Asia Regional Solidarity Campaign for Hong Kong
Global June 4th Global Mourning for the Tiananmen Square Massacre
In solidarity with democracy groups in Hong Kong and across Asia, the Asia Democracy Network is launching and participating in a regional campaign to stand in solidarity with the recent events in Hong Kong. We encourage all of you to join us!
On May 28, 2020 the Chinese parliament passed the national security law for Hong Kong, signaling an end to Hong Kong’s autonomy. Despite the global outcry condemning the move and calling to ensure the One Country Two Systems constitutional principle for the Special Administrative Regions.
China has taken advantage of the timing of the global pandemic to strike against democracy in Hong Kong. While the world is pre-occupied fighting the pandemic, it continued to oppress the people of Hong Kong. Furthermore, citing special Covid-19 measures the Hong Kong administration has banned all memorial vigils for the Tiananmen Square Massacre, for the first time in 30 years.
We call on our democracy advocates across the region to join us in our Solidarity for Hong Kong Campaign. The ADN will be conducting an online campaign condemning the National Security Law for Hong Kong and a Candlelight Vigil for June 4th Memorial of Tiananmen Square Massacre.
