近日香港政府因港人在台干犯兇殺案而雙方未有引渡機制,以堵塞現行法例漏洞為由,提出《逃犯條例》修訂草案。建議容許與中國、澳門和台灣就逃至香港的疑犯進行「一次性」移交,同時把審議申請的權利由立法會轉至行政長官和香港法庭。
儘管連日來已有來自不同界別的聲音表達對該修訂案的質疑,同時國際社會表示關注,擔心香港法治與自由會因此而被削弱。各國政府更表示中國抓捕國民作政治外交籌碼早有先例,未知會否透過港府引渡港人,使外資對香港引以為傲的法治失去信心,通過惡法後更會一舉破壞香港作為國際金融中心的根基。修例後即使並非國民,任何在港人士都有機會被移交至中國境內,各國為了保護國民將與香港減少往來,港人的發展機會也因而減少。
可是,面對市民對修訂的反對與質疑,香港政府依然漠視民意,一意孤行,在缺乏充分公眾諮詢的情況下倉促修例,甚至以行政暴力手段繞過正常立法程序,試圖強行通過修訂案。然而,台灣陸委會早已清楚表明即使通過修例,亦不會同意移交兇殺案犯陳同佳。政府在此情況下,仍一意孤行強推修例,明顯地「台灣兇殺案」只是用瞞騙市民的一個藉口,背後還有其他盤算。
即使香港政府曾表示修例後不會就政治罪行進行引渡,亦難免中國政府會以其他罪行加諸於無辜的香港市民身上 。我們雖然身在異地,但眼見香港政府對中共政權為首的利益集團唯唯諾諾,屢次破壞香港法治制度與司法獨立,踐踏香港人的民主意志,企圖剝奪香港人人權;而此舉試圖把中國刑法制度帶到香港,將摧毀香港制度自主性,嚴重影響香港之國際地位,我們絶對不可接受!
條例一旦通過,港人目前享有的學術自由、集會自由、新聞自由和言論自由等將被剝奪,不但香港異見人士人身安全將受嚴重威脅,連普羅大眾日常生活都變得提心吊膽。更失去香港一直引以為傲的獨特性,令國際對香港失去信心,與中國境內一般城市無異。
為維護香港人的自由、尊嚴及價值觀,我們一眾在英國生活的香港人嚴正要求香港政府立即撒回《逃犯條例》修訂草案,維持港人應有的自由和人權,保護香港的核心價值。
我們深切盼望香港政府能重拾理性,以社會整體利益為先,莫摧毀香港引以為傲的核心價值和發展基石。

<<Joint statement by Hong Kongers in the UK against the amendment of the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance>>
Citing a murder committed by a Hong Kong man in Taiwan last year, the Hong Kong government claims its' Fugitive Offenders Ordinance (Amendment) Bill is essential for closing the “legal loophole” created by the lack of an extradition agreement. The proposed bill will allow suspects of crimes committed in mainland China, Macau and Taiwan to be extradited directly to these regions, and hand the power of oversight from the Legislative Council to the Chief Executive and Hong Kong courts.
Multiple countries have pointed out China’s practice of detaining citizens as political and diplomatic bargaining chips and expressed their concern that the proposed bill will extend that threat to Hong Kong and destroy foreign investors’ confidence in the city’s rule of law and status as an international financial centre. Once the bill is passed, anyone present in Hong Kong will be at risk, including foreigners; thus in order to protect their own citizens, countries will inevitably reduce their investment and exposure to Hong Kong.
Despite strong opposition from many sectors in Hong Kong as well as concern from the international community regarding the bill’s substantial damage to our city’s rule of law and freedoms, the Hong Kong government continues to defy overwhelming popular opinion, attempting to force its bill through LegCo without due process. Even in light of Taiwan’s statement that they are against the bill and would not be applying for the extradition of the murder suspect, the Hong Kong government blindly forges ahead - clearly demonstrating that the Taiwan murder is merely a fig leaf for other objectives.
Although the government claims political crimes will be exempt from extradition, there are no safeguards against the Chinese government framing innocent Hong Kong citizens with trumped-up charges. From overseas we are witnessing our government’s complete subservience to China’s interests, repeated erosion of Hong Kong’s rule of law and judicial independence and crushing of our people’s democratic aspirations - the proposed bill would introduce China’s criminal system into Hong Kong and greatly damage its autonomy and international status, which we absolutely cannot stand for.
If the bill passes, academic freedom, freedoms of assembly, the press, and expression will vanish. Not only will it seriously threaten the personal safety of Hong Kong’s dissidents, but normal citizens will also begin to live under a shadow of fear. Worst of all, Hong Kong will lose its cherished uniqueness and the confidence of the international community to become just another Chinese city.
In order to protect Hong Kongers’ freedoms, dignity and value system, we, a group of Hong Kong people in the UK, demand the government retract the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance (Amendment) Bill immediately and maintain our entitled freedoms and human rights and Hong Kong’s core values.
We sincerely hope that the government can act rationally in the best interests of Hong Kong society as a whole, instead of wrecking Hong Kong’s core values and cornerstones of development.
