【有關一名香港反送中示威者於德國成功取得政治庇護之聲明】

一名因被警方以暴動罪拘捕而流亡德國之中大女學生，於本年十月十四日收到德國聯邦移民與難民局通知，其庇護申請正式獲批，並取得為期三年的難民身份。這是自反送中運動爆發後，第一宗香港年青示威者於德國成功申請政治庇護的案件。

避風驛就德國政府此決定表示感激。德國政府並非首次批出庇護予香港人。於二零一八年五月，德國政府亦批出庇護予兩名香港抗爭者-本土民主前線創辦人暨避風驛共同發起人黃台仰及前本土民主前線成員李東昇。德國乃首個歐洲國家向香港公民批出庇護。

避風驛在感激德國政府對香港示威者予以人道援助的同時，亦促請德國政府以及歐盟國家致力完善其難民機制，並考慮制定全面的救生艇政策。

該22歲中大女生向避風驛透露，在其等待的過程中，面對過不少難關，例如在難民營的生活、因情緒問題而需要入院、以及被難民營職員性侵的經歷。居住在難民營近十一個月的她表示：「我很感謝德國政府對我批出庇護。在整個申請過程中，德國政府提供了大部分生活上的基本需要，如衣食住行及基本醫療服務。」但她亦指出「若然德國政府能考慮簡化香港難民申請者的程序，以及容許申請者在等待過程中自由選擇居住地點，這將會是對香港抗爭者的支持。」

香港監察高級政策顧問Sam Goodman亦表示：「我們歡迎德國政府向該女生提供庇護的決定。這表明德國政府致力于保護人權，並認為在港區國安法生效後，許多香港青年若留在香港，將面臨政治迫害，任意逮捕和監禁。」

他繼續：「然而，這位女生在難民營的經歷反映現在是改革難民政策的時侯。在七月時，德國聯同其他歐盟國家同意提出建議，作為國際救生艇政策的一部分，讓香港青年在歐盟國家更容易留下讀書及工作。將近三個月後，我們認為現在是德國政府履行承諾的時候。」

Goodman建議德國政府「透過改革其庇護政策來提供特別方案予有機會面臨政治迫害的香港人申請庇護、延長工作假期簽證、或考慮通過擴大Erasmus Program予香港學生來制定適用於全歐盟的救生艇政策。」他總結指，「德國應與志同道合的國際伙伴聯手，確保每一個香港人在面對進一步打壓時，都有可行政策保護他們。」

【Haven Assistance’s statement on the German government’s decision to grant a Hong Kong protester asylum status】

On October 14, 2020, a 22-year-old student of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), who fled Hong Kong last November, was granted refugee status for three years by the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge, BAMF). This is the first instance of a protestor receiving asylum in Germany following activities in the anti-extradition law movement.

Haven Assistance would like to express our gratitude to the German Government for this decision. This is not the first time that the German Government has granted asylum to Hong Kong citizens. In May 2018, the German government granted asylum to two Hong Kong activists -- Ray Wong Toi-Yeung, the founder of Hong Kong Indigenous (HKI) and co-founder of Haven Assistance, and Alan Li Tung-Sing, a former member of HKI. Germany was the first European country to grant asylum to Hong Kong citizens.

However, while Haven Assistance welcomes the German Government’s decision to grant asylum to the Hong Kong protester, we also urge Germany and other European countries to continue to improve their asylum processes and consider enacting a comprehensive lifeboat policy for Hong Kongers.

The student protester told Haven Assistance that she had faced many hardships during her application process, such as living in refugee camps for nearly 11 months, being hospitalised due to emotional issues, and being sexually assaulted by a refugee camp staff. “I am grateful to the German government for granting me asylum. The German government has provided me with basic necessities, such as food, clothing, shelter, transportation and basic medical services,” she said when sharing her life in refugee camps. “However, if the German government could consider simplifying the asylum application process for Hong Kong protesters, such as allowing them to choose freely their place of residence while waiting for the decision,” she also suggested, “it would be of great convenience and support to them.”

Sam Goodman, Senior Policy Advisor at Hong Kong Watch, said:

“We welcome the German Government’s decision to grant asylum to the female protester. It demonstrates the German Government’s commitment to stand up for human rights and its recognition that under the National Security Law many Hong Kongers face political persecution, arbitrary arrest and detention if they stay in the city.”

Goodman continued: “However, the young woman’s experiences in the refugee camp shows that it is time for reform. In July, Germany along with the other EU Member States agreed to bring in proposals to make it easier for young Hong Kongers to work and study in Europe as part of an international lifeboat policy. Nearly three months later, we believe it is time for the German Government to act on its promise.”

