-- Edward Snowden, the whistleblower behind the NSA internet and phone surveillance program has come to Hong Kong because, he says, we “have a spirited commitment to free speech and the right of political dissent". Snowden sacrificed his personal safety and freedom to defend our right to free speech and Internet freedom.
-- We call on Hong Kong to respect international legal standards and procedures relating to the protection of Snowden; we condemn the U.S. government for violating our rights and privacy; and we call on the U.S. not to prosecute Snowden.”
-- Do you want to stand for freedom and the rule of law? Or should we totally disregard Hong Kong's legal system? This episode marks a crossroads in Hong Kong's future. Stand up for the future of Hong Kong.
-- Time: 3-5:30pm, Saturday June 15, 2013.
-- Rally route: Starting 3pm at Chater Garden, Central MTR exit J2. Rally to the U.S Consulate and then Tamar SAR government building.
