他們在宣誓後若拒絕遵守或輕忽誓言，便真有機會根據《宣誓及聲明條例》被取消資格了。
Under the Ordinance if they decline or neglect to abide by the oath after taking it they can really be disqualified
你看......不知現在是否有6位主席？
You see I wonder if there are six Chairpersons now
梁耀忠主席，你是最資深的議員，我一直很尊重你，希望你再次正式請那些議員返回座位，不要騷擾我們專心聆聽持不同意見議員的發言。
Can you do so? . Chairman LEUNG Yiu - chung you are the most senior Member and I have respected you all along . I hope that you will once again formally ask those Members to return to their seats and do not disturb us from listening attentively to the speeches of Members holding different views
根據《議事規則》第1條，剛才梁頌琦自己也讀出了，如議員未按照《宣誓及聲明條例》的規定作宗教式或非宗教式宣誓，不得參與立法會會議或表決。
According to RoP 1 which Mr LEUNG Chung - ki read it aloud just now no Member of the Council shall attend a meeting or vote therein until he has made or subscribed an oath or affirmation in accordance with the provisions of the Ordinance
但是，我覺得這些內容非常清楚，並無任何爭議。
However I think the provisions are very clear and there are no disputes whatsoever
姚松炎議員特別擔心，這會否犧牲消防安全的標準，我想說這絕不是我們希望提供酌情權的原意。
As Dr YIU Chung - yim is particularly concerned about whether fire safety standards will be compromised I would like to point out that this is by no means the original intent of our proposed discretionary powers
我相信修正案的精神一定都是協助舊樓的長者小業主，應對遵從消防安全法例的要求時遇到的困難。
I believe that the essence of all the amendments is to assist elderly minority property owners of old buildings in tackling the difficulties encountered when they seek to comply with the requirements under fire safety regulations
主席，我想跟局長說，今天的議案是帶着很多市民的期望。
President I would like to tell the Secretary that todays motion carries with it the expectations of many members of the public
剛才聽到局長的回應，我真的感到心酸，因為我看不到當局在思維上有所突破。
Having heard the response given by the Secretary just now I really feel sad because as far as I can see the authorities are not prepared to break away from their old mindset
我們喜歡多勞多得，只要肯努力，便可以利用自由經濟的空間，爭取努力向上爬的平等機會，謀求更大發展。
As long as we work hard we can take advantage of the free economic space available and strive for an equal opportunity to move upward and seek greater development
他們特別希望我們喚起對罕見疾病和昂貴藥物的關注。
They hope that we can draw the attention of society to rare diseases and expensive drugs
就長遠規劃而言，我認為今屆政府特別需要討論長者退休問題。
In respect of long - term planning I think the incumbent Government needs to discuss the retirement of the elderly in particular
我明白民政事務局負責文化事宜，但海濱規劃屬於發展和規劃範疇，還需要環境局配合。
I understand that the Home Affairs Bureau takes charge of cultural issues but harbourfront planning falls within the scope of development and planning with support from the Environment Bureau
我不會說不希望中環快速發展，我為中環的發展感到高興，但2008年很多人提出了規劃理念，到明年已是10年，我希望新一屆政府會聽到我們的聲音。
I will not say that I do not look forward to the speedy development of Central; I am delighted to see the development of Central . The problem is that by next year it will be 10 years since we put forward our planning proposal in 2008 . In this connection I hope that the new - term Government will listen to our voices
我經常向政府指出，亦公開表示，一旦展開立法諮詢時，整個社會會像政改時期般撕裂。
As I always pointed to the Government and indicate in public once consultation is conducted on the enactment of legislation society at large will be as divided as the time when constitutional reform was launched
我反而認同小組的建議，包括採取行政措施處理問題。
I instead agree to the proposal of the Advisory Group to among others adopt administrative measures to deal with the problems
相反，我收到一些個別個案，上司支持同性婚姻或同志運動，而下屬卻公開反對，下屬說自己在工作單位有壓力。
