【緊急聲明｜深圳佳士工潮】
再有五十名工人、學生被捕
立即停止對佳士工人打壓
深圳佳士科技公司工人因自發成立工會所引發的工人抗爭擾攘超過一個月，至今仍未有解決跡象。今日清晨，內地公安部門派出多名防暴警察衝入佳士工人聲援團位於惠州的住處，強行拘捕超過五十名工人和學生。令至今已被拘捕的工人和學生，超過七十人。
日前，職工盟發起全球行動，呼籲世界各地總工會和勞工團體去信國務院總理李克強和中華全國總工會主席王東明，要求立即釋放因自發組織工會而被捕的佳士工人及其支持者，並撤銷對他們的所有刑事檢控。同時，亦要求中國政府及全總履行和落實國際勞工組織對工人結社自由權利的原則，保障和協助佳士工人自發組織成立工會。呼籲至今已得到包括來自英國總工會（TUC）、法國總工會（CGT）、加拿大總工會（CLC）與瑞典總工會（Swedish-LO）等來自十多國的勞工團體和國際工會組織的支持。可惜，中國政府卻選擇無視來自國際社會的聲音，繼續違背國際勞工標準，肆意剝奪工人組織工會的權利和鐵腕鎮壓工人自發的維權行動。職工盟對此表示極度憤慨和遺憾。
因此，職工盟要求︰
1. 中國政府立即釋放涉事的工人和聲援者，並承諾不予起訴，向涉事者道歉；
2. 全總立即停一切打壓工人自發組織工會的行為；
3. 佳士資方讓因此事被解僱的工人復職，並認可他們成立的工會。

Fifty More Workers and Students Arrested
Stop the Suppression on Jasic Workers Now
Although the workers’ struggle to form a trade union in the Shenzhen Jasic Technology Co. Ltd. has persisted for more than one month, there are still no signs of resolving. In the small hours of August 24, the police deployed a number of riot police to raid the residence of the Jasic Workers Solidarity Support Group in Huizhou, forcibly arrested more than 50 workers and students. Including those who had been arrested prior to the raid, more than 70 workers and students have been arrested so far.
Recently, the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions has launched a global appeal to call on unions and labour groups around the world to write to the Premier of the State Council, Li Keqiang, and the Chairman of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, Wang Dongming, demanding the immediate release of the Jasic workers and their supporters who were arrested for organizing their own trade union and to drop all criminal charges against them. At the same time, the appeal also demands the Chinese Government and the ACFTU to observe and implement the ILO's nasic principles in the rights to freedom of association, and hence, to ensure and assist the Jasic workers to organize their trade unions. The appeal has so far received support from labour groups, trade unions, and international labour organizations from more than a dozen countries, including the Trades Union Congress (TUC-UK), General Confederation of Labour (CGT), the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) and the Swedish Trade Union Confederation (Swedish-LO). Regrettably, the Chinese government has chosen to ignore the appeal from the international community and continue to violate international labour standards by deliberately deprive the workers’ of their rights to organize trade unions and suppress workers' actions to defend their rights. The HKCTU expressed extreme resentment and regret.
Therefore, the HKCTU demands:
1. The Chinese Government to immediately release the workers and supporters of the Jasic Workers Struggle and drop all charges against them;
2. The ACFTU to immediately stop all efforts to suppress workers’ right to freedom of association;
3. The Jasic management to reinstate all the dismissed workers and recognize the labour organization formed by the workers.
