今天在立法會討論這項議案的目的，是要求政府採取有效措施，恢復社會秩序，亦希望議會同事不分黨派一起反對暴力，向暴力說不，令數天後的區議會選舉能夠在公平公正、安全及和平的環境下進行。
This motion under discussion in the Legislative Council today aims at urging the Government to adopt effective measures to restore social order and seeks to invite Honourable colleagues to transcend political affiliations to join hands in combating violence and saying no to it thereby enabling the District Council DC Election to be held in a fair impartial safe and peaceful environment
主席，大部分市民對暴力升級都相當擔心，害怕局勢會惡化。
President most members of the public are rather worried by the escalation in violence fearing that the situation will deteriorate further
近日，我們看到示威人士在各處堵路，在天橋上向鐵路路軌投擲單車，又四處投擲汽油彈，對港鐵、巴士、商店以至法庭縱火。
These days we have seen protesters blocking roads at various places throwing bicycles onto the railway tracks from footbridges pelting petrol bombs everywhere and making arson attacks against MTR buses shopping malls and even law courts
市民想安全上班上學也相當困難，更擔心若局勢進一步惡化，生命將會受到威脅。
People even have much difficulty commuting safely to school and to work . And what is more worrying to them is that their lives will be endangered if the situation further deteriorates
因此，有市民擔心區議會選舉日是否安全，票站可否如常運作，選民能否安全抵達票站投票，候選人及其助選團能否不受暴力襲擊，選舉能否在公平、公開、公正及安全的情況下進行。
For these reasons some people have become concerned whether the polling day of the DC Election will be safe whether the polling stations can operate normally whether voters can reach the polling stations safely to cast their votes whether candidates and their electioneering teams can be protected from violent attacks and whether the election can be conducted in a fair open impartial and safe environment
市民有這些擔心是很正常的，政府官員有責任回應有關問題。
While it is natural for people to be worried about these the government officials are duty - bound to respond to these issues
主席，4年一次的區議會選舉是選民履行公民責任、行使公民權利的場合，這個權利不應被剝奪。
President the quadrennial DC Election is an occasion allowing voters to fulfil their civic duty and exercise their civil right which they should not be deprived of
每個人的基本自由權利應該得到尊重，我們不應以粗暴的手段剝奪別人的選擇權利。
The basic rights and freedoms of every person should be respected and we should not resort to violence means to deprive others of their right to choose
把自己的意願強加於人，要他人按照自己的意願去做，這明顯有違社會核心價值。
Apparently it is contrary to the core values of society for anyone to force their will on the others and require the others to act accordingly
終審法院首席法官馬道立早前勸勉青年人，他說法治精神除了包含尊重個人基本權利和自由，也包括尊重他人的權利。
Earlier Chief Justice Geoffrey MA of the Court of Final Appeal gave a speech to youngsters advising them that the spirit of the rule of law lies in not only the respect of the basic individual rights and freedoms but also the respect for the rights of other people
訴諸暴力，迫其他人罷工、罷課、罷市，正是剝奪了他人的自由和權利。
The use of violence to force employees students and the business sector to go on strike is just equivalent to depriving others of their rights and freedoms
近日有網民揚言要阻礙市民到票站投票，令人擔心在投票當天，候選人、選民及票站人員的安全問題。
Recently some netizens have threatened to obstruct people from going to the polling stations to vote thus causing concerns over the safety of candidates voters and polling staff on the polling day
他又呼籲社會必須停止暴力，強調市民應該同心協力，維護公平公開及誠實的選舉文化。
He also called on the community to stop violence and emphasized that all members of the public should make concerted efforts to safeguard a fair open and honest election culture
我十分認同，如果香港想繼續向民主、法治、自由社會的方向邁進，市民便要同心協力，維護公平公開及誠實的選舉文化。
I very much concur with him . If Hong Kong wants to continue with its move towards a city with democracy the rule of law and freedom members of the public will have to make concerted efforts to safeguard a fair open and honest election culture
主席，因修例風波而引起的社會動盪未止，大家可以看到由6月至今，情況由最初的和平示威，演變至後期的連串暴力衝突。