Instead I have received some special cases in which a superior supports same - sex marriage or gay rights movement but the subordinate objects saying that he is under pressure in the workplace
現時西九居民很希望我在此說出他們的心聲，所以我一定要說完這部分。
Today residents in West Kowloon earnestly hope that I will voice out their aspirations hence I must say a few words
我亦因此樂意加入消除歧視性小眾諮詢小組，並在小組內工作了兩年半。
For this reason I was pleased to join the Advisory Group on Eliminating Discrimination against Sexual Minorities in which I have worked for two and a half years
剛才劉小麗議員一直在罵人，指我發表意見是為了騙取選票。
Just now Dr LAU Siu - lai kept scolding people alleging that I had expressed my view with the aim of securing votes deceptively
就是為了要維持現狀，不影響大家的宗教信仰自由，當中所說的並非單指一種宗教，而是各大宗教也是這樣。
The purpose was to maintain the status quo without affecting our freedom of religious belief . The provision refers to not only one religion . Rather it applies to every religion
再者，據稱因為他經常堅持，希望平機會可採取更中立、公平、公正的態度來處這項甚具爭議的問題，故此受到歧視，最後差不多遭前平機會主席周一嶽排斥，因此要打官司。
Furthermore it is alleged that since he often insisted that EOC adopt a more neutral attitude with greater fairness and impartiality in dealing with this controversial issue he was subjected to discrimination and nearly ostracized by former EOC Chairperson York CHOW in the end . For this reason he brought the case to court . Come to think about this
但是，我自己認為我們在評論各政策局的表現時，應採取更客觀的標準。
In my opinion however we should adopt a more objective standard when we comment on the performance of various Policy Bureaux
此外，我很留心她的發言，她來來去去只喜歡用某些字眼，不是權貴、官商勾結，便是狼子之心，我們已聽過很多遍，但我們現正討論預算案的問題，她能否具體一點？
After all there are only certain expressions which she likes to use . If it is not the rich and powerful or collusion between the Government and the business sector it is the heart of a wolf . We have heard them many times
我們真的不應循這個方向，即使我們認為某些政策不好，也不要鼓勵市民衝擊法律，真的不要這樣，請做做好心。
Even if we think that a certain policy is not good we should not encourage members of the public to breach the law . We really should not do so . Please be merciful
性騷擾事宜由平機會處理，但大家看看大學的O camp發生的有關那兩個hall的性騷擾事件，真是嚇壞人，他們做出如此不文明的行為，更上載互聯網，好像不知羞耻般，我們看到很心痛，究竟中學和大學出現了甚麼問題？
Matters of sexual harassment are handled by EOC but let us look at the incidents of sexual harassment which took place during the orientation camps of those two halls in the universities . They behaved in such uncivilized manners and even uploaded the videos onto the Internet as though they felt no shame . Seeing it we felt heart - broken
我發覺我們有時候也要作出檢討。
I realize that sometimes we also need to conduct a review
法治精神一再受到衝擊，究竟市民有多了解《基本法》和"一國兩制"？
The spirit of the rule of law has been challenged repeatedly . How well do members of the public actually understand the Basic Law and one country two systems?
他們會否有很多誤解，以致發表了一些傷害"一國兩制"的言論？
Is it possible that they have a lot of misunderstandings thus causing them to make comments undermining one country two systems?
香港亦缺乏政治人才，這點我們是admit的，很多參政的人都是透過實踐慢慢學習。
Hong Kong also lacks political talents . We admit this . Many people participating in politics learn slowly through practice
香港在回歸前是非政治化的，一下子跳過來後，大家也看到，現時連法例也處理不到這些問題，所以立法會才會出現"拉布"、議員辭職等事件，因為當時制定法律時並無預計會有這些情況。
Before the reunification Hong Kong was apolitical . After the leap as we can see now these problems cannot be handled even by legislation . That is why such incidents as filibusters and resignations of Members happened in the Legislative Council since these situations were not expected when the laws were enacted
我們將來的政治領袖須帶領香港走向世界的前線。
Our future political leaders must lead Hong Kong to the forefront of the world
我希望......幾個政策局可以攜手想出方法......
