新加坡和美國，與香港同樣實施普通法，他們有對可移交的罪種作出刪減，香港與內地分別奉行普通法和大陸法，是否有必要或急於包括全部46種罪類？
As Singapore and the United States which practise common law as in the case of Hong Kong have excluded certain extraditable offences why is it necessary to include all 46 items of offences hastily in the agreement between Hong Kong and the Mainland which practises common law and civil law respectively?
香港政府聽到社會的意見後，昨天宣布調整修例建議，將9項有關公司、證券、稅務、破產、知識產權、環保和非法使用電腦等罪類剔除，並且訂明只有在香港最高可判監3年或以上的罪行才可申請引渡疑犯，可能是要照顧到實際情況，有助釋除部分香港市民和海外人士的疑慮，亦沒有違反針對嚴重罪行的大原則，這些是可以理解的。
After taking into account the publics views the Hong Kong Government announced yesterday that it would adjust the proposed amendments by excluding nine items of offences relating to companies securities taxes and duties bankruptcy intellectual property environmental protection and unlawful use of computers . It also stipulates that surrender arrangements may only be applied for offences punishable with at least three years imprisonment in Hong Kong . The proposed amendments have taken into account the practical situation and allayed the worries of certain local and overseas people while the major principle of targeting serious offences has not been violated
對於有人質疑，縱使香港通過修例，台灣當局亦未必願意接納，大家不要忘記，觸發今次修例的行李箱藏屍案件，是由台灣方面主動提出引渡要求，即使台灣現屆政府基於某種政治理由而放棄引渡，也不排除下一屆台灣政府會有不同的做法。
Some people query that the Taiwan authorities may not be willing to accept the legislative amendments even if they are passed in Hong Kong . However we must not forget that the current legislative amendment exercise is triggered by the homicide case involving a dead body being stuffed in a suitcase and the Taiwan authorities took the initiative to request the extradition of the suspect . Even if the incumbent Taiwan Government forsakes the extradition request owing to certain political considerations we cannot rule out that the Taiwan Government of the next term will take a different approach
但是，香港一天不修訂，有關的引渡安排便一天不能啟動。
However if Hong Kong does not amend the legislation no extradition arrangement can be activated
最後，我要問一問，我們是否希望香港繼續成為內地所說的逃犯天堂，以及嚴重罪犯的避風塘？
Finally I must ask Do we want to see Hong Kong continue to be a haven for fugitives and a shelter for offenders of serious crimes as described by the Mainland?
代理主席，我謹此陳辭，反對原議案和各項修正案。
With these remarks Deputy President I oppose the original motion and all amendments
代理主席，對於楊岳橋議員提出這項"要求政府擱置設立中港移交逃犯安排"的議案，我認為他有點借題發揮、無限放大及無限誇大，將修例說成會破壞"一國兩制"，我實在看不到有甚麼道理不反對這項議案。
Deputy President regarding the motion on Requesting the Government to shelve the formulation of arrangements for the surrender of fugitive offenders SFO between Mainland China and Hong Kong proposed by Mr Alvin YEUNG I am of the view that he has in a sense made an issue of the legislative amendments and blown them out of proportion infinitely by claiming that they will undermine one country two systems . I really cannot see any reason not to oppose the motion
修例的目的，是為了堵塞現時法例的漏洞，以防香港因為未有跟其他國家或地方簽署逃犯移交協定，而淪為逃犯天堂或罪惡之城。
The legislative amendments aim to plug the loophole in the existing legislation in order to prevent Hong Kong from relegating to a haven for fugitives or a city of crime due to the absence of SFO agreements between Hong Kong and other countries
政府現時提出的修訂，不單包括殺人放火等嚴重刑事罪行，還包括其他商業罪行，涉及共46項罪行類別。
The amendments currently proposed by the Government involve 46 items of offences which include not only such serious criminal crimes as murder and arson but also other commercial offences
因此，不少市民和商界人士憂慮，日後會因無心之失踩界，或因內地審訊程序不公而誤中地雷，陷入有理說不清的局面。
