纪念“反送中”四周年——中国民主党英国总部声援参与港人集会 2023年6月11日下午，近千伦敦港人冒着酷暑在英国国会广场举行集会纪念香港“反送中”运动四周年。这场集会由多个港人团体主办，不仅由在英港人参加，还有中国民主党英国总部、藏人、维吾尔人等其他人权团体和组织的参与。
2019年6月9日，香港人为了表达对港府推行的【逃犯条例修订草案】（俗称[送中条例]）之强烈反对，103万香港人集会上街游行。香港首次于历史上有破百万人参与示威，声势浩大，引起国际媒体热议。及后，纵使百万民意明确，港府执意继续漠视市民声音，并宣布将会恢复修订程序，继而进行二读辩论。当天，香港正式踏入2019反送中运动的浪潮，港人亦开始更立场鲜明地争取公义、民主、自由、全城参与抗争，香港从此改变。
中国民主党作为一个追求民主和人权的组织，对于香港的民主运动一直持支持态度。我们认为，香港有事！民运有事！香港的自由、民主事业不仅是香港人民的权利，也是所有中国人的共同责任，我们所面对的是同一个邪恶的中共政权，中共不仅摧毁香港的自由、法治，它还威胁着台湾，影响着全世界。面对暴政，不去反抗，它会迫害更多的人。因此，中国民主党英国总部的成员积极参与了今天的集会，与在英港人一起抗争、反抗中共的暴政。反送中期间，曾经有些人以为香港可以自治，无需推翻中共，但经过这四年全世界都看到，香港不能够简简单单自决，必须推翻专制独裁的中共政权，香港和整个中国才可能真正享有自由、民主。

Commemorating the Fourth Anniversary of the “Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill” – UK Headquarters of China Democracy Party Supports and Participates in Hong Kong Rally
On the afternoon of June 11, 2023, nearly a thousand Hong Kong people gathered at the UK Parliament Square in London to commemorate the fourth anniversary of the Hong Kong “Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill” movement. The rally was organized by multiple Hong Kong groups and saw the participation of not only Hong Kong residents in the UK but also other human rights organizations and groups, including the UK Headquarters of China Democracy Party, Tibetan, Uyghur, and other rights advocates.
On June 9, 2019, over one million Hong Kong people took to the streets in a massive demonstration to express their strong opposition to the Hong Kong government’s proposed amendments to the Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (commonly known as the “Extradition Bill”). It was the first time in history that over a million people participated in a protest in Hong Kong, garnering international media attention. Despite the clear expression of public sentiment, the Hong Kong government continued to disregard the voices of its citizens and announced plans to resume the legislative process, leading to a second reading debate. That day marked the beginning of the 2019 Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill movement, and Hong Kongers began a determined fight for justice, democracy, freedom, and widespread citizen participation, ushering in a transformation in Hong Kong.
China Democracy Party, as an organization that advocates for democracy and human rights, has consistently supported the democratic movement in Hong Kong. We believe that Hong Kong matters! The democracy movement matters! The cause of freedom and democracy in Hong Kong is not only the right of the Hong Kong people but also a shared responsibility of all Chinese people. We are facing the same evil regime of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which not only undermines the freedom and rule of law in Hong Kong but also poses a threat to Taiwan and affects the whole world. Faced with tyranny, if we do not resist, it will persecute even more people. Therefore, members of the UK Headquarters of China Democracy Party actively participated in today’s rally, standing in solidarity with Hong Kong residents in the UK to fight against the CCP’s tyranny. During the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill period, some people believed that Hong Kong could achieve autonomy without overthrowing the CCP. However, over the past four years, the world has witnessed that Hong Kong cannot simply pursue self-determination but must work towards the overthrow of the authoritarian CCP regime for both Hong Kong and the entire China to truly enjoy freedom and democracy.
