2 Pastors Left Hong Kong after the Gospel Declaration was Reprimanded by China-funded Media for “Intention to Instigate Secession”
Hong Kong Pastors Network, composing of a group of pastors and preachers, published the "Hong Kong 2020 Gospel Declaration" and stated,
“In the face of a totalitarian regime that distorts facts, controls the media, and buries the Truth, the Church courageously rejects all falsehood, and points out what the regime has done wrong”.
The declaration was criticized by Chinese Communist Party- funded newspapers Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po as "infiltrating and brainwashing groups of followers to intentionally incite secession after the implementation of Hong Kong National Security Law".
Reverend Chan Yan-Ming, one of the initiators, confirmed that two members of the network, Reverend Wong Siu-yung and Reverend William Yeung, had left Hong Kong after being reprimanded by the two Beijing-controlled newspapers for violating the national security law.
Christian Times published on Aug 14 that after the forceful imposition of the Hong Kong National Security Law on June 30, the Hong Kong Pastors Network had been disbanded. Reverend Wong and Yeung, the two primary initiators of Hong Kong 2020 Gospel Declaration, have fled Hong Kong due to family concerns and pressure after being criticised.
