#現場【香港公務員集會反送中,逾萬人相挺擠爆廣場】
香港反送中運動擴及各領域,今(2日)晚首度由公務員舉行「公僕同仁,與民同行」晚會進行聲援。主辦單位原本預期2,000人參加,結果逾萬民眾擠爆中環遮打花園相挺,香港前政務司司長陳方安生也到場發言表示支持,場面相當熱烈。
在此之前,香港公務員已用聯署方式進行表態,今晚7時至9時則是首度出面在中環遮打花園舉行集會。昨日港府罕見地發表聲明,警告公務員必須對特首忠誠,企圖阻止集會進行。
今晚集會一開始,遮打花園就已擠進爆滿人潮,由於集會人數太多,現場還有糾察和警員維持秩序。陳方安生發言表示,公務員拿出勇氣出席,讓她非常敬佩,感謝公務員顧及社會大眾利益。
香港公務員發起人宣讀大會宣言,強調公務員作為體制一員,珍惜和願意捍衛公務員核心價值,為市民服務,在大是大非之際要是其是、非其非,如果仍然袖手旁觀,有負市民所託,也有負公僕之責,所以透過集會提供平台凝聚聲音,希望特首積極聆聽社會聲音,回應5項訴求。

首公開說明香港情勢 港澳辦:觸碰「一國兩制」底線不能容忍
香港反送中運動遍地開花,中國國務院新聞辦公室於今(29日)午3點召開記者會針對香港目前的情勢具體說明,也是港澳辦自《逃犯條例》修訂以來首度公開回應。國務院港澳辦新聞發言人楊光發出三點聲明,其中指出北京政府堅決支持香港行政長官林鄭月娥依法施政,支持警方嚴正執法,並堅持「一國兩制」不走樣、不變形。
港澳辦新聞發言人楊光提出三點聲明,指出示威者嚴重威脅市民的生命財產安全,也嚴重觸碰「一國兩制」的原則底線,絕不能容忍。並表示,希望廣大市民清醒地認識到當前事態的嚴重性,共同聲討激進分子所作的惡、犯的罪,阻止他們禍害香港的行徑。
他並指出,希望香港社會各界人士堅決守護法治,強調支持林鄭月娥行政長官帶領特區政府依法施政,堅決支持香港警方嚴正執法,堅決支持香港特區政府有關部門和司法機構依法懲治暴力犯罪分子,堅決支持愛國愛港人士捍衛香港法治的行動。同時也表示體諒香港警隊及其家人所承受的巨大壓力,向香港警察,致以我們崇高的敬意。
楊光也在聲明中表示,希望香港社會盡快走出政治紛爭,集中精力發展經濟、改善民生。香港亂下去,全社會都要埋單。特區政府和全社會應該想方設法,採取更有效舉措,推動經濟發展、民生改善,特別是幫助年輕人解決在住房和學業、就業、創業等方面遇到的實際困難,紓解怨氣。
也再度強調「一國兩制」是保持香港長期繁榮穩定的最佳制度安排。中央堅持一國兩制方針不會變、不動搖,確保一國兩制實踐不走樣、不變形。
China’s top office for handling Hong Kong affairs held a press conference in Beijing on Monday to express “its stance and views on Hong Kong’s current situation.”
It was the first time that the State Council’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office held a press briefing on the city since it was established in 1997.
The office’s spokesperson Yang Guang condemned the actions of anti-extradition law protesters over recent weeks, saying that they “exceeded the boundaries of acceptable protest.”
After a recap of recent protest events, Yang made three suggestions: he called on all sectors of Hong Kong society to “clearly oppose violence”, “strongly uphold the rule of law” and to move out of political gridlock to focus on development and livelihood issues instead.
“We especially understand and sympathise with the tremendous pressure felt by the police and their families,” Yang added, saying China fully support police and law enforcement.
He claimed that “some people and media with ulterior motives” took advantage of the public’s lack of familiarity with China’s legal system, and led them to oppose the extradition bill proposed by the government.
“If Hong Kong continues to be in chaos, it will have a cost upon society,” he said.
When asked about the idea of civil disobedience, Yang dismissed the idea: “Violence is violence, breaking the law is breaking the law.”
Answering questions from the press, spokesperson Xu Luying said the central government “fully affirms” the work done by Chief Executive Carrie Lam, and will continue to support her and her administration to govern Hong Kong according to law.
“We saw that the administration has reflected on itself” regarding the extradition bill affair, she added.
As the press conference ended, reporters shouted questions at the department spokespeople, including: “Why don’t you condemn the police for beating people” and “Why isn’t Carrie Lam stepping down yet,” but received no reply.
Lawmaker Starry Lee, who heads the pro-Beijing DAB party, welcomed the statement from the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office. She said the three major points brought up by the spokesperson – oppose violence, uphold rule of law, develop the economy and improve livelihoods – represents the public’s expectations as well.
It affirmed that the central government was highly concerned and closely monitoring the situation in Hong Kong, Lee said.
Asked if she believed China’s backing would make the Hong Kong government unwilling to conduct an independent investigation, Lee said there were difficulties in establishing such an investigative commission.
Democratic Party leader Wu Chi-wai said that the central government misjudged the situation, and “cut off possible paths for moving forward.” Beijing’s support for Lam means that there will be an increasing reliance on the police as a solution, he added.
“[Beijing] believes that the anti-extradition protests can be violently suppressed by the police, and never considered solving a political problem by political means,” he said. “Once the police increase the force of their suppression, it will spark greater resistance from Hong Kong people, creating a vicious cycle.”
Pro-democracy camp convenor Claudia Mo called the response from Beijing “disappointing,” adding that it was out of touch with local sentiments. Lawmaker Ray Chan added that Beijing should also have condemned the attacks in Yuen Long by thugs dressed in white.
The extradition bill would allow the city to handle case-by-case fugitive transfers to jurisdictions with no prior arrangments, including China. Critics have said residents are at risk of extradition to the mainland, which lacks human rights protections. Large-scale protests since June have since morphed into wider displays of dissent over dwindling freedoms, democracy, alleged police brutality and other community grievances. On July 9, Chief Executive Carrie Lam declared the bill “dead,” but did not enact any mechanism to withdraw it or agree to step down.