Hence many members of the public and members of the business sector are worried that they may land in a situation where they cannot defend themselves clearly in unfair Mainland trial after they unintentionally step out of line or inadvertently breach the law in future
同時，有人可能利用現時比較明確的規限，追究以往法例不清晰的地方。
Meanwhile some people may also make use of the clearer regulations at present to pursue responsibilities for ambiguities in the previous legislation
我也留意到，已跟香港簽署逃犯移交協定的20個國家之中，並非46項所謂的嚴重罪類都全盤適用。
I have also noticed that under the SFO agreements signed between Hong Kong and 20 countries not all the 46 items of so - called serious offences are applicable
以新加坡為例，除了破產相關的罪行外，其他多項商業罪行，包括證券及期貨交易的罪行，都不包括在內；而香港與加拿大和英國簽訂的協定同樣不包括證券及期貨交易的罪行。
Take our SFO agreement with Singapore as an example . With the exception of bankruptcy - related offences many other commercial offences including offences relating to securities and futures trading have not been included . Similarly offences relating to securities and futures trading have been excluded from our agreements with Canada and the United Kingdom
所以，我歡迎政府在聆聽社會上不同的聲音後從善如流，剔除了9項罪行類別，包括與稅務相關、轉移資產、證券及期貨相關，甚至是非法使用電腦等罪行，並提高了個案方式移交的門檻，排除一些輕微罪行，令公眾得到更大保障，在相當程度上減輕了大家的擔憂。
Therefore I welcome the Governments willingness to take good advice on board after listening to various views in the community . By removing nine items of offences including offences relating to taxes transfer of funds and securities and futures trading and even offences involving the unlawful use of computers and by raising the threshold for case - based surrender by excluding some minor offences the Government has provided the public with better safeguards and allayed their concerns to a considerable extent
最重要的是，我們要對香港一直引以為傲的司法制度有信心。
Most importantly we should have confidence in Hong Kongs judicial system which we have all along taken pride in
即使特首同意啟動引渡機制，仍有法院擔當把關角色，而不是像泛民所說的中門大開和沒有任何保障。
Even if the Chief Executive has agreed to activate the extradition mechanism the court can still perform the gatekeeping role contrary to what the pan - democrats have described as Hong Kong leaving the door wide open without any protection
但我仍希望政府稍後在有關法案呈交立法會審議時，細心聆聽大家對其餘37類罪類的意見，繼續作出合理的調整，或作更清晰的說明，令大家更加放心。
That said when the Bill is introduced to the Legislative Council for scrutiny later I still hope that the Government will carefully listen to our views on the remaining 37 items of offences and continue to make reasonable adjustments or give clearer explanation so as to better reassure the public
面對影響香港市民，甚至是往來本港的各國人士的人權的法例修訂，我們能與政府交流的空間十分不足，這種安排實在非常差勁。
In the face of the legislative amendments affecting the human rights of Hong Kong people and people travelling between Hong Kong and various countries there is very little room for us to have communication with the Government which is a really poor arrangement
因此，我感謝楊岳橋議員提出這項議案辯論，讓我們表達市民的憂慮。
Therefore I am grateful to Mr Alvin YEUNG for proposing this motion debate allowing us to convey the publics worries
主席，這次爭議源於去年年初發生的港人在台灣殺人後潛逃回港的事件。
President the controversies stemmed from the incident early last year where a person from Hong Kong fled back to Hong Kong after murdering someone in Taiwan
正當我們以為特區政府過去一年一直努力與台灣當局商討如何將兇手繩之於法的時候，修例建議卻造成更多的漏洞和帶來憂慮。
While we thought that the SAR Government had been working hard last year to discuss with the Taiwan authorities how to bring the murderer to justice the proposed legislative amendments created more loopholes and aroused worries
雖然政府回應了商界的要求，剔除8項經濟罪類，但對於法律界及公民社會以至整個社會對移交逃犯安排的憂慮，政府至今仍未作出回應。
Although the Government responded to the demands of the business community and excluded eight items of economic offences the Government has yet to respond to the concerns of the legal profession the civil society and our society as a whole about the surrender arrangement for fugitive offenders
