《共匪暴政亂世少恥廉 義士戮力而赴誓不休》
香港大學學生會聯舍宿生會/學生會及香港大學康寧堂學生會就設立香港國家安全法之聲明
《基本法》、《中英聯合聲明》清楚訂明香港應享有高度自治，立法權及獨立的司法權，以及各項如：集會、言論、結社等自由。然而，自去年反修例運動開始，港人的權利及自由一再受到踐踏，港共政權對港人的壓迫從未停止。重提就《基本法》第二十三條立法，其醜惡用心昭然若揭。共匪近日以不同手段對港人步步進逼：就文憑試歷史科試題大作文章，令其爪牙染指教育，圖箝制思想；於武漢肺炎疫情導致民不聊生之際，令其鷹犬於立法會內會篡取主席之位，務求使國歌法能通過二讀，向中共政權獻媚，製造白色恐怖。然而，共匪狼子野心不息，於五月二十二日開始的全國人民代表大會第三次會議上審議《全國人民代表大會關於建立健全香港特別行政區維護國家安全的法律制度和執行機制的決定（草案）》的議案（下稱《國安法》）。視基本法憲制責任如無物，擴展極權統治，限制港人自由，意圖令社會噤若寒蟬。
根據《基本法》第十八條，列於附件三之法律，由香港特別行政區在當地公佈或立法實施，而僅限於有關國防、外交和其他按《基本法》規定不屬於香港特區自治範圍的法律。然而，是次共匪針對香港單獨立法，繞過本地立法程序，明目張膽搶奪香港的立法權。所謂《國安法》，不過是痴人說夢、自欺欺人，將香港推向「一國一制」深淵的惡法。面對港人在過往一年的抗爭，向國際展示香港人爭取自由民主的決心，共匪惶惶不可終日，深恐人民終將推翻暴政。多年而來，港共政權都試圖就《基本法》二十三條立法，但港人盡皆以行動反抗政權。是次惡法訂明制止「任何分裂國家、顛覆國家政權、組織實施恐怖活動及外國和境外勢力干預香港特別行政區事務的活動」，與《基本法》第二十三條的目的明顯重疊，共匪險惡用意不言而喻。妄想通過此惡法，令港人噤聲，重掌大權。
面對共匪此等不義暴政，英、美，以致歐盟皆發表聲明指責中共政府違反《中英聯合聲明》，踐踏一國兩制。美國更明言，一但共匪強推惡法，將會重新評估香港的特殊地位。共匪之舉，世人皆對其口誅筆伐，但其爪牙仍一意孤行，堅稱立法能保香港社會穩定，意圖粉飾太平。而港共政權尸位素餐，對中共政權侵害一國兩制視若無睹，與中共沆瀣一氣，背棄港人，恬不知恥。香港大學學生會聯舍宿生會/學生會及香港大學康寧堂學生會在此予以強烈譴責。
共匪自以為他們的所作所為，能使我城人民歸順投降。然而，這一切不過是共匪一廂情願，錯判事實。經歷一年抗爭，義士拋頭顱、灑熱血，我城人民信念之強大，決非共匪此等厚顏無恥、宵小之徒所能動搖。
縱使未來革命之路定必崎嶇難行，我城人民定當戮力同心，上下求索，抱持「光復香港」志向，決不向暴政低頭，誓要與其抗爭到底。風雨飄搖，兄弟爬山，或會選取不同路線踽踽獨行。但只要眾人皆有著同一目標，守望相助，黑夜終會過去，民主自由的黎明總會到來。
我等皆為與眾人並肩的香港兒女，我們將堅守信念，與港共政權奮鬥到底，誓不罷休。
一息尚存，抗爭到底。
五大訴求，缺一不可。
光復香港，時代革命。

“Against the Tyranny: Together We Stand and Onwards We Fight”
Joint Statement by the Hall/College Students' Associations of HKUSU and Hornell Hall Students' Association, HKU
In response to the Hong Kong National Security Bill
The Basic Law and the Sino-British Joint Declaration pledged unequivocally that Hong Kong is entitled to a high degree of autonomy, legislative power and an independent judiciary; amongst other rights that Hongkongers are entitled such as the freedom of speech and of assembly. Since the Anti-Extradition Bill Movement last year, it is evident that our rights and freedoms are being eroded by the continuous crackdowns from the authoritarian and infamous Hong Kong government. The corrupt ulterior motive behind the reintroduction of the implementation bill of Article 23 of the Basic Law is abundant enough to see. The Government has been pushing the boundaries of what us, as Hongkongers, understand as our rights and freedoms. For instance, the HKDSE History paper controversy is exemplary of the Government’s encroachment on our education system to clamp down on the freedom of thought and brainwash our future generation. Against the backdrop of the dire societal situation caused by the Wuhan Coronavirus pandemic, the regime instigated a coup d’etat of the chairmanship in the Legislative Council House Committee with the sole purpose of passing the draconian National Anthem Bill despite fierce opposition from Hongkongers. Nevertheless, the regime has yet to cease its oppression to achieve its wild ambition for power. The National Security Law for Hong Kong, to be examined during the third meeting of the National People’s Congress starting from 22 May 2020, undermines the rule of law in Hong Kong, tightens Beijing’s control over Hong Kong and imposes a white terror on the liberty of fellow Hongkongers.