I hope the several Policy Bureaux can join hands to work out a solution
代理主席，我謹此陳辭。
Deputy Chairman I so submit
委員察悉，張舉能法官自2001年起在司法機構服務，在司法機構及法律界均深受敬重。
Members have noted that Mr Justice Andrew CHEUNG has served in the Judiciary since 2001 and he commands respect within the Judiciary and from the legal profession
代理主席，有諺語說："當真相還在穿鞋時，謊言已走過半個地球了"。
Deputy President there is a proverb that says A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes
首先，情況並非如此；第二，即使我們已立法，我絕對相信若有合理抗辯的理由，亦可以保障我們的新聞自由，只要他們是盡責的傳媒。
Firstly that is not the case . Secondly even if we have enacted legislation I am absolutely convinced that our freedom of the press can be protected as long as those concerned are responsible media with reasonable grounds of defence
因此，立法並不會損害言論自由。
Therefore the legislation will not undermine freedom of speech
這些是赤裸裸地在香港發生，而我們不得不考慮香港......我們本地的情況，以及我們的公共利益、安全、安寧的問題。
When all these are happening in broad daylight in Hong Kong we have no alternative but to take into consideration Hong Kong our local situation as well as the issues around our public interest security and safety
我相信，修讀法律的人上過第一課後都知道，立法就是為了阻嚇社會上不受歡迎的行為，例如散播這類假消息，亦同時發揮一個教育的作用，即告訴大家如何才是符合社會期望、合理地行使言論自由。
I believe that anyone who has studied law should have learned from their first lesson that legislation not only seeks to deter unwelcome behaviour in society such as dissemination of such false information but also serves an educational purpose namely that of telling people how to exercise freedom of speech in a reasonable manner in line with social expectations
代理主席，最近有一名記者朋友告訴我，他的母親患上老人癡呆症，我看到他應付得十分吃力。
Deputy President a journalist friend of mine told me recently that his mother had developed dementia . I have noticed how exhausting it is for him to cope
我們花了10年努力，說得唇乾舌燥，終於成功爭取"2元全港搭"。
After 10 years of hard work and relentless lobbying we have finally succeeded in striving for 2 rides throughout Hong Kong
在他們當中，很多人本 身享有公司的醫療保障，自己亦有購買醫療保險。
Initially most of them could enjoy medical protection provided by their employers and they had also taken out medical insurance policies
因此，最重要的是plan early及早策劃個人如是，政府如是，社會亦如是。
In the light of all this I will say the most important of all is to plan early―this applies to individuals to the Government and also to society alike
我覺得一定要說文化藝術及真正中華文化五千年的故事。
Rather we should try to share the true stories about culture arts and our 5 000 years of Chinese culture
大家看看現時的民政事務局，該局管理康樂、文化、體育、青年、家庭、婦女、大廈、物業的調解，當時都是民政事務局局長來回答我的一項議案，連發牌都是由他負責，他根本沒可能兼顧那麼多。
Take the Home Affairs Bureau as an example . Its portfolio includes recreation culture sports youth family women affairs building management mediation of property disputes and the public officer who spoke in reply to my motion back then was the Secretary for Home Affairs who is even responsible for licensing matters and it is simply impossible for him to attend to so many duties
也要透過軟性的說故事，令到香港人，特別是新一代，熱愛自己的文化，熱愛香港文化的同時，更重要的是了解我們中華文化五千年及我們的根。
Besides we should adopt a soft approach by conducting storytelling activities to foster love among Hong Kong people for their own culture and while developing their affection for the culture of Hong Kong a more important area of work is to promote their understanding of our 5 000 years of Chinese culture and our cultural root
主席，獨立檢視當然是無法"止咳"。
President the independent examination is definitely not an effective prescription to the present problems
我想問的是，即使香港能夠盡快宣布邀請有公信力人士擔任小組成員，政府能否好像當年英國政府一樣，承諾在小組展開獨立的工作之後，政府官員會答應全面配合小組的工作呢？
My question is here . If Hong Kong can make an early announcement to invite persons of credibility to sit on the panel will the Government follow the practice of the United Kingdom at that time and undertake to offer support to the panel upon the commencement of its independent work so that government officials will promise to render full support to the panel?