主席，不論從人權還是商業角度來看，大家最關心的是，嫌疑人被移送後能否享有公平審訊，包括是否由獨立於政府的司法機關負責審訊、他是否有權自行聘請律師、有關審訊是否公開透明、他有否申請保釋的權利等，都是我們衡量一個地方是否擁有公平審訊機制的準則。
President whether from a human rights or a commercial point of view the grave concern is whether a suspect can be given a fair trial after being surrendered including whether he will be tried by a judicial body independent of the Government whether he will have the right to hire a lawyer whether the trail will be open and transparent and whether he has the right to apply for bail etc . These are the criteria for us to measure whether a certain place has a fair trial mechanism
讓我舉出一個具體例子，內地維權律師王全璋在2015年被捕後 杳無音訊，過了3年零8個月才出庭受審，他曾聘請的律師不是被威迫退出，就是被捕。
Let me give a concrete example . After the arrest of the Mainland human rights lawyer WANG Quanzhang in 2015 nothing was heard about him and he only appeared in court for trial three years and eight months later . The lawyers he hired were either forced to withdraw or arrested and at the time of the official trial he was tried behind closed doors on the grounds that state secrets were involved
到了正式開庭的時候，又以"涉及國家秘密"為由進行閉門審訊，他最終在今年1月被判顛覆國家政權罪，判監4年半。
He was finally sentenced to four and a half years of imprisonment in January this year because he committed the offence of subversion of state power
王全璋律師在庭上是否有充足機會答辯，控方所提的證供又是否合理，公眾完全無從得知。
The public was completely unaware of whether WANG Quanzhang had sufficient opportunity of defence in court and whether the evidence provided by the prosecution was reasonable
主席，政府表示，凡涉及政治性質的罪行因政治意見而蒙受不利或被檢控或懲罰者，不會被引渡至內地。
President the Government stated that anyone who is involved in offences of a political character and is being prejudiced prosecuted or punished on account of his political opinions will not be extradited to the Mainland
讓我們看看另一些例子，艾未未在2001年被指逃稅被罰款25萬元、2015年香港禁書出版人姚文田被指"走私普通貨物罪"被判監10年。
Let us consider some other examples . AI Weiwei was fined RMB250,000 in 2001 for tax evasion . In 2015 YAO Wentian a publisher of banned books in Hong Kong was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for smuggling ordinary goods
他們不是被內地當局以政治理由檢控，但公眾普遍深信，這些都是政治檢控。
Even though they were not prosecuted by the Mainland authorities for political reasons the public are generally convinced that these are political prosecutions
政府又可能搬出第二個理由，實際上已經搬出這個理由，就是法庭會把關。
The Government may present the second reason―it has actually presented this reason ie . the court will play a gatekeepers role
正如吳靄儀女士早前表示，這個說法有誤導作用，所謂"把關"，法庭只是檢視由要求引渡一方發出的文書是否資料齊備，包括當事人所犯何事、有何證據、有否正式簽署的公文，以及特首簽署的授權進行書。
As Dr Margaret NG said earlier this was a misleading statement . In playing the so - called gatekeepers role the court only examines whether the documents issued by the party requesting extradition are complete including the acts committed by the parties and the evidence and whether there are officially signed documents and an authority to proceed signed by the Chief Executive
如果引渡要求沒有違反五大原則，而文件的資料正確，法庭就要給予批准，並無權自行審議被要求引渡的嫌疑人是否犯了要求方提述的罪行或該等證據是否充分。
If the extradition request has not violated the five principles and the information in the documents is correct the court has to grant the request and it does not have the right to consider on its own whether the suspects requested to be extradited have committed the offences referred to by the requesting party or whether the evidence is sufficient
因此，我懇請政府不要將政治責任推卸到司法機關，令他們承受不必要壓力，或要求他們做一些他們做不來的事情。
