Dear Secretary Lam,

I am writing You as a person who is also in his own country concerned with the respect of Human Rights. Please allow me to express my great concern about te situation of

CHOW HANG-TUNG

I want to express my deep concern for human rights lawyer Chow Hang-tung. She initially received a 22 months jail sentence in 2022 for peacefully remembering the victims of the Tiananmen Square crackdown in 1989.
Chow Hang-tung is also facing further wrongful imprisonment for allegedly ‘endangering national security’ through her entirely peaceful actions. The trial is due to start in May 2025. Her application for bail was turned down.

I call on You to immediately and unconditionally release Chow Hang-tung and drop all charges against her, as she has been charged solely for peacefully exercising her rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.

Thank you for Your attention in this very important matter, I am looking forward to Your reply and positive news about Chow Hang-tung.
.
Yours sincerely and respectfully,