我剛才已作出特別安排，讓梁君彥議員向大家和社會大眾作出澄清及交代，至於他的答覆能否回應你剛才的提問，我並不能夠提出任何意見。
I have already made a special arrangement for Mr Andrew LEUNG to clarify and give an account to Members and the general public . As regards whether his replies can answer your question I am not in any position to give any comment
如果你不影響大家的投票程序，我是不會阻止你的。
I will not stop you if you do not impede the voting procedure
其實，我也無權確定你們是否有權投票。
In fact I also do not have the power to ascertain your right to vote
我剛才只是依書直說，向大家引述《基本法》的內容，並沒有加入個人意見。
Just now I was only citing the contents of the Basic Law directly for Members reference without making any personal comments
我已說了，我的決定可以是錯或對，但無論如何，我今天不會跟你爭論。
As I said my decision can be right or wrong . But no matter what I will not argue with you today
游蕙禎議員是否還打算發言？
Miss YAU Wai - ching do you still wish to speak?
當我知道後，我嘗試安排一個特別場合讓梁君彥議員在會議廳外跟新聞傳媒交代，同時亦向其他議員交代，希望大家對這個問題可進一步了解。
When I learnt about this situation I made a special arrangement for Mr Andrew LEUNG to give an account of his nationality issue to the media and other Members outside the Chamber in the hope of enabling the public to have a clearer picture
昨天非常好，大家都非常合作，令我可以順利主持特別論壇，而今天主持這個會議，是正式的立法會會議，正式立法會會議一定有很多規限，包括《議事規則》和程序等。
It is my first time to preside at meetings held yesterday and today . Yesterdays special forum was smoothly held as all Members were very cooperative . As for todays meeting since it is a formal Legislative Council meeting there are many rules and regulations including the Rules of Procedure RoP and other procedural rules
因為，在相同制度下更換新特首，他也仍然會偏重建制和大財團的利益，成為一個傀儡，而不會真正考慮社會實際情況，關心我們一直關心的房屋、民生和勞工等問題。
It is because if the system is not changed anyone holding the office of the top post will merely become a puppet favouring the establishment and the consortiums without truly considering the actual situation in society or caring about problems concerning housing the peoples livelihood and labour and so on
主席，首先，今天我會針對第116至120項修正案，即總目139下的分目000發言。
Chairman first of all I will focus my speech today on Amendment Nos . 116 to 120 which concern subhead 000 of head 139 . Amendment Nos
人口老化令公營醫療服務的需求大增，急症室和專科的平均輪候時間亦不斷增加。
The ageing population has greatly boosted the demand for public health care services . The average waiting times for accident and emergency AE services and specialist clinic services have become longer and longer
醫院管理局表示，已經預留2億6,700萬元，增設229張病床。
The Hospital Authority HA says that it has already reserved 267 million for the addition of 229 hospital beds
但是，政府覺得要救迪士尼樂園而無須救市民。
But the Government thinks that it must save the Disneyland rather than people
面對如此嚴峻的醫療問題，我們的醫療開支又怎樣呢？
How about our health care expenditure in the midst of these acute problems with the health care system?