Therefore I urge the Government not to shirk political responsibilities onto the Judiciary putting them under unnecessary pressure or requiring them to do something that they cannot do
主席，這項法例修訂源自一宗台灣殺人案。可是，台灣方面感到疑慮，甚至抗拒。
President though the legislative amendments stemmed from a Taiwan murder case the Taiwan authorities have suspicions and are resisting
事實上，台灣立法院在3月12日通過一項議案，要求陸委會及法務部積極與香港特區政府協商，按照僅適用於台港兩地的協議，務實解決個案引渡需求，陸委會在接受香港傳媒訪問時更表示，不排除會向香港發出旅遊警示。
In fact the Taiwan Legislative Yuan passed a motion on 12 March requesting the Mainland Affairs Council MAC and the Ministry of Justice to actively negotiate with the Hong Kong SAR Government and effectively solve the problem of extradition in accordance with the agreements applicable to Taiwan and Hong Kong . Interviewed by the Hong Kong media MAC said that it would not rule out the possibility of issuing a warning about travelling to Hong Kong
這樣，香港的國際聲譽一定受到損害。
If so the international reputation of Hong Kong will certainly be ruined
剛才在口頭質詢時，我已經指出現時所謂的個案移交方式是政府新發明的，所以，李家超局長，拜託你不要再說修例要區分兩種移交安排。
As I pointed out in an earlier oral question the so - called case - based surrender is something invented by the Government . So Secretary John LEE please stop saying that the legislative amendments will differentiate the two surrender arrangements
涂議員剛才引述了2011年中國刑事法律網的一篇研究文章，題為"內地與香港移交逃犯合作之法律障礙及對策分析"，我便立即拿了來看。
After listening to Mr TO who just quoted a research article entitled An Analysis of Legal Obstacles and Strategies for the Mainland and Hong Kong to Cooperate on the Surrender of Fugitive Offenders published by the China Criminal Justice in 2011 I rushed to read this article
文章指出："構建兩地移交逃犯刑事合作機制已經成為擺在兩地司法機關面前一項緊迫任務"，而緊迫任務是甚麼意思呢？
It was pointed out in the article that the establishment of a criminal cooperation mechanism for surrendering fugitive offenders has become a pressing task for the judicial authorities of both the Mainland and Hong Kong . What has to be done under this pressing task?
其中一個是處理有關"請求的審查標準和程序差異"的問題。
The differences in the standards of and procedures for examining surrender requests are one of the items to be addressed
我引述一下："香港的《逃犯條例》確立的是一套符合國際通行做法的嚴格雙重審查制......比較而言，香港對外國請求引渡的審查標準和程序相對嚴苛、繁瑣......
I quote The mechanism established under the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance of Hong Kong is a stringent double - examination mechanism in line with international practices comparatively speaking the standards and procedures that Hong Kong has adopted for examining extradition requests from overseas countries are relatively stringent and cumbersome while the extradition agreements signed between the Mainland and overseas countries tend to adopt the zero - evidence standard
" 文章又指要簡化移交逃犯請求的審查程序，換言之，即是"只需要由兩地司法機關對移交請求進行形式性審查，即只審查有關移交逃犯請求以及支持該請求文件是否符合協議，無需對請求所涉犯罪進行實質審查，因此也不要求請求方提供關於犯罪事實的必要證據材料或表面證據。
In other words The judicial authorities of the two places will only be required to conduct an examination in the form for a surrender request ie . during the examination the authorities will only have to look into the surrender request and check whether supporting documents are provided as required by the agreement without examining in substance the crimes involved in the request . Therefore the requesting party will not be required to provide indispensable or prima facie evidence to show corpus delicti
在這個形勢下，保安局不顧以往的討論和顧慮，"走精面"地提出《條例草案》，結果打開了中港引渡的缺口，簡化移交逃犯程序，與那篇文章的目的也是雷同的。
Now the Security Bureau is playing smart by introducing the Bill forgetting about the past negotiations and concerns . It will then open the floodgates for extradition between the Mainland and Hong Kong streamlining the procedures for surrendering fugitive offenders as suggested by the aforesaid article
