To the Honorable Judge in Hong Kong: Please "Fight Like a Man" for Hong Kong's Lawful Justice!


By Feiming

(Clearwisdom.net) Hong Kong authorities' trial of 16 Falun Gong practitioners is widely considered a "political trial." People from all walks of life worry about the status and future of Hong Kong's "One Nation, Two Systems" policy. As the autocratic Jiang regime inhumanely tortures Falun Gong practitioners, the ongoing political trial in Hong Kong's court indeed violates the principle of "the law safeguarding justice." Think about it: if a butcher killed an innocent man by virtue of his authority, and then the victim's family members peacefully appealed in front of the butcher's door and were subsequently all implicated, should the law investigate whether the behavior in the peaceful appeal was perfect or not, or should the law seriously investigate and affix the legal responsibility on the butcher who created the problem?

The judge in this trial even openly takes the prosecutor's side, while rudely criticizing the defense attorney. Shockingly, the judge even shouted at the defense attorney to, "Fight like a man!"

I would like to address a rhetorical question to His Honor: "Judge, are you 'fighting like a man'?"

The autocrat in Mainland China presently has extended his and his clique's vicious pressure against the "One Nation, Two Systems" policy existing in Hong Kong, in an attempt to disrupt the independence of Hong Kong's judicial system. Faced with this situation, I hope the honorable judge and all other officials in Hong Kong will ask themselves, "Am I man enough to withstand the pressure from this autocracy? Am I man enough to protect the independence of Hong Kong's judicial system? Am I man enough to safeguard Hong Kong's 'One Nation, Two Systems' policy?"

Hong Kong authorities: please listen to some voices from civilized society!

On July 24, 2002, by a vote of 420-0, the U.S. House of Representatives in the United States of America unanimously passed "House Concurrent Resolution 188," which urges Jiang Zemin's regime to immediately stop its persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China and its harassment of Falun Gong practitioners outside of China. On July 23, 2002, the government of the United Kingdom published its 11th biannual report on Hong Kong's development. In this report the UK government expressed concern that authorities in the Hong Kong government had begun to suppress protests.

The report highlighted the on-going trial and pointed out that after Hong Kong policemen detained 16 Falun Gong practitioners with the accusation of "obstruction," [obstructing traffic] the Hong Kong government ironically later dug up pavement at the very spot where Falun Gong practitioners were arrested for obstruction.

UK Foreign Secretary Mr. Jack Straw stated that, "the basic rights and freedoms afforded to the people of Hong Kong through the Joint Declaration and the Basic Law continue to be upheld." "Freedom of assembly and freedom of speech must not be compromised."

The Swiss chapter of the International Catholic Peace Movement, Pax Christi, (Peace of Christ) called on Hong Kong's government to drop proceedings against Falun Gong practitioners.

Hong Kong authorities: please "BE MEN!" like the officials in civilized societies.
