I forward a proposal for action from a Chinese student regarding
the three leaders of the HK Student Federation, Hok Luen, charged
by HKG for "illegal assembly" on the night of June 4 this year in
front of Xinhua News Agency.

To my fellow Hong Kong activists: shouldn't we have done this earlier ?

Subject:  It's our turn to help HK students being charged!

Dear netters, IFCSS leaders,

Three  Hong Kong student activitsts are charged for participating
the  protest demonstration in front of the New China News  Agency
building  on  June 5 early this year.  And the HK  Federation  of
Students  is urgently asking for international support  on  their
rescue campaign.

These students are being charged under excuse of the HK municipal
"Public  Order  Ordinance"  which the colony government  used  to
supress student gathering and other activities aiming the Li Peng
government  and its agent in Hong Kong.  Under the pressure  from
Bejing, the HK regime has been doing this for three years.

During  the 1989 pro-democracy movement and the  years  following
that  bloody  midnight,  Hong  Kong  students  have  been  giving
enormous support to their mainland peers. Now it's time for us to
give our hands when they are calling out.

Here are something we CSS in US can do to help the 3 charged Hong
Kong student cases:

Call  your  local  or nearest British consulate to  express  your
demand:

   "Please  convey my deep concerns for the 3 Hong Kong  students
   being      charged by the un-justifiable reason."   You  don't
   have  to  talk about     the whole story to the staff  of  the
   consulate.

Send  a letter to the British premier and/or the new HK  governor
asking them:

    "Stop suppressing students pro-democratic activities and make
    HK       municipal   rules  consistant  with   internationaly
    recongnized human rights     criterior."

I also suggest that IFCSS (HQ and/or CCSA) study the appeal  from
the HK student Federation and consider certain action promptly.

Hong  Kong  is  a very internationalized  city  in  economy,  and
heavily  relies  on the China-US trade,  the more voice from  the
world  and especially U.S.,  the more caution the  HK  government
will  take  before  giving  any harsh  sentences  to  the  cases.
International  protests will definitely balance the pressure from
Li Peng.

    HK Student Federation can be contacted by fax: (852) 787-3120
    or e-mail: H8811377@HKUCC.HKU.HK.

Names of the 3 student activists are:

    "To Kwan Hang", "Tsoi Yiu Cheong", "Wong Ching Man"

They are Secretary-General of the HK student federation for 1989,
1990,  and 1991 respectively, but were NOT organizers of the June
5  NCNA demonstration,  which are the reason they are charged  by
the HK regime in the surface.