President the social upheaval generated by disturbances arising from the proposed legislative amendments continues . The situation which began in June as peaceful demonstrations has subsequently turned into series of violent clashes as we see at present
暴徒的行為越來越過分，已到無底線的程度。
The behaviour of the rioters is getting increasingly appalling reaching the point of being unprincipled
如果大家記得，剛開始時只是示威遊行、阻塞道路，隨後卻出現大批黑衣人和蒙面暴徒，大肆破壞，從立法會開始，接着是地鐵、交通燈，以及對不同政見或在現場拍照的人士進行"私了"。
If we can still remember at the beginning there were demonstrations and road blockages only followed by the subsequent appearance of a large crowd of black - clad people and masked rioters who smashed everything into pieces recklessly from the Legislative Council Complex to MTR stations and traffic lights . They further enforced vigilante attacks on people who held dissent political views or took photos at the scenes
此外，他們不斷在市面上打、砸、燒目標商店，行為變得越來越猖狂，頻頻用上汽油彈，以及各種致命的攻擊性武器，香港好像進入了無政府狀態。
Moreover they vandalize wreck and set fire on target shops in the streets incessantly; and as their activities are getting increasingly outrageous they frequently use petrol bombs and all sorts of lethal offensive weapons . Hong Kong looks as if an anarchist state
根據警方統計，6月至9月有2,000多宗刑事毀壞和縱火個案，至今我估計個案已超過4,000宗甚至5,000宗。
According to Polices statistics more than 2 000 cases of criminal damage and arson have been recorded from June to September . And now I guess there should be more than 4 000 or even 5 000 cases in total
主席，暴亂已影響香港經濟、營商環境和消費氣氛。
President the riots have impacted on Hong Kongs economy business environment and consumption sentiments
由於旅遊業不景，其他行業亦受影響，包括零售業連續多個月有雙位數字下跌，食肆出現倒閉潮，有300多間倒閉。
The depression in tourism impinges upon other industries including retail which has suffered double - digit fall in sales volume for several consecutive months and restaurants which have undergone a wave of closures with more than 300 of them folded
面對這種局面，暴徒及其支持者並不會因此而罷手，我認為情況只會變本加厲。
The rioters and their supporters are not going to call it quits in view of this situation . I believe it will only get worse
暴徒這樣做的其中一個目的，是希望打擊政府威信，令市民不信任政府。
In doing so one of the objectives of the rioters is to undermine the credibility of the Government so that the people will lose trust in the Government
他們最終希望通過不同的選舉遊戲，掌控區議會、立法會、選舉委員會，甚至特首選舉。
Their eventual goal is to take control of the District Councils Legislative Council Election Committee and even the Chief Executive election through various election games
香港以往是世界最安全的城市，遊客和市民半夜在街上行走或消費不會擔憂，沒有交通工具亦不擔心安全，更不會擔心買不到東西。
Hong Kong used to be the safest city in the world tourists and local people had no fears when walking down the street or engaging in outdoor consumer activities at midnight safety was not an issue to them even when means of transport were out of reach and they would not worry about the availability of goods when they went shopping
他們搞這麼多事，也是想導致不公平的現象出現，這便是他們的手法。
At the end of the day they make all the trouble just for the sake of generating unfairness
除了導致整個市面十分混亂，路面擠塞之餘，他們連港鐵電梯和交通燈也不放過。
On top of messing up the entire city and creating traffic jams they did not spare the elevators at MTR stations and the traffic lights
便是要造成社會混亂，令大家對社會不滿。
For the sake of generating social chaos and provoking social discontent
也不只這樣，如果有市民在街上說話大聲一點、說了些不中聽的話或拍照，也有機會被打，大家於是都擔心如果自己說話大聲，會否被罵或打。
What is more people on the street may be assaulted if they speak a bit more loudly say something not to the liking of the rioters or take pictures . Hence we all worry if we will be told off or beaten up if we speak too loudly
所以，整個香港可說是出現了黑色恐怖。
Black terror has thus emerged practically everywhere throughout the entire territory
較早前，在馬鞍山有一名長者因為看不過眼，追着人罵便被人縱火焚燒。
Earlier an elderly person at Ma On Shan chased after some people and scolded them upon seeing something unacceptable to him . He was then set ablaze
香港是否已經淪落呢？
Does it mean that Hong Kong has met its downfall?
