Support our Next Hong Kong Campaign

Hi, we are seeking for your support to continue our future campaigns.

Asian Commons alongside with The 29 Principles are campaigning for a project which tells the truth about the decline of rule of law in Hong Kong.

The first documentary of the series is currently screening worldwide. This documentary is about a barrister and women human rights defender in Hong Kong Chow Hang Tung. Chow has emerged as a leading advocate for human rights in Hong Kong and mainland China. Being a barrister-at-law, Chow leveraged her legal acumen to challenge unjust laws and defend human rights defenders. Chow has been committed to adopt non-violent means to push for change, even amid severe repression.

Chow is now facing prolonged pre-trial detention and has been charged with various offenses including Inciting Subversion of State Power under the National Security Law. Despite the imprisonment, Chow’s human rights work has been recgonised by three international human rights awards, including 2023 Gwangju Prize for Human Rights (South Korea), 2023 CCBE Human Rights Award, and 2023 Franco-German Prize for Human Rights and the Rule of Law.

We thereby would like to call for your action to support our next campaign, as well as your solidarity in ensuring that the voices of others like Chow continue to be heard.

亞洲公共圈以及29原則正籌備關於香港法治崩壞的長期計劃。首部發行的紀錄片正陸續於全球放映。這部紀錄片是關於一位香港的大律師及女性人權捍衛者鄒幸彤的故事。鄒是一位香港及中國大陸的人權倡議領袖。作為大律師，鄒運用法律才能挑戰不公正的法律，捍衛其他人權捍衛者。一直以來，鄒採取非暴力手段推動革新，即便是活在壓制下宗旨亦如一。

如今鄒面臨未有了期的審前拘留，在國安法下，被指控多項罪名，包括煽動顛覆國家政權。監禁期間，鄒的人權工作已得到三個國際人權獎項認可，包括2023年光洲人權獎（南韓）、2023年歐洲律師聯合會人權獎和2023年法德人權與法治獎。

因此，我們呼籲您支持我們接下來的計劃，希望您繼續確保像鄒幸彤這樣的聲音能夠被聽見。
