Hong Kong’s democracy fight is also a battle for women’s freedom

Despite gendered repression, smear campaigns and imprisonment by Beijing authorities, women in Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement continue to lead and resist.

🎥 Projection du documentaire « She’s in Jail » sur CHOW Hang-tung, une avocate emprisonnée pour avoir commémoré #Tiananmen

« She’s in Jail » (幸彤在監獄) est un documentaire indépendant sur Me. Tonyee CHOW Hang-tung. Avocate-militante hongkongaise emprisonnée, elle a lutté pour les droits de l’homme, la démocratisation et l’état de droit à Hong Kong ainsi qu’en Chine.

Ayant organisé des commémorations du Massacre de Tiananmen, et ayant défendu les droits fondamentaux des Chinois, elle est actuellement inculpée pour subversion de l’État chinois sous la Loi sur la Sécurité Nationale, en vigueur à Hong Kong depuis 2020.

En projetant ce film, DOC ! et le Comité voudrions vous rappeler l’importance de la liberté d'expression et de la démocratie. En raison de l'actuelle situation délicate en France, nous avons décidé de décaler la projection du documentaire à 14h, pour que vous puissiez voter avant ou après la séance, ou défendre la démocratie après le scrutin.

Vive la liberté ! On se verra dimanche.

Dimanche 7/7/2024
14h (suivie d'une table ronde à 16h)

Screening of the documentary “She’s in Jail” about imprisoned #HongKong barrister and activist #ChowHangtung at the Japanese parliamentary building in #Tokyo. Thanks Shu Sakurai, Uryu Hirano and Alric Lee for their excellent speeches.

When we heard the news, our reaction was like: #ChowHangtung's friends and her mother were also arrested? Just so much like what happen to human rights defenders in China, and to certain extent even worse.

Hong Kong police arrest 6 people accused of violating the city's new national security law

Hong Kong police on Tuesday arrested six people, including a former organizer of the city’s decades-long annual vigil that commemorated China’s Tiananmen Square crackdown, for allegedly publishing seditious social media posts. They were the first publicly known arrests under the city’s new national security law. Secretary for Security Chris Tang said Chow Hang-tung, a former leader of the group behind the vigil, alongside five others, used a social media page to anonymously publish the posts. The authorities allege the acts aimed to provoke hatred against Beijing, the Hong Kong government and the city's judicial institutions. Police said another goal of the acts was to incite netizens to organize or participate in illegal activities later.