很簡單，有一位朋友跟我說，他在街上看到一名建制派或建設派議員派單張，但沒有人敢拿。
Here is a simple example . A friend of mine told me that he saw on the street a Member from the pro - establishment camp―or the construction camp―handing out leaflets which no one dared to take
主席，現在距離區議會選舉還有3天，市民普遍擔心甚麼呢？
President it is just three days away from the District Council election day . What is the common concern of the people?
便是他們投票時，政府可否保障他們享有一個公平和安全的選舉環境。
Their concern is whether the Government can safeguard their right to a fair and safe election environment
我也有疑問。
I am not sure
有見及此，我認為政府這幾天必須負責為市民營造一個正常的選舉環境，維持市面治安和秩序，尤其是要注意網上言論，及時通報可能發生的風險。政府要及時提出一些應對措施，好讓市民覺得選舉日 是安全和公平的。如果這數天發生暴力破壞事件，政府應該根據《區議會條例》第38條，評估選舉當天有否受騷亂、公開暴力或任何危害公眾健康或安全的事故妨礙、干擾、破壞或嚴重影響。
In view of this I consider it mandatory for the Government to create for the people a normal election environment these few days maintain law and order in the territory and pay special attention to online comments and notify the people of possible risks in a timely manner
主席，首先，我非常感謝容海恩議員就2019年區議會一般選舉提出的議案。
President first of all I would like to thank Ms YUNG Hoi - yan for her motion on the 2019 District Council DC Ordinary Election
我細心聆聽議員的發言，也深深感受到他們對區議會選舉，由提名期、競選期直至現在所經歷的過程，以及對如何進行公平、公正和安全的選舉表達的意見及擔憂。
I have listened carefully to the speeches of Members and I deeply understand their opinions and concerns about the DC Election the course of development from the nomination period the election campaign to the present and how the Election can be held in a fair just and safe manner
然而，所有議員均對在11月24日如期舉行選舉，作出非常清晰和正面的表態。
However all Members have clearly and positively indicated that the Election should be held on 24 November as scheduled
主席，今屆區議會選舉有很多方面是前所未有的。
President this DC Election is unprecedented in several aspects
第一，今年正式登記選民人數達413多萬，是歷來最多。
First there is a record high of more than 4.13 million officially registered electors this year
第二，區議會民選議席增至452席，也是歷來最多。
Second the number of elected seats in DCs has increased to 452 which is also a record high
第三，今屆獲有效提名的候選人達1,090人，同樣是歷來最多。
Third there are 1 090 validly nominated candidates this year a record high as well
第四，全港每個選區都有超過1名候選人，也是有史以來首次區議會一般選舉沒有候選人自動當選。
Fourth there is more than one candidate in each constituency over the territory and this is also the first DC Ordinary Election in history in which no candidates are returned uncontested
今次區議會一般選舉的籌備工作是歷年來最富挑戰性的，除了我剛才提到在數方面的前所未有情況外，今次區議會一般選舉經歷了過去數月的社會動盪。
Making preparations for this DC Ordinary Election is the most challenging task over the years . In addition to the unprecedented situations that I have just mentioned this DC Ordinary Election has gone through the social turmoil in the past few months
議員的發言也提到，有候選人及其支持者在進行競選活動時受到襲擊或威嚇、有議員辦事處多次遭到破壞或縱火、競選期間的宣傳品或橫額等遭到破壞，人身安全也受到威脅等。
As mentioned by Members in their speeches some candidates and their supporters have been attacked or intimidated during the election campaign the offices of some Members have been repeatedly vandalized or set fire on the publicity materials or banners for the election have been destroyed and their personal safety was also threatened
我們要明白，今次區議會選舉可讓400多萬名選民透過投票表達他們的意見。
We have to understand that this DC Election allows more than 4 million electors to express their views through voting
選民的投票權非常重要，我們和社會人士當然希望選民能夠在投票日和平、安全地投票，但在我們籌備區議會選舉時，也要考慮安全風險，以及是否能夠讓選民、候選人、支持者和工作人員安全地進行有關工作。
Electors right to vote is very important . The Government and the community certainly hope that electors will be able to vote in a peaceful and safe manner on the polling day . However when we make preparations for the DC Election we must also consider the security risks and whether electors candidates supporters and staff can safely play their respective roles
