個人聲明：公義和人權絕不妨礙他人
Personal Statement: Justice and human rights upset no one, except for evils
你有沒有聽過在香港被打壓的異議人士，即使在避難也不能為自己發聲，因為說出這種經歷會被認為是「刺激」了別人？
你能想像我們在這樣的 #自由民主 國家中所經歷的這種持續的隱性審查，會以「公正」、「#中立」，甚至「#和平」、「#大愛」和「寬容」的名義出現嗎？
香港被禁止的用於教育公民自由 和 #人權 的書籍或遊戲在英國也可能被拒絕，我們被告知「這可能會讓一些人不高興」，「和平或 #安寧 受到干擾」。
香港被禁止的「#香港加油」的工藝品在英國也可能被移除，我們被告知在社區節日活動中應「不介入 #政治」。
中共的 #黨和國家領導人 #梁振英 甚至公開在社交媒體號令一些人秘密地監視海外流亡港人社區的活動，並向警方匿名告發那些「令政權當局難堪」的人。
昨天禁止了「#羊村 2.0」的教育課程，今天下架了「香港加油」工藝品，如果明天刪除了歌曲、圖片、書籍，甚至我們所捍衛的人類尊嚴，我們也不會感到驚訝。
我們被告知所有「妥協」都是為了「照顧他人的感受」，為了愛、為了和平、為了寬容。 不，沒有。 這是徹底的 #言論審查，甚至是 #人格污蔑。
如果我們不阻止這種誤解，那麼這種為社會公義而努力的作為，甚至是被政權迫害的受害者，都會被錯誤地視為 #不便的存在、滋擾的根源。
我們敦促各界應繼續保持警惕，捍衛我們在英國的自由。關於人權和公民教育的活動和努力應該得到 #平等 的 #尊重，不受阻礙。
Have you ever heard dissidents who are suppressed in hometown cannot speak out for themselves even in a refuge because such experience is deemed to ‘upset’ others?
Can you imagine such on-going censorship we have been experiencing in even such liberal democracy could be in the name of ‘#impartiality’, or even ‘#peace’, ‘#love’ and ‘#tolerance’?
We see board games for educating civil liberty and human rights which is banned in Hong Kong could be also rejected in the UK, we are told ‘it may upset some people’, ‘peace is #disturbed’.
We see crafts with a message about ‘Free Hong Kong’ in a market which is banned in Hong Kong could be also removed in the UK, we are ridiculed by ‘no politics’ in community festivals.
A Chinese state leader CY Leung publicly advocates anonymous people to secretly monitor exiled community events and grass on those ‘who upset or shame the authorities’ to the police.
A board game was banned yesterday, a craft is removed today, we are not surprised if songs, pictures, books, even human dignity we stand for will be cancelled tomorrow.
We are told all ‘compromises’ are for the sake of ‘taking care of others’ feeling’ - for love, for peace, for tolerance. No, none. That is a de-facto #censorship, and even a #vilification.
If we don’t stop this #misperception, such works for social justice and even victims of human rights abuses are mistakenly seen as a source of #inconvenience and #disturbance.
We urge a continued vigilance in the defence of our #freedom in the UK - events about human rights and civic education should be #equally treated with #respect and without let and #hindrance.
