人道中國為支持香港人道救援募捐公告

 
2019年6月9日以來,由於香港政府強行推動送中法案,香港市民多次發起大規模集會遊行,團結一致,抗拒惡法,捍衛香港的法治、民主和自由,備受全球矚目。在警方進行強力鎮壓的情況下,廣大香港市民堅持英勇抗爭,成功地阻止了惡法在立法會通過。但是港府漠視民意,至今未正面回應超百萬反送中示威者的五大訴求:完全撤回送中法案;撤銷以“暴動”定性示威;成立獨立委員會調查警察暴力;釋放被捕示威者;實現雙普選。數次大遊行中,多位示威者甚至記者被打傷,血染街頭,多人被拘捕,甚至被控“暴動罪”。示威者和普通市民遭受越來越激烈的暴力威脅,如白衣人在元朗持兇施暴、襲擊者在天水圍警署外駕車向人群投擲煙花。自從6月12日警方在金鐘使用橡皮子彈、布袋彈和催淚彈鎮壓和平表達訴求的示威民眾、引發流血事件以來,已有四位青年以死抗議,以寶貴的年輕生命對中共撕毀“一國兩制、港人治港、高度自治”承諾發出了最後的血淚控訴。

香港各界民眾不屈不撓努力爭取的,是本應屬於他們的自由和權利。香港的抗爭,是全球反對專制擴張的前沿,因而得到世界上所有熱愛自由、認同普世價值的人們的敬重和支持。

我們向關心所有香港、愛護香港的人士呼籲,請慷慨解囊,捐款為受傷、被捕、犧牲的香港市民提供人道支援,以實際行動支持香港人這場偉大的正義抗爭。

人道中國將與香港有公信力的民間組織合作,專項募捐將主要通過包括“612人道支援基金”等在香港進行人道救助,如有需要,也可以在美國幫助安置有關受害者。我們將就公開募捐進展情況定期更新。無論這次募捐總額多少,人道中國將至少向香港提供十萬港幣捐助。

人道中國是一家位於美國加利福尼亞州的註冊非盈利機構,由北京和海外的八九民運參與者創立於2007年。我們所有的工作人員均為義工,所有募集的捐款全部用於資助中國的政治受難者,近年來每年資助百位以上良心犯。

您可以選擇用支票、信用卡、Venmo等方法捐款(美國捐款可以扣稅,EIN 30-0413217),請註明“香港” 或“Hong Kong”。辦法詳見:http://h-china.org/donation/

衷心感謝您的支持!

Humanitarian China fundraising appeal: Supporting humanitarian aid in Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s massive protest movement has attracted the whole world’s attention. Since 9 June 2019, citizens in Hong Kong have been holding huge rallies and demonstrations, opposing extradition to China and defending the rule of law, democracy and freedom. Undeterred by heavy-handed police suppression, brave Hong Kongers take to the streets again and again, successfully halting the extradition bill. However, the Hong Kong government still ignores public opinion and has not fully responded to the five main demands of the demonstrators: a full withdrawal of the extradition bill; a retraction of the characterization of the movement as a “riot,” a retraction of the charges against anti-extradition protesters, the establishment of an independent committee to investigate the Hong Kong Police Force’s use of force, and the implementation of universal suffrage for the chief executive officer role and Hong Kong’s legislature. During the weeks of protests, a large number of demonstrators and even some journalists have been injured; many have been arrested, with some charged with “rioting.” Protesters and ordinary citizens have been subjected to increasing violence. For instance, men in white shirts brutally attacked protesters and passers-by in Yuen Long; fireworks were shot from a moving car into a crowd of protesters outside the Tin Shui Wai police station. Since police fired rubber bullets, bean bag rounds and tear gas into peaceful demonstrators and caused bloody clashes on June 12, four young people have fallen to their deaths, making their final, bloody protests against China’s Communist regime, who has broken its promise of a high degree of autonomy for Hong Kong and allowing Hong Kong to maintain its own governing system under the “one country, two systems” principle.

People from all walks of life in Hong Kong have been tirelessly fighting for the freedoms and rights that they rightfully deserve. The people of Hong Kong are on the frontline of a global battle against growing authoritarianism. Their unwavering spirit of resistance has won the admiration and support of all freedom-loving people in the world who uphold universal values.

We are launching an appeal to raise funds for humanitarian aid for injured, arrested or martyred Hong Kong citizens. Would you give generously out of your love and care for Hong Kong? By donating, you will be effectively assisting the people of Hong Kong in fighting the good fight of democracy.

Humanitarian China will work in partnership with credible civil society organizations in Hong Kong. This appeal aims at providing humanitarian aid in Hong Kong, mainly through funds such as “612 Humanitarian Relief Fund,” and can potentially be used for victims’ resettlement in the US, if necessary. We will keep you updated on our progress with this public fundraising appeal. Regardless of the total amount raised through this appeal, Humanitarian China will provide at least HK$100,000 in donations to Hong Kong.

Founded by participants in the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests from Beijing and overseas in 2007, Humanitarian China is a registered non-profit charity in California. All its staff members are volunteers; all funds raised are used to help victims of political persecution in China. In recent years, Humanitarian China has been providing small relief funds to more than 100 struggling prisoners of conscience and their families every year.

You can choose to send us a check, credit card or Venmo donation. If you are giving from the US, your donation is fully tax-deductible (EIN 30-0413217). Please indicate “Hong Kong”. For more details on how to donate, please visit: http://h-china.org/donation/

Thank you very much for your generosity.