因此，我們必須就兩方面作出充分考慮及作出平衡，而這項工作並不容易。
Therefore we must fully consider and balance the two aspects which is not an easy task
政府的立場十分清晰，我們很希望能夠如期辦好這場選舉。
The stance of the Government is clear enough we really hope that the Election can be held as scheduled
所以，在過去一段日子，不同的政府部門，以及選舉管理委員會都大力進行各項準備工作，亦備妥不同方案。
Hence for a certain period of time in the past different government departments and the Electoral Affairs Commission EAC have vigorously carried out the preparation work and have also formulated different options
我剛才提到競選期間遇到的暴力威嚇行為，我在此清晰表示，政府強力譴責這些暴力行為，社會人士也不接受這些行為。
Just now I have mentioned the acts of violence and intimidation during the election campaign . I hereby state clearly that the Government strongly condemns these acts of violence and the community also does not accept such acts
非建制派議員剛才指出，他們警告政府必須確保如期進行選舉，但我想請他們撫心自問，過去數月正因為這些暴力行為，以及有人縱容這些暴力行為，導致暴力不斷升級。
Non - establishment Members have just warned the Government that it must ensure the holding of the Election as scheduled . However may I ask them to be honest with themselves it is precisely due to such acts of violence over the past few months and the connivance of some people that have resulted in the escalation of violence
所有人都不能接受暴力，亦不應縱容暴力行為，所以，如果非建制派議員希望如期舉行選舉，請他們清晰地向社會人士作出表態。
None of us can accept violence and we should not condone acts of violence . So if non - establishment Members want the Election to be held as scheduled may I ask them to clearly state their positions to members of the public
任何威嚇和襲擊候選人及其支持者，或破壞宣傳物品的行為均屬違法。
It is against the law to intimidate and attack candidates and their supporters or to vandalize publicity materials
根據《選舉條例》，這些都屬刑事罪行，最高刑罰是監禁7年和罰款50萬元。
Under the Elections Ordinance a person who engages in such conduct commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine of 500,000 and to imprisonment for seven years
若出現有關情況，應第一時間報警，通知執法機關，以及保存有關紀錄。
If there are such cases the Police and the law enforcement agencies should be notified immediately and the relevant records should be kept
我知道受影響的議員及其支持者亦有這樣做，而廉政公署也提供24小時熱線，電話號碼是2526,6366。
I know that the affected Members and their supporters have done so . The Independent Commission Against Corruption also provides a 24 - hour hotline 2526 6366
執法機關會嚴肅跟進有關個案，剛才有議員提到，過去網上有人教唆或鼓動他人收起長者的身份證，這些違法行為已轉交執法機關跟進。
The law enforcement agencies will follow up relevant cases seriously . Some Members have just remarked that some people instigate or encourage others online to confiscate the identity cards of the elderly . These illegal acts have been referred to the law enforcement agencies for follow - up actions
同時，區議會選舉亦有選舉呈請機制，當然這是在選舉後才可以啟動的機制。
Moreover there is also an election petition mechanism for the DC Election . Of course this mechanism can only be activated after the Election
根據《區議會條例》，這機制讓任何候選人或當區10位選民若覺得選舉結果或過程出現普遍不公平的現象，他們可向法庭提出呈請，質疑選舉結果是否妥當。
According to the District Councils Ordinance this mechanism allows any candidate or 10 electors in the district to present an election petition to the court questioning the result of an election if they find that the election result or process is generally unfair
我剛才提到，我們需要確保選舉投票日的安全風險盡量減低，所以我們已進行一系列準備工作。
As I mentioned earlier we have to minimize the security risk on the polling day thus we have carried out a series of preparation work
我們已多次召開跨部門會議進行商討，而在公共選舉應變機制下成立的危機管理委員會，會向選管會提供意見。
We have held several inter - departmental meetings and a Crisis Management Committee has been set up under the contingency mechanism for public elections to provide advice to EAC
我們需要確保來自不同地區的2萬多名票站工作人員在投票當天能抵達票站，讓票站準時於7時30分開始運作。
