反送中百萬人大遊行一周年聲明
(English version below)
致 香港市民和世界各地關心香港民主自由的同路人
一年前的今日，一百零三萬人在香港島參與民陣反送中大遊行，打破主權移交以來的記錄，亦使香港人走出雨傘運動以來的社運低潮，更再次令全球觸目香港的命途。
也許，不少市民參加去年百萬人大遊行的心態，可能是明知擋不住惡法，也要出來盡一分力、盡一次守護香港、捍衛自己基本人權的義務。林鄭政權在遊行當晚宣布送中惡法如期二讀，進一步激起民憤，也製造社會的絕望。
香港人絕處逢生，在於去年 6 月 12 日，成千上萬的年輕人奮不顧身，擋住立法會如期二讀。政權暫緩惡法，但精神的創傷、肉身的摧殘和人命的代價，依然沉重。
6 月 9 日是香港人抵抗惡法的集體回憶，但它同時是我們共負一軛的開端。過去一年，我們面對警暴、黑幫、惡法、白色恐怖，仍然負隅頑抗；無論是前線手足，抑或後勤專業，皆前仆後繼，延續反送中運動的生命力和意志。
人大港版國安法即將壓境，我們相信，香港人和全球各地支持民主自由的朋友，對香港的命運相當憂慮，甚至感到挫折。但我們過去一年的努力，已為香港創造不少奇蹟：和勇不分擋住惡法、創造黃色經濟圈打破親中資本霸權、新工會運動遍地開花、區議會選舉的勝利、以及香港在全球公民社會對抗威權的前沿地位。
二零二零年，全球因著武漢肺炎大流行，深刻體會專制政權如何破壞全球公共衛生安全；世界各地民眾反對種族主義和警察暴力的示威，也令香港人明白到抗爭之路，並不孤單。我們要信任自己、信任手足：在黑夜中堅持到底，就會見到天明。
毋忘六月，就是毋忘香港人抗爭的血淚史。民陣會繼續籌辦七一遊行，希望全港市民，守護記憶、頂住惡法，為香港和我們的未來奮鬥。
五大訴求，缺一不可！
抵抗惡法，戰鬥到底！

Civil Human Rights Front
Statement to mark the first anniversary of the Anti-extradition Mass Protest
To: Hong Kong citizens and supporters of Hong Kong’s democracy and liberty all over the world
A year ago today, 1.03 million Hongkongers joined the anti-extradition mass protest organized by the Civil Human Rights Front on the Hong Kong Island. The huge turnout broke the record of all the mass rallies held after the handover, and symbolized a powerful resurgence of social movements from the doldrums after the Umbrella Movement. Once again, the fate of our city returns to international limelight.
Perhaps many citizens did not have high hopes on stopping the evil extradition bill when they joined the protest. Yet they wished to contribute their efforts, to protect the city, and to fulfill their duties in defending their basic human rights. On the night of the mass protest, Carrie Lam’s administration announced that the extradition bill would resume second reading in the Legislative Council as scheduled. This further fuelled the anger of the people, and destroyed any hope that remained.
Quite unexpectedly, thousands of youngsters valiantly blocked the resumption of the second reading on 12 June last year. The government finally yielded and suspended the bill. However, the psychological and physical injuries sustained by protesters have been and still are very heavy.
The mass protest on 9 June last year has been etched in the collective memory of Hongkongers. It also marks the beginning of our togetherness in defending our beloved city. In the past year, we have been steadfastly resisting police brutality, triads, evil laws and white terror. Both the front-liners and those providing logistics support are sparing no efforts in maintaining the vitality and willpower of the anti-extradition movement.
The National People’s Congress is imposing a Hong Kong version of the National Security Law on Hong Kong. Hongkongers and supporters of Hong Kong’s democracy and liberty around the world are deeply worried and frustrated about such a law. Yet, we have seen miracle after miracle coming out of our tireless efforts in the past year, including the concerted efforts of the valiant and the peaceful-rational in resisting the evil law, the creation of the Yellow Economic Circle to break the hegemony of PRC capital, the blooming of new labour unions, the landslide victories in District Council elections, and Hong Kong’s frontline role in the global fight of civil societies against autocracy.
The pandemic in 2020 reminds us how a totalitarian regime endangers global public health. The protests against racism and police brutality in different parts of the world tell us that we Hongkongers are not alone. Trust ourselves. Trust our fellow protesters (our “hands and feet”). Persevere in the dark, and we will see light!
Remember June is to remember the history of Hong Kong’s protests, a history of blood and tears. As in past years, Civil Human Rights Front will lodge an application for the July 1 mass rally. We call upon all Hongkongers to preserve our memory, to resist evil law, and to fight hard for Hong Kong and our future.
Five demands, Not one less
Resist evil law, Fight till the end
Civil Human Rights Front