According to Article 18 of the Basic law, any law listed to be implemented through Annex III should be confined to those related to defence and foreign affairs as well as other matters outside the limits of the autonomy of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as specified by the Law. However, the authoritarian Chinese regime chose to bypass the Legislative Council and forcefully implement the National Security Law for Hong Kong, a flagrant intrusion into Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy, in particular, legislative autonomy. Any façade that the regime puts up does not take away from the fact that this draconian Act is the last straw Hong Kong in the abyss of “One Country, One System”. Over the past year, Hongkongers have demonstrated our utmost determination in fighting for freedom and democracy whatever the cost may be. The authoritarian regime is in a constant state of anxiety that one day Hongkongers will successfully overthrow their rule. As a result, the regime has repeatedly brought back Article 23 legislation, failing to the determination of Hongkongers to fight back. The current National Security Law for Hong Kong has a high degree of similarity with Article 23, which enacts laws to prohibit any act of treason, secession, sedition, and subversion against the Central People’s Government, or theft of state secrets, and to prohibit foreign political organizations or bodies from conducting political activities in the Region. The regime’s perilous intention to tighten its control over Hong Kong by silencing the voice of Hongkongers cannot be hidden away under sheep’s clothing.
Against the tyranny of the Chinese government, the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom and the European Union have issued statements accusing the Chinese government of their blatant violation and disregard of the Sino-British Joint Declaration and destruction of ‘One Country, Two Systems’. The United States went further to consider a reassessment of Hong Kong’s special international position should the National Security Law for Hong Kong be passed. Despite the international condemnation, the Chinese government continues to push for the passage of the National Security Law, dressing it up as a law that ensures social stability in Hong Kong, while avoiding accusations of the illegitimacy behind the National Security Law. Upon this critical moment, the Hong Kong government, as vassalage of the Chinese regime, betrayed Hongkongers and took part in dismantling Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy and uprooting ‘One Country, Two Systems’. The Hall/College Students’ Association of the Hong Kong University Students’ Union and Hornell Hall Students’ Association of The University of Hong Kong strongly condemns the Hong Kong government for its blatant abandonment of Hongkongers in this critical moment of life-or-death for Hong Kong.
The Chinese regime assumed that their oppression could silence Hongkongers into submission. Unfortunately for them, they have misread the reality of the situation. After a year of resisting against the brutality of the Hong Kong government, our determination has never been stronger and our hearts have never been more passionate to fight for our freedom. The Chinese regime and the Hong Kong government can never kill us all.
Although the road to freedom is tough and will bring more bloodshed. We, as Hongkongers, stand united with our valour and wisdom in the countless battles ahead against tyranny. We, as Hongkongers, never surrender as it is better to die on our feet than to live on our knees against the authoritarian regime. We, as Hongkongers, will continue our fight for freedom and democracy whatever the cost may be. In this raging storm, we are brothers and sisters regardless of the separate roads we decide to take. As long as our hearts and minds stay united, even the darkest night will pass, and the dawn of liberation and glory for Hong Kong will arrive.
Regardless of our differences, we are, first and foremost, freedom-loving Hongkongers. We are on the frontlines of the battle for our freedom, we pledge our utmost faith and determination to march onward with the revolution. Glory be to thee, Hong Kong.
Je me révolte, donc nous sommes.
Five Demands, Not One Less.
Liberate Hong Kong, the Revolution of Our Times.