在2月15日的事務委員會會議後，我去信保安局提出9項質詢。
After the Panel meeting on 15 February I wrote to the Security Bureau to raise nine questions
所謂的諮詢期限為3月4日，我的同事曾致電數次，三催四請。
As the so - called consultation would end on 4 March my colleagues had called the Bureau repeatedly to urge for its response
主席，當我們為了去年一名香港少女在台灣遭遇謀殺的案件無法彰顯公義感到可惜或不快，為了1年來也未能讓死者沉冤得雪而嘆息的同時，這件事的疑犯可以無需懼怕任何通緝令，無需受到法律制裁。
President when we are dismayed by or displeased with the fact that justice has not been upheld for the Hong Kong girl in a murder case in Taiwan last year when we lament the failure to undo the injustice done to the deceased over the one year or so the suspect in this case can fear no wanted circular and face no legal sanctions
對於今天支持楊岳橋議員的"擱置議案"的議員，試問他們如何能夠忍心看着受害者家屬舉目望天、無語無助？
I have a question for Members who support Mr Alvin YEUNGs motion to shelve the amendment bill today . How can they have the heart to watch the victims family members gazing at the sky and standing speechless and helpless?
他們口裏說同情，腳則跑到台灣，教唆別人反對《逃犯條例》，這是偽善。
While claiming to be sympathetic they had gone to Taiwan and abetted people there in opposing the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance . They are hypocritical
大家看得很清楚，現在坐在會議廳內準備支持今天這項"擱置議案"的議員才是在消費這件事。
As we can all clearly see Members sitting in this Chamber who are prepared to support the motion to shelve the amendment bill today are exactly piggybacking on this incident
我再三重申，在香港的普通法制度下，法庭根據香港現行法律把關。
I have reiterated that under the common law system of Hong Kong courts serve as gatekeepers pursuant to existing laws of Hong Kong
《逃犯條例》第51條對這種情況作出了規定。
Section 51 of the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance provides for such a scenario
所以，我不希望再聽到反對派同事不斷提及包裝罪行。
For this reason I do not hope to see opposition Members constantly referring to the packaging of an offence
甚至有反對派議員最近說，在香港的司法制度下，法官、法庭根本不懂得或沒能力提出質疑，進行把關，只能全盤接受請求方提供的所有文件。
Some opposition Members have even said recently that under the judicial system of Hong Kong judges or courts are basically ignorant or are unable to raise any queries as gatekeepers and they can only accept all documents provided by the requesting party
我聽到這說法後感到很可惜，為何反對派議員可以完全無視事實，昧着良心說話，還要衝擊我們的司法制度，侮辱我們的司法制度？
I am dismayed by such sayings . How can opposition Members ignore the facts speak against their conscience attack our judicial system and humiliate our judicial system?
其實，西方國家在普通法制度下，已處理無數移交逃犯的案例，並頒布無數判決。
In fact under the common law system Western countries have dealt with numerous cases concerning surrender of fugitive offenders and handed down numerous judgments
香港法庭並非最先處理移交逃犯的案件，處理案件時絕對可以參考其他普通法國家的法庭判例，對於人權會有高度的保障。
Hong Kong courts are not the first to deal with cases concerning surrender of fugitive offenders and they can certainly make reference to judgments made by courts in other common law countries when dealing with such cases . There will thus be a high level of protection for human rights
主席，既然香港法庭處理這類案件起步較遲，我們甚至可以訂出更高的把關標準，處理這類移交逃犯的案件。
President since Hong Kong courts will start dealing with such cases at a later stage we can even formulate higher gatekeeping standards for them
大家要知道，兩個司法管轄區要簽署一份協議，討論過程並不容易，很多情況下需要經年累月。
But we need to know that when two jurisdictions are to enter into an agreement the process of negotiation will not be easy and will often last years
我也留意到，保安局已剔除相關罪類，釋除他們在營商方面的疑慮。
I have also noted that the Security Bureau has removed the relevant items of offences to allay their concerns in business operation
究竟"把關"是名義上的把關或實質上的把關？
Is the gatekeepers role nominal or substantive?
