PRESS RELEASE: HK June 15 Rally to Support Edward Snowden

supportsnowden.org

Edward Snowden, the whistleblower behind the

NSA internet and phonesurveillance 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 oflaw? 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.

Rally preparation: Please bring your friends, prepare

for rain and try to bring water resistant posters. Slogan

suggestions: "Defend Free Speech, Protect Snowden",

"No Extradition", "Respect Hong Kong Law", "Shame on

NSA", "Stop Internet Surveillance", "Betray Snowden =

Betray Freedom".

Legislative Council, Ip lam Chong, In-Media HK; Claudia
