[Urgent Appeal to Sign Up Joint Statement of Manchester Hongkongers and Organisations on Violent Attack of Peaceful Protestors at Chinese Consulate in Manchester: 16 October 2022]
曼徹斯特香港人及組織就2022年10月16日中國駐英國曼徹斯特領事館人員襲擊和平示威者事件發表之聯合聲明
我們深切關注今日中國駐英國曼徹斯特領事館人員襲擊和平示威者的事件。此暴力事件明顯侵犯英國公民的言論及人身自由，絕不能容忍。
從不同直播片段可見，中國駐英國曼徹斯特領事館職員破壞及搶奪和平示威者的私有財產，更有數名香港示威者被中國領事館職員強行擄入領事館範圍，並遭一群（至少五至六名）中國領事館職員暴力圍毆。
事件足證中國的政治壓迫無分國界，甚至在英國街頭上演。
我們懇切要求英國外交部（ Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office）以及外相 James Cleverly MP 立即立案調查涉事中國領使館職員有否違反英國法律及國際法。
我們絕不容忍任何對和平示威者的暴力行為，並嚴正譴責中國駐英國曼徹斯特領事館職員無理限制英國國民的人身、集會及示威自由並施行暴力的野蠻行為。
我們謹此對受害的和平示威者表示慰問，並祝傷者早日康復。

Joint Statement of Manchester Hongkongers and Organisations on Violent Attack of Peaceful Protestors at Chinese Consulate in Manchester: 16 October 2022
We express our deepest concern about the violence inflicted by the Chinese Consulate upon peaceful Hong Kong protesters in Manchester today. Such violence is in clear violation of UK citizens’ freedom of expression and right to security. It should by no means be tolerated.
As shown by several online footage, a peaceful protest was held outside the Chinese Consulate in Manchester by a group of Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters on a public pavement in front of the Consulate. Video evidence showed several men walking out from the Consulate and brutally destroying personal properties of the protesters. The protester was subsequently dragged behind the gates of the Consulate and beaten aggressively by a gang of at least five to six men.
This appalling incident evidenced that the Chinese Government’s oppressive arms are not confined only within its claimed territories, but reaching far beyond to the British streets.
We strongly urge the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, and our Foreign Secretary James Cleverly MP to investigate the violation of international law in this violent incident.
Any brute force and violence to peaceful protesters should not be tolerated. We strongly condemn the savage acts committed by members of staff of the Chinese Consulate in Manchester, of illegal detention of British Nationals, and exploitation of individual’s right to liberty and security, along with their freedom of assembly and demonstration.
Our thoughts are with those peaceful protesters in Manchester.
