Response to the Hong Kong Police arrest warrant of secession allegation

Hong Kong National Security Police issues arrest warrants for Christoper Mung today, along with seven other Hong Kong pro-democracy activists. Below is his statement in response to the arrest warrant. 


When I went into exile and chose to continue fighting for Hong Kong labour rights, I was aware that I would one day become a target of the government’s repression.  

The smear campaign against pro-democracy activists by the Hong Kong National Security Police was not unexpected. The authorities can tell a lie ten thousand times, but it can never become the truth. 

Over the past three years, the Hong Kong government has repeatedly used “national security” as a pretext to curtail Hong Kongers’ fundamental freedoms and human rights as recognised by international human rights law and standards. Arbitrary arrests and prosecutions of dissidents have become an “absurd routine” in Hong Kong. 

If I were ever found guilty, my only “crime” would be speaking the truth for my fellow Hong Kongers – the truth that the Chinese and Hong Kong government used the National Security Law and other means, to relentlessly crack down on Hong Kongers’ rights and freedoms. 

Today, as the Hong Kong National Police issued an arrest warrant in an attempt to extend their hand overseas, they once again demonstrated how the draconian National Security Law violated fundamental human rights. 

No matter how hard the dictator attempts to instil fear in the society, Hong Kongers’ determination to resist and their courage will not be crushed. 

I will not cease my advocacy work for Hong Kong labour rights abroad, including through my work with international organisations and trade unions in different countries. Hong Kong Labour Rights Monitor and I will always stand with Hong Kong. We walk shoulder to shoulder with the people of Hong Kong. Our conviction is as strong as ever. We will continue to speak up for workers in Hong Kong and amplify their voices around the world.

回應香港國安處懸紅通緝

香港國安處於七月三日懸紅通緝香港勞權監察總幹事蒙兆達,以及另外七名香港民主派人士。以下是蒙兆達的回應﹕

從踏上流亡之路,立志在海外繼續這未完的抗爭之始,已知道可能會有這一天 。 

國安處胡亂誣蔑的手法,已是司空見慣。謊言說一萬次,仍然只是謊言,事實不會被改變。過去三年,當局假借「國家安全」之名,凌駕各項國際標準下的自由和人權,任意對異見人士進行拘捕或檢控,已成香港的「荒謬日常」。 

 「欲加之罪,何患無辭。」當這個政權要針對一個人或一個組織,總可任意生安白造一個藉口。如果我真的有罪,我的罪名只有一個,就是為香港人說出真相。我一直在海外所批評和揭露的,就是中國政府及特區政府肆意以國安法及其他粗暴手段,剝奪香港人的基本自由和人權。 

今日國安處所發出的通緝令,企圖將其魔爪延伸至海外,無非再一次引證國安法對自由的侵害。 

但我堅信,縱使獨裁者以再多的卑劣手段散播恐懼,也不能消滅香港人的勇氣和反抗意志。 

我在海外進行的倡議工作,包括連結各地及國際工會,絕對不會停步。無論身處什麼地方,我和香港勞權監察都會秉持信念,與香港人並肩同行;繼續為香港勞工發聲,將他們的聲音帶到國際。
