40 Hong Kong organisations demand action against Canadian MP Paul Chiang from Prime Minister Mark Carney

Today, over 40 Hong Kong diaspora organisations based in Canada, the US, the UK, Australia, and Germany issued a strong rebuke of Paul Chiang, Member of Parliament for Markham Unionville and Liberal candidate in the upcoming Canadian federal election, for his endorsement of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) transnational repression tactics. They have urged Prime Minister Mark Carney to respond without delay and to reaffirm his commitment to human rights, particularly in safeguarding the well-being of Hong Kong residents in Canada.

In a joint statement, these organisations expressed their unwavering solidarity and commitment to defending freedom and human rights, categorically denouncing all forms of transnational repression. They voiced concern over recent remarks made by MP Paul Chiang, who suggested that Joe Tay—a Canadian citizen and prominent pro-democracy broadcaster for "Hong Kong Station"—should be handed over to the Chinese Consulate in Toronto in return for a HK$1 Million reward issued by the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF). Such statements not only reflect Chiang's support for the CCP's transnational repression of Hong Kong activists but also undermine the democratic values that Canada upholds.

全球四十個港人組織譴責國會議員蔣振宇支持中共跨國鎮壓  呼籲加拿大總理卡尼立即回應

今天,四十個來自加拿大、美國、英國、澳洲和德國的海外港人組織強烈譴責代表加拿大Markham-Unionville選區參與4月28日聯邦大選的自由黨候選人蔣振宇(Paul Chiang)支持中國共產黨的跨境鎮壓手段,並呼籲加拿大總理卡尼(Mark Carney)立即回應此事,並重申對人權的承諾,保護居住在加拿大的香港人安全。

聯合聲明中,聯署組織團結一致和堅定地維護自由和保護人權,並譴責任何形式的跨國鎮壓。聲明指加拿大國會議員及聯邦大選候選人蔣振宇最近的言論令人擔憂。蔣振宇早前曾建議將加拿大公民、知名民主派人士兼「香港台」創辦人鄭敬基(Joe Tay)送到中國領事館,以領取香港警方發出的100萬港元的懸紅賞金。這種言論反映了他支持中共對海外港人進行跨國鎮壓,並損害加拿大所秉持的民主和自由的價值觀。