We have to ensure that more than 20 000 polling station staff from various districts can arrive at the polling stations on the polling day so that the polling stations will open on time at 7col30 am
整個投票日由早上7時30分至晚上10時30分，候選人、助選團、選民及票站工作人員須在不受威嚇和恐懼的情況下工作。
The polling hours will be from 7col30 am to 10col30 pm . Candidates electioneering teams electors and polling station staff must work or vote without being intimidated or scared
此外，票站不會受到惡意干擾或破壞，以致影響選舉進行。
Moreover the polling stations will not be maliciously disturbed or vandalized thereby affecting the conduct of the Election
此外，在保安方面，警隊會悉力以赴，我們也會請民安隊和外聘保安公司的保安人員在票站進行安保工作。
On security the Police will spare no effort to provide service . We have also invited the Civil Aid Service and security personnel of private security companies to perform security duties at the polling stations
為應付各種可能出現的情況，消防處會有一個快速應變小組，若有任何情況出現，他們能處理火警或其他有關事情。
To cope with all possible situations rapid response teams of the Fire Services Department will handle fire incidents or other related matters
第三個問題是選舉能否如期進行。
The third question is whether the Election can be held as scheduled
正如我剛才所說，我們這兩天聽到各位議員的意見，他們都很希望選舉可以如期進行，但我們也要密切注視情況。
As I said just now we have heard Members express their wish these two days that the Election should be held as scheduled . Yet we must closely monitor the situation
我早前提過，要讓選舉如期在11月24日順利舉行， 票站人員需要準時抵達票站，交通也要不受阻塞，設施不被破壞，因此，這數天我們一直密切注視有關情況，希望可以如期舉行選舉。
I have mentioned earlier that if the Election is to be held on 24 November as scheduled the polling station staff must be able to arrive at the polling stations on time the traffic should not be obstructed and the facilities should not be vandalized . We have been closely monitoring the relevant situation these few days and we hope that the Election can be held as scheduled
其實，《區議會條例》已清楚訂明有關情況，例如，賦予票站主任在個別的票站、選管會在一個選區、行政長官在整個香港的選舉中有權力決定是否需要押後選舉。
In fact the District Councils Ordinance has clear provisions in this respect . For example the following parties have the right to decide whether the election has to be postponed the Presiding Officer in relation to individual polling stations EAC in relation to specific constituencies and the Chief Executive in relation to the entire election in Hong Kong
因此，我們會按相關機制行事。
Therefore we will act under the relevant mechanism
萬一在投票當天需要暫停某個或數個票站，甚至發生涉及全香港的事情，相關投票工作或點票工作便會停止。
If it is necessary to adjourn poll at one or several polling stations and if incidents involving Hong Kong as a whole happen the relevant poll or count will be adjourned
有議員提到，如要押後選舉，對日後的立法會選舉中與區議會有關的6個議席有何影響？
Some Members asked how the six DC - related seats in the future Legislative Council election would be affected if the Election was postponed
主席，我們明白有關選舉信息的發放十分重要。
President we understand that the dissemination of information related to the election is very important
因此，在過去一段時間，特別是這數天，我們已加強這方面的工作。
Therefore we have stepped up our work in this area over a period of time in the past especially these few days
我們會更多利用社交媒體，令信息能更有效地廣為發放。
We will make better use of social media to disseminate information more effectively and extensively
同時，我們也注意到在這期間有很多謠言，也有很多失實的說法，試圖製造混亂，達至某些目的。
Furthermore we also notice that there have been a lot of rumours and misrepresentations during this period trying to create confusion to achieve certain purposes
因此，對於就這些謠言作出澄清，我們定會不遺餘力。
We will spare no effort to clarify these rumours
例如，有議員指網上有人建議收起長者的身份證以阻礙他們投票。
For example some Members point out that there are appeals online to confiscate the identity cards of elderly people to prevent them from voting
此外，有謠言質疑投票站人員的公正性。
