto Joshua Wong Chi-fung and former legislator Eddie Chu Hoi-dik and district councillor Lester Shum called for an online assembly on Sunday, October 25, to show support to the 12 Hongkongers detained in China and their families.  

Owen Chow expressed that only international attention could bring hope to this case. He revealed that 30 cities will voice support in various formats around the globe, such as assembly or rally from October 23 to October 25.

With reference to Granny Wong’s experience of detainment in China,  Eddie Chu expressed that with more attention from Hong Kong and around the world, the treatment of those detained in China will be significantly improved. He asked Hongkongers to continue paying attention to the case in order to put pressure on Chinese authorities.

Joshua Wong sponsored printing 50,000 copies of “Never Forget 12 Fellow Protesters” on transparency sheets in a bid to encourage Hongkongers’ continued support. Each sheet carried a name of one of the detainees, a small boat and a short message that read, “Bring Them Back”.  

The design of the transparencies was inspired by Zhen Jianghua, a human right activist in China who was also arrested and detained. 

Lester Shum said that 23 October marks the 60th day since the 12 youths' official arrest and detainment in China.  Shum asked for Hongkongers' attention on this case, which he believed would provide support to the detainees and their families, so that they would know that they were not left alone.