第116和117項修正案由陳志全議員及劉小麗議員提出，動議削減食物及衞生局局長的薪酬開支；第118和119項修正案由劉小麗議員提出，分別動議削減食物及衞生局副局長和政治助理的1個月薪酬開支；第120項修正案則由陳志全議員提出，動議削減醫療規劃及發展統籌處處長的全年薪酬開支。
118 and 119 proposed by Dr LAU Siu - lai seek to cut the expenditure for the one - month emolument of the Under Secretary for Food and Health and the Political Assistant respectively . Amendment No . 120 which is proposed by Mr CHAN Chi - chuen seeks to cut the expenditure for the annual emolument of Head
我們目前無法得知鄧女士的醫療事故與資源不足有否直接關係，但無論如何，我覺得接連發生的事故，已對醫療制度響起了警號。
We cannot know at this stage whether the medical incident involving Ms TANG was directly related to insufficient resources . But I think the series of medical incidents have already sounded the alarm for the health care system
其實，錢本身已經不多，一年只得500多億元，但醫管局沒有好好分配，令資源未能用得其所。
Actually the money available is already not that much standing at some 50 billion a year only . But HA still fails to apportion the money properly making the resources unable to be used in the right places
對於這5項修正案，我全部支持，理由很簡單，因為香港的醫療制度問題多多。
I support all the five amendments . The reason is simple . The health care system in Hong Kong is plagued with problems
新界西聯網對公營醫療的需求甚大，當然，我們知道這不是一時三刻就能解決得了的問題。
There is a heavy demand for public health care services in the New Territory West Cluster . We certainly know that this problem cannot be solved overnight
只得8小時，其餘時間怎麼辦？
Only eight hours . How about the rest of the time?
因此，我覺得加價或推出醫療券，並不能解決問題，只是將問題倒置。
I thus think that increasing the AE fee or providing Elderly Health Care Vouchers cannot possibly solve the problem . Doing so will only put the cart before the horse
最遺憾的是，我曾致函局長、副局長和醫管局同事，問他們可否與病人組織會面，解決《藥物名冊》的問題？
I once wrote to the Secretary the Under Secretary and HA officials asking them whether they would have a meeting with patient groups on tackling the problems with the Drug Formulary
我曾告訴副局長：與病人見面、聽一聽他們的心聲，可能也是一種治療，可以幫助他們紓緩一下壓力，令他們覺得政府是關心他們的。
I once said to the Under Secretary that seeing such patients and listening to their feelings could be a form of treatment that can help ease their stress and make them feel that the Government cares about them
為何政府連這件事也不肯做呢？
Why does the Government even refuse to do such a simple thing?
在公屋方面很可惜是停滯不前，很多市民仍在等待"上樓"，不斷在等待，等了數年又要等數年。
The production of PRH units on the other hand is stagnant . Many people are still waiting on and on and several years after several years
對我們來說，究竟住屋是否奢侈的東西，還是我們的基本權利呢？
Should housing be treated as a luxury to us? . Or should it be upheld as one of our basic entitlements?
對於這項修正案，我是完全支持，理由很簡單，因為過去數年房屋政策可說是"一鑊泡"，住屋已成為香港市民最重要的民生問題。
I fully support this amendment simply because the housing policy in the past few years was in a mess . Housing has come to be regarded as the gravest livelihood concern in Hong Kong
收入達本地入息中位數的家庭，要不飲不食35年才能購置1個單位。
Here even a median - income family must stop spending any money on food for 35 whole years if it wants to buy a housing unit
所以，我們覺得焦點不應在買樓，而仍然應該放在增加公屋的供應方面，幫助一些買不起樓，不能"上車"的居民，讓他們有真正的安樂窩。
We therefore think that instead of putting the focus on promoting home ownership the Government should concentrate on increasing the supply of PRH units so as to enable people who cannot afford private properties to have a decent place to live in . Increasing the supply of PRH units can resolve the housing problem and also work as the best way to reverse the current supply - demand imbalance and curb prices of private residential properties
梁振英口中"重中之重"的房屋政策，他曾說過"3年上樓"，也曾說過"港人港地"，這些政策對我們來說只是"得個聽字"，而他亦只是"得個說字"，給我們的感覺是完全無法實現的，全是廢話。
LEUNG Chun - ying says that the housing issue is his top priority . We have heard him talk about a three - years wait for public rental housing PRH and Hong Kong property for Hong Kong residents . However all we can receive so far are just his words and all he has done is just giving lip service
過去數年，沒有一件事可以達標，我們看到的是私人樓宇越建越多，不過卻越賣越貴。
To us his words are never fulfilled mere nonsense . Over the past few years he has never achieved any targets . We can see that increasing quantities of private residential units are put on the market but prices also keep soaring
除了最低工資之外，一般"打工仔女"希望每年能夠有合理水平的加薪，令生活水平能夠追上物價，但很可惜，我們沒有集體談判權。
Minimum wage aside ordinary wage earners hope that there will be reasonable levels of wage increase every year to keep up with commodity prices so that they can maintain their standard of living
對於打工一族而言，有何福利可言？
What employee benefits are we talking about for wage earners?