He also suggested that the German government could “reform its asylum policy by designating a specific pathway for Hong Kongers at risk of political persecution, expanding its Working Holiday Visa, and considering the case for an EU-wide lifeboat policy through expanding the Erasmus scheme for Hong Kongers.” Germany should, he concluded, “join like-minded international partners in ensuring that Hongkongers has a viable insurance policy in the face of a further crackdown on their rights.”

劉康是我很欣賞的年輕人，若他是在民主社會，他定必成為政壇成功之人，推動社會進步
可惜，香港正被獨裁的中共控制……
祝劉同學在英國生活愉快

新聞稿：劉康抵英尋政治庇護 | Press Release: Hong Kong Democratic Activist Honcques Laus Has Applied for Political Asylum in Great Britain

(Kindly please scroll down for English)

導言：

劉康今日公開透露，出於自己政治立場，面臨香港政府用中國國安惡法政治迫害，故六月尾已去到英國尋求政治庇護。他表示，自己早在讀中學時，已有高舉香港獨立標語向林鄭示威，而上年又曾到英美領事館請求制裁侵犯香港人自由的親中人士，亦在上年出版了主張香港獨立的書《輕論時政》。他提到，他在英國已獲鄭文傑成立的避風驛協助，亦獲英國政府支援。他呼籲，世界各國制裁香港政府同中國政府。

正文：

劉康透露，中國國安惡法實施前，他因知道自己會因政見，而受香港政府政治迫害，所以六月尾已抵達英國倫敦希思路機場申請政治庇護。劉康斥，中國國安惡法嚴重侵犯言論自由同人權。

劉康指，他過往已因政治立場而慘遭政府迫害，例如在2017年11月明報校園記者開學禮，與林鄭月娥合照期間，高舉香港獨立標語示威之後，就慘遭香港政府無理報復拘捕、控告及還押監獄，「反映自己一直被香港政府高度政治針對」。劉康又指，他上年7月公開到英美領事館請求英美制裁侵犯香港人自由的親中人士，他亦在上年8月出版主張香港獨立的政論集《輕論時政》，他認為「香港政府同中國政府會陰險地用中國國安惡法秋後算帳」。

劉康提及，抵達英國後，由鄭文傑成立的避風驛（Haven Assistance），一直協助他處理政治庇護程序，又免費為他安排了律師，亦解答他英國日常生活問題。劉康對鄭文傑及避風驛，表示非常感謝，亦建議流亡英國的香港抗爭者不妨尋找避風驛協助。

劉康亦非常感激，英國政府及國會議員以各種方式支持香港民主抗爭者。劉康表示，英國政府一直禮待他，包括妥善安排住宿，提供每日三餐。

劉康表示，在英國可以呼吸自由空氣，享受言論自由，不用再受到香港政府及中國政府迫害及恐嚇，但他對香港政府及中國政府損害香港人自由，仍然感到非常憤怒，「香港明明屬於香港人，但而家要走嘅人係香港人，而唔係班賣港賊。」

劉康呼籲，世界各國，包括英國、美國、歐盟、臺灣、日本及所有文明國家，制裁香港政府及中國政府，包括對侵犯人權者實行，禁止入境、凍結資產及貿易制裁。他解釋，制裁是為了捍衛香港人言論自由與人權，讓暴政者承受打壓自由的代價。加上，中國國安惡法冒犯了全球每個人，因為祇要勇於批評香港或中國政府垃圾政策，就會違反這個惡法。

他又指，最近香港政府用中國國安惡法迫害主張獨立的人士，明顯是踐踏言論自由、人道災難，而如果自己沒有及時去到英國，「今日香港政府就會拘捕我、迫害我。」

Hong Kong Democratic Activist Honcques Laus Has Applied for Political Asylum in Great Britain

Lead:

Hong Kong democratic activist Honcques Laus (劉康) disclosed today that he had moved to Great Britain in late June for seeking political asylum, because he would face political persecution with China's National Security Law, by reason of his political opinion - he approved of Hong Kong independence (he publicly demonstrated against Carrie Lam with Hong Kong Independence slogan in 2017. And he published his book supporting Hong Kong independence last year), and he also approved of imposing sanctions on human rights violators in Hong Kong. He mentioned that he got support from Simon Cheng and Haven Assistance. He also got support from the UK government. He sincerely requested the international community to impose sanctions against the Hong Kong government and the Chinese government for violation of human rights.

Body:

Honcques revealed that he had applied for political asylum at London Heathrow Airport in late June. He explained, "China's Evil National Security Law is a blatant violation of freedom of speech and human rights", and he would face political persecution by reason of his political opinion in Hong Kong.

Honcques said he had been already politically persecuted by the Hong Kong government. In November 2017, he was a secondary school student, and first grabbed headline when he demonstrated against Carrie Lam with Hong Kong Independence slogan during a photography opportunity. After that, he was subject to politically motivated arrest, prosecution, and imprisonment by the Hong Kong government. He concluded that he had been highly politically targeted by the Hong Kong government.