局長上星期表示這46項罪類根據國際慣例不能剔除，而且《逃犯條例》多年來行之有效，但他卻突然表示可以剔除9項罪類。
The Secretary said last week that these 46 items of offences could not be excluded according to international practice . The Fugitive Offenders Ordinance has been proved effective throughout the years but the Secretary suddenly said that nine items could be excluded
是商界、全港市民或其他國家的關心嗎？
Is he talking about the concerns of the business community all Hong Kong people or other countries?
如果局長能虛心向我們求教，如何透過法律程序處理同一問題，我相信我和各位同事，包括楊岳橋議員，可以在1星期內替局長想出，可以修訂哪一項現行法例，令這宗在台灣發生的事件得到圓滿解決。
If the Secretary humbly asks us for advice about how to deal with the same issue through legal procedures I believe that Honourable colleagues including Mr Alvin YEUNG and I can advise the Secretary within a week on which existing legislation can be amended so that this incident that happened in Taiwan can be resolved satisfactorily
在這篇題為"香港、中國、'移交安排'與人權"的文章中，作者指美國、加拿大、英國、澳洲仍未與中國簽訂引渡逃犯協議，主要的原因是中國的刑事司法系統存在很大問題，尤其是處理不涉及暴力的案件，經常出現任意監禁、虐待、迫供、政治打壓、審訊不公和死刑等情況。
In his article entitled Hong Kong China Rendition and Human Rights the author highlights that the United States Canada the United Kingdom and Australia have not finalized extradition agreements with China largely because of their concerns about the pervasive problems in Chinas criminal justice system especially for non - violent crimes which often result in arbitrary detention torture coerced confessions political prosecutions unfair trials and capital punishment
香港政府過去亦基於類似的原因，未能與中國政府達成移交安排。
For similar reasons the Hong Kong Government has not been able to conclude an agreement on the surrender arrangements with the Chinese Government in the past
今天，我看不到中國有更好的人權紀錄，值得香港改變現狀以促成此事。
Today I fail to see that China has a better human rights record that is worthy for Hong Kong to change its status quo to facilitate such an arrangement
香港大律師公會主席戴啟思在接受媒體訪問時，也提出了數個重點。
When the Chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association Philip DYKES was interviewed by the media he also raised a few important points
他認為要和一個地區達成移交逃犯協議，需要有"基本保障"，包括確保對方有獨立公開的審訊、疑犯會有代表律師、懲教制度符合人權等。
He said that to conclude an agreement on the surrender of fugitive offenders with another region the latter must offer basic standards of protection which include the guarantee of independent and open trials representation of suspects by lawyers conformity of the penal system with human rights and so on
以他理解當年《條例》不包括中國大陸，就是因為大陸在這些方面"不合格"。
According to his understanding the Ordinance did not cover Mainland China back then because it was not up to an acceptable level in these areas
這不是法律問題而是信任 問題......
This is not a legal issue but one about trust
若國家之間達成逃犯協議，其中一方不尊重當中承諾，另一方可以取消，但香港作為中國的領土，特區政府與中央的關係根本不對等。
After an agreement on the surrender arrangements is concluded between two countries if one party fails to respect the undertaking the other party may cancel it . However given that Hong Kong is a territory of China the SAR Government and the Central Authorities are simply not on equal footing
即使北京違犯協議承諾，港府又可以做甚麼？
Even if Beijing contravenes any of the undertakings in the agreement what can the Hong Kong Government do? . This is exactly what Dr Margaret NG has said
這正是吳靄儀所說，現時特區政府所做的不是堵塞漏洞，而是取消保障。
The SAR Government is not plugging a loophole but removing the safeguards
最後，我想特別指出，在這次修例事件中，最虛偽的一群是那些走出來高聲疾呼要尋求公義、贊同移交疑犯的政府官員及建制派。
Last of all I would like to highlight in particular that in the present legislative amendment the most hypocritical people are the government officials and the pro - establishment camp . They stand up to call for the quest for justice and support the surrender of the suspect . I nonetheless feel very puzzled
我很奇怪，內地抓捕維權律師300人，為何不見他們大義凜然地公開說要尋找公義？
When the Mainland arrested 300 human rights lawyers why did I not hear any of them speaking righteously in public in quest for justice?