他們表示曾爭取，只是在勞工顧問委員會內無法達成共識，所以很多安排維持不變。
They claim that they have done so only that no consensus can be reached in the Labour Advisory Board LAB and hence many arrangements have remained unchanged
我剛才列舉的例子，資方全部表示反對，認為不應該放寬或改善。
In all the cases I have just referred to employers have invariably opposed all proposals to make relaxations or improvements
相反，勞顧會不停拖我們後腿，阻礙我們前進，阻礙多項事宜的改善。
On the contrary LAB constantly holds us back hindering our progress and the rectification of various problems
我先說前一部分，即"逐步為勞動人口謀求更多的福利"。
I will first speak on to enhance the well - being of our workforce progressively
港珠澳大橋至今已引致10名工友死亡，受傷人數超過600多人，這些數字真的很多。
So far 10 workers died and 600 injured in this project the figures are truly astonishing
預算案以"撐企業、保就業、穩經濟、利民生"作為大方向，聽起來不錯，但縱觀整份預算案，我只看到"撐企業"和"穩經濟"，卻看不見"保就業"和"利民生"。
It sounds quite pleasant that the Budget is prepared along the direction of supporting enterprises safeguarding jobs stabilizing the economy strengthening livelihoods . But in the entire Budget I can only see supporting enterprises and stabilizing the economy rather than safeguarding jobs and strengthening livelihoods
事實上，房屋、醫療和人口老化問題也不是現時才出現，而是出現了很長時間，但很可惜，橫跨了數屆政府，這些問題至今仍然沒有太大改善，問題更是越趨惡化。
As a matter of fact the problems of housing health care and ageing population do not only emerge today but have been here for a very long time . It is however very unfortunate that after a few terms of the Government there is still not much improvement to these problems and they are even getting worse
一如既往，這份預算案側重財團和忽視基層，繼續抱殘守缺，沿襲過去缺乏長遠規劃的思維，無助於改善貧富懸殊的問題。
Just like the previous budgets this Budget is also lopsided towards conglomerates in negligence of the grass roots . It continues to stick to the old rut and follow the old mindset which is in lack of long - term planning and this will not help redress the wealth gap problem
試想一想，有4萬個輪候個案，卻只增加500個宿位，如何解決問題呢？
Let us think about it . When there are over 40 000 cases on the waiting list but only 500 additional RCHE places will be provided how can the problem be resolved?
對於勞工方面，政府口口聲聲要"保就業"，以此為重點，但很可惜，預算案隻字不提取消強積金對沖安排和進展，也沒有提過"打工仔女"的退休問題。
On the labour front the Government has reiterated the need of safeguarding jobs and taken it as a major direction . But regrettably the Budget neither mentions about the abolition of the offsetting arrangement of Mandatory Provident Fund contributions and the progress concerned nor the retirement problem of the working population
此外，公屋輪候冊上有超過26萬個家庭正在輪候，而一般輪候時間長達5.5年，我們看到的是市民上樓仍然遙遙無期。
Besides over 260 000 households are now on the Waiting List for public rental housing and the general waiting time is as long as 5.5 years . We see that the applicants still have to wait for ages before they can be allocated with any housing units
同時，我們認為政府一直以來不敢向權貴開刀，不單沒有收回發展商在新界囤積過千公頃的荒廢用地，亦不肯收回以賤價出租的粉嶺高爾夫球場，而每年以數百億元計的賣地收入，則用來興建"大白象"工程。
Besides we think that as always the Government dare not offend the rich and the bigwigs . Not only does it refuse to resume over 1 000 hectares of abandoned land in the New Territories hoarded by developers but it is also unwilling to get back the golf course in Fanling being rented at a very low price . Instead it uses tens of billions of dollars each year for the white elephant projects
可是，在受經濟影響下生活的基層市民受到甚麼保障呢？
However what kind of protection will the grass roots living under the economic impact obtain?