Honcques said, in July last year, he went to the UK Consulate and the US Consulate to request the UK and the US to impose sanctions against some pro-China politicians who violated the freedom of Hongkongers. In August last year, he published his book 輕論時政, approving of Hong Kong independence, and criticising the Hong Kong government. He discerned, he would be politically persecuted by the Hong Kong government and the Chinese government, with China's Evil National Security Law.

Honcques mentioned that Simon Cheng and Haven Assistance had been assisting him in the political asylum process, arranging a solicitor for him and answering his questions about daily life in the UK. He said he was grateful to Simon Cheng and Haven Assistance. He suggested, Hong Kong protesters in exile in Great Britain seek assistance from Haven Assistance.

Honcques said he was very appreciative of all the support the UK government and Members of Parliament had given the Hong Kong democratic protesters. Honcques also described that the UK government had been treating him excellently, including arranging for him to stay in an accommodation and offering three good meals a day to him free of charge as well.

Honcques stated, he could breathe free air and enjoy the freedom of speech in Great Britain. And in Great Britain, he would not be persecuted and threatened by the Hong Kong government and the Chinese government any longer. However, he was really angry that the Hong Kong government and the Chinese government violating the freedom of Hongkongers. "Hong Kong obviously belongs to Hongkongers, not China's communist bandits. Unfortunately, China's communist bandits still occupy Hong Kong, and Hongkongers have to leave their homeland." Honcques said.

Honcques sincerely requested all the countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, the European Union, Taiwan, Japan and all civilized nations, to impose sanctions against human rights violators of the Hong Kong government and the Chinese government, including immigration bans, asset freezes and trade sanctions. He explained that the sanctions could defend the freedom of speech and human rights of Hongkongers and to make tyrants pay the price for oppression. "China's Evil National Security Law, moreover, offends everyone around the globe, as it is probably applied to anyone, who is courageous to criticise the bad policy of Hong Kong or China." Honcques also clarified.

Honcques also pointed out that the recent Hong Kong government's use of China's national security laws to persecute independents in Hong Kong is distinctly a violation of freedom of speech and a humanitarian disaster. "If I haven't moved to the UK promptly, then I would be politically arrested and persecuted by the Hong Kong government today." Honcques said.

Germany Stand with Hong Kong

===================

[English Translation of Petition]
Safeguard Hong Kong, No More Suppression on Human Rights!

We are a group of Hongkongers living in Germany. Due to the out-of-hand violence of the Hong Kong Police Force (hereinafter referred to as the "HKPF"), the social movement in Hong Kong has turned into a humanitarian disaster. We call on the Federal Republic of Germany (hereinafter referred to as the “Federal Government”) to provide emergency assistance and we urge the Federal Government to take immediate and practicable action.

Abusive use of weapons and dereliction of duty by HKPF:
1. Protesters and passengers were assaulted by suspected triad groups in metro stations, and police only arrived 40 minutes after reports were made (Yuen Long MTR station on 21 July; similar attacks happened in Tsuen Wan and North Point on 5 August and 11 August respectively)
2. Mishandling a teenage female protester by male police officers, exposing her body parts during the arrest (Tin Shui Wai on 4 Aug)
3. Manipulation and deliberate planting of evidence (eg. putting sharp bamboo stick into protester’s backpacks, unsealing evidence bags that should remain sealed until presented at court)
4. 3 Members of Legislative Council, and more student activists were arrested by the police and 2 organizers of demonstrations were attacked by thugs on 30 August which is the eve of a massive demonstration
5. Police stormed the metro station, beat protesters and passengers in the station and on the train, closed all the exits and then expel all reporters and first-aiders from the metro station (Prince Edward MTR station on 31 Aug)

CALL FOR ACTIONS
In order to protect German expatriates and the interests of German enterprises in Hong Kong, as well as to protect the human rights of EU citizens in Hong Kong, we urge the Federal Government to consider taking the following actions:
1. Halt all export of crowd control equipment and “less-lethal” weaponry to Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF)
2. Express concerns regarding the escalating tension in Hong Kong and safety of German expatriates in Hong Kong
3. Deploy official Human Rights Observer to Hong Kong and to make an independent observation at the frontline
4. Acknowledge that protesters in Hong Kong may be persecuted on political grounds and adjust its asylum policy to Hong Kong asylum seekers
5. Halt any cooperation and exchange programme with the HKPF
6. Forbid entry into the EU / Revoke the right of abode or EU citizenship (if any) / Freeze the assets in EU of senior officers of Hong Kong Government and pro-China legislators and their immediate family members (if any)

HONG KONG,
made up of lovable Hongkongers,
who yearn for freedom, democracy and human rights,
was, is now and ever will be
a FREE PORT which belongs to the world of civilization.