In addition there are rumours questioning the impartiality of polling station staff
我想指出，投票站人員均是公務員同事，他們須遵守一套工作指引。
I would like to point out that all polling station staff are members of the Civil Service and they have to abide by a set of guidelines
至於報失大量身份證，然後領取大量"報失紙"來冒充他人投票，這是絕不可能發生的事情，因為選民只出示"報失紙"是不能投票的。
Rumour has it that a lot of people will report loss of identity card and impersonators will then apply for ballot papers in the name of another person with a memo of lost property . This situation definitely will not happen because electors cannot vote by only producing the memo of lost property
除"報失紙"外，選民亦要出示顯示姓名及相片的有效旅遊證件正本，方可領取選票。
In addition to the memo an elector must also produce the original of hisher valid travel document showing hisher name and photography to collect the ballot paper
網上也有人號召市民大清早去投票。
There are also calls on the Internet to vote early in the morning
投票時間是早上7時30分至晚上10時30分，大家不用大清早或集中在某一時段去投票。
The polling hours will be from 7col30 am to 10col30 pm . Members of the public do not need to vote early in the morning or mainly at a certain period of time
不過，我要強調一點，每個選區都要等到整個選區的投票程序順利完成後，才會進行點票和公布結果。
Nevertheless I would like to highlight one point the counting of votes will only commence when polling at all polling stations of the same constituency has closed and the results will be announced after the count
因此，即使選民大清早去投票，始終都要等到整個投票程序結束後，才會進行點票和公布結果。
Therefore even if electors vote early in the morning they have to wait for the conclusion of the whole polling process before counting of votes and announcement of result
主席，香港一直以來有優良的選舉文化，我們重視公平、公正、廉潔和文明。
President Hong Kong has always had a good election culture and we attach importance to having a fair just corruption - free and civilized election
過去數月發生的事情，整個社會出現的暴力行為和很多其他事情，均對這些價值帶來很大衝擊。
In the past few months acts of violence in society and many other incidents have greatly affected such values
就即將舉行的區議會選舉，我呼籲社會各界和不同政黨，特別是非建制政黨，如果他們希望選舉如期舉行，就讓我們的選舉文化具體地表現出來。
Regarding the forthcoming DC Election I call upon all sectors of the community and different political parties especially non - establishment political parties to allow our election culture to manifest positively if they want the Election to be held as scheduled
不單靠政府，也要靠每位市民為選舉製造平和的環境。
The Governments effort is not enough every member of the public should contribute to creating a peaceful environment for the Election
最重要的是，香港必須珍惜這種選舉文化，讓這種文化得以承傳，讓選民可以在安全、和平、有序的環境下，透過選票表達意見。
Most important of all Hong Kong must cherish this election culture and pass it on so that electors can express their opinions through voting in a safe peaceful and orderly environment
主席，第六屆區議會選舉投票日已經進入倒數階段，可惜的是，過去5個多月以來，香港社會一直承受着無止境的暴力威嚇，嚴重程度越見升級。
President the countdown to the Sixth District Council DC Election has begun . Yet regrettably over the past five months Hong Kong society has been subjected to endless and escalating violence
即使不是身處暴動現場，單單透過電視熒光幕觀看直播，也看到近數星期大批黑衣暴徒在香港中文大學、香港理工大學，以及港九其他地方狂擲磚頭、玻璃、汽油彈，甚至以弓箭射傷警員，這些暴力行徑實在令人心寒。
Even without being at the riot scenes one could see from the television live broadcasts that over the past few weeks many black - clad rioters have hurled bricks glass and petrol bombs and even fired arrows at police officers at The Chinese University of Hong Kong The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and other places over the territory . These violent crimes have really sent a chill down my spine
如果暴力越加橫行，試問區議會候選人、競選團隊及選民如何能夠安心在投票日行使他們的選舉權和被選權？
If the violence becomes even more rampant and brazen how can DC candidates electioneering teams and electors exercise the right to vote and the right to be elected on the polling day without any worries?