至於安老政策，在整份預算案中只佔很少段落，可見政府多麼沒有誠意面對人口老化的問題。
Given that only a few paragraphs in the entire Budget are about elderly care policy we can see how insincere the Government is when dealing with the problem of ageing population
事實上，此方面可說是毫無建樹。
In fact the Budget is not in the least constructive in this aspect
原因是施政報告提到會加強社區照顧服務，但預算案提出的，是例如增加300個資助長者日間護理服務名額，提供上門照顧和支援長者服務等，但這些措施是否真的能夠照顧社區目前的需要呢？
It is because the Policy Address says that community care services will be enhanced whereas the Budget only proposes such measures like increasing 300 subsidized day care places for the elderly providing home care and elderly supporting services . But can these measures genuinely meet the needs of the existing community?
主席，當天有數以萬計的示威者佔領港島街道，要求特區政府撤回《逃犯條例》的修訂，但警方以一小撮人行使暴力為由，對大多數的和平示威者使用不必要和過度的武力。
President tens of thousands of protesters occupied the streets on Hong Kong Island on that day to demand that the SAR Government withdraw the proposed amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance . However the Police used the violent acts of a small minority as a pretext to employ unnecessary and excessive force against the vast majority of peaceful protesters
這些令人嚴重受傷的武器，竟然被用來對付和平示威者，實在令人感到非常荒謬和無理。
I find it absolutely absurd and groundless that such weapons capable of serious injury were directed at peaceful protesters
在8月時，聯合國人權理事會已表明有十分可信的證據，證明香港執法人員使用低致命武器時違反國際標準及規範，例如在不同場合向人群及直接向個別示威者施放催淚彈，對他們造成嚴重傷害。
In August the United Nations Human Rights Council claimed to have extremely credible evidence of Hong Kongs law enforcement officials employing less lethal weapons in ways that are prohibited by international norms and standards such as firing tear gas canisters into crowds and directly at individual protesters on multiple occasions causing serious injury
當中更有女示威者已明顯受傷倒地，但警員仍然瘋狂追打她。
Among them was a female protester being chased and beaten crazily by police officers after she had been injured and tumbled over
不過，李家超局長剛才竟然說政府沒有說過暴動。
But then Secretary John LEE said just now that the Government has never used the term riot
主席，政府應否還當時參與和平集會的市民一個公道，向他們道歉，向他們表示警方當時不應該胡亂發射催淚彈？
President should the Government do justice to the participants of the peaceful assembly apologize to them and tell them that the Police should not have wantonly fired tear gas canisters?
依我們所知，根據《聯合國執法人員使用武力和火器的基本原則》，只有在非暴力手段無效或不太可能有效阻止群眾行使暴力時，執法人員才能使用武力。
According to the United Nations Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials law enforcement officials can use force only if non - violent means remain ineffective or are unlikely to be effective to stop people engaging in violence
主席，半年過去，警方濫用暴力的情況更有過之而無不及。
President six months have passed but the Polices abuse of violence has continued if not intensified
當晚8時多，特首"林鄭"發表電視講話，強烈譴責有人發動暴動，認為行動破壞社會安寧。
In a televised speech at around 8col00 pm that evening Chief Executive Carrie LAM strongly condemned those who instigated the riot and said their actions had disrupted the peace of society