新疆當局把維吾爾人關進守衞森嚴的培訓中心"洗腦"，有誰站出來為他們發聲？
When the Xinjiang authorities detained Uighurs in those heavily guarded training center for brainwashing who has stood up to speak for them?
這些自命侍奉基督又拜倒黨國的信徒們，內地政府火燒十字架又打壓他們的主內肢體，為何不見他們站出來說要尋求正義呢？
These self - proclaimed disciples of Jesus Christ who also bow to the Communist Party and the State at the same time why did I not see them stand up and speak in quest for justice when the Mainland Government burnt the cross and suppressed their brothers and sisters in Christ?
我亦請各位自命關心民間疾苦的建制派同事撫心自問，這數年來有無數香港人在內地遇上法律爭議，經營生意含冤受屈、買樓受騙，甚至遭強力部門無理拘禁，得不到公平審訊，不能自聘律師，家人不能探訪，審訊不能公開。
Also I would like to invite colleagues from the pro - establishment camp who proclaim to be very concerned about the plight of the people to examine their conscience . Over the past few years there have been an awful lot of cases of Hong Kong people being caught in legal disputes suffered injustice when doing business cheated in the purchase of properties and even detained unreasonably by powerful agencies when they were in the Mainland . They were denied fair trials denied access to lawyers denied visits by their families and denied open trials
但是，那些高聲疾呼"修例是公義"的建制派議員有否把"公義"公平地應用在這些被打壓的人身上，為他們努力爭取呢？
Have those pro - establishment Members who shout loudly that legislative amendment is justice upheld justice fairly for these people who have been suppressed and fought for them?
沒有人想看到一個殺人疑犯在香港消遙法外，但我們也不想看到因修例而製造千百宗冤假錯案，更不想看到強力部門日後一聲令下，香港警隊3萬人便立即淪為他們的爪牙，服務這個鄙視司法獨立、沒有公平審訊、強迫在電視前認罪，並以法律作槍炮來治國的國度。
No one wants to see a homicide suspect escaping prosecution in Hong Kong but we do not want to see the emergence of thousands of unjust false or wrongs cases as a result of the legislative amendment either . Nor do we want to see that in the future once an order is given our 300 000 policemen from the Hong Kong Police Force will be reduced to minions of the powerful agencies and have to serve a country that despises judicial independence does not have fair trial forces people to plead guilty in front of the television and uses laws as guns to govern the country
法律既是武器，也是戰略。
Law is both a weapon and a strategy
強力部門羅織罪名，以道德罪名及經濟罪名對付政治犯的情況，屢見不鮮。
It is not uncommon for the powerful agencies to trump up charges such as moral and economic crimes against political prisoners
移交逃犯的難題爭議20年，當年梁愛詩和前保安局局長葉劉淑儀議員也不敢強推，但今天的保安局局長卻膽敢這樣做。
This issue of the surrender of fugitive offenders has been debated for 20 years but neither Elsie LEUNG nor former Secretary for Security Regina IP dared to force the law through back then . Today however the Secretary for Security dares to make this move
大家終於明白，香港的自由自主不是北京剝奪，而是一點一滴的斷送在香港人的手上。
We finally realized that the freedom and autonomy of Hong Kong were not seized by Beijing but were ruined bit by bit by the people of Hong Kong