票站的工作人員又如何能夠順利和安心地工作？
How can polling officers feel at ease to carry out their work?
借反修例發起的暴動發展至今，黑衣暴力分子針對建制派政黨議員辦事處的暴力行徑，已經不止塗鴉和打砸、毀壞辦事處設施，而是縱火來癱瘓辦事處的運作，意圖嚇怕甚至傷害辦事處職員、義工及支持者，還直接影響尋求議員辦事處協助的市民。
Since riots against the proposed legislative amendments have taken place the violent acts of black - clad rioters have gone beyond daubing graffiti and vandalizing the facilities of pro - establishment Members offices . They have set fire to paralyse office operations in an attempt to scare or even injure staff of Members offices volunteers and supporters of Members and have directly impacted people who sought assistance from Members offices
黑衣暴徒更把暴力升級，指向現任區議員、候選人及競選團隊成員。
The black - clad rioters have extended their violence to incumbent DC members candidates and electioneering team members
他們在街頭擺設街站派發宣傳單張時，已經不是被指罵這般簡單，而是受到暴力襲擊。
When DC members set up street booths to hand out flyers they were not only lambasted but violently assaulted
例如有候選人在街頭派發宣傳單張時遭硬物扑頭、在街頭遭到伏擊圍毆，弄至頭破血流，甚至有候選人被人用木棒追打和淋澆不明液體、咬斷耳朵等，使候選人及其競選團隊進行選舉活動時均提心吊膽。
Examples include a candidate being hit in the head by a hard object while handing out flyers on the street; some candidates being ambushed and badly beaten on the street ending up with their heads broken and bleeding; some being pursued and hit with wooden clubs doused with unknown liquid and a candidate having his ear bitten off . These incidents have caused great anxieties among candidates and their electioneering teams when conducting electoral activities
本月6日，立法會同事何君堯議員在屯門進行區議會選舉活動期間，被暴徒持兇器襲擊受傷。
On the 6 of this month our Honourable colleague Mr Junius HO was attacked and injured by an armed assailant during a DC election campaign in Tuen Mun
作為經確認的區議會選舉候選人，何議員在進行區議會選舉活動時遇襲受傷，這些暴力傷人行為實在令人髮指，亦是以赤裸裸的以暴力手段干預選舉，絕對不能接受。
Mr HO a confirmed candidate for the DC Election was assaulted and injured during the canvassing campaign of the DC Election . These violent assaults are really outrageous and the use of violent means to blatantly interfere with the Election is absolutely unacceptable
如果說部分襲擊事件是孤狼式的行為，那麼針對建制派現任區議員、候選人、競選團隊成員的行為，就極可能有組織和有預謀，而絕非只是個別人士所作的偶發式行動。
If some of the attacks were lone - wolf incidents then the attacks on pro - establishment incumbent DC members candidates and electioneering team members were most probably organized and premeditated rather than one - off actions committed by individuals
