This is not a post recounting the details of the #UmbrellaRevolution so much as what it stood for and how it informed the #fightforfreedom in #HongKong. For years, #HKers had been struggling to defend our rights and values from the #CCP. The #UmbrellaMovement in 2014 was for many an awakening to the root cause of the social problems in #HK - the lack of a popularly mandated government as ours was (and is) but a #Beijing puppet.
-
The experience of 2014 produced the now much more mainstream indigenous ideology and inspired new protest tactics in 2019. Hong Kong has never stopped evolving to cope with challenges and does not intend to stop now. "Be water", the city-wide pro-democracy movement in 2019 taught us, even though it may be dark and the suffering ahead seem endless, don't lose heart. We will remember who we are, what we stand for, persevere and outlive the tyrant.

【初選47人案|外媒關注案件開審 香港監察促國際社會注視不公審訊 在台港人發表聯署聲援被告】
香港47名民主派人士因參與2020年初選,被當局以港區國安法起訴,案件於周一(6日)正式開審,外媒密切注視案件發展。美國有線新聞網絡(CNN)提到這是香港最大的國安審訊,牽涉政客、學者、工會成員及醫護,他們來自不同世代,但同樣因為對香港未來民主的承諾而走在一起。英國人權組織香港監察(Hong Kong Watch)發聲明呼籲國際社會注視這場不公平的審訊,創辦人羅傑斯(Benedict Rogers)形容這場審訊是香港由開放社會變成警察社會的象徵,也代表着香港自由、自治、人權和法治的瓦解。
流亡海外的香港前立法會議員許智峯指出,被關押的47人是香港最出色的代表,是香港的面孔,他呼籲自由國家領袖發表有史以來最強烈的聲明,以支持並呼籲釋放他們,「這不僅關乎他們個人的自由,而是所有港人、乃至全世界的自由」。許智峯也在社交網站發文,形容自己是47人初選案的第48人,「若沒有離開香港,還押兩年、明天需要上庭受審的,也包括我」。
香港大學榮休教授卜約翰(John Burns)指出,今次對民主派的審判是北京徹底消滅香港有組織反對派的「意志考驗」,逮捕及指控民主派是為了恐嚇及消除反對派,要是把他們趕出香港流亡,或把他們關在監獄,「這是除去他們的過程,通過關掉政黨、工會,他們關掉有組織反對派的基礎」。
末代港督彭定康表示,北京通過其在香港的自願合作者,逐步清洗香港民主及法治的領袖或支持者,「我希望世界在未來數周及數月考慮如何對待中共時,要持續關注正在發生的事情,並且銘記於心」。
