Hong Kong Watch issues letter to RCMP Commissioner to investigate Paul Chiang

Today, Hong Kong Watch issued a letter to Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Commissioner Michael Duheme, urging him to immediately open an investigation to former Liberal candidate and incumbent Member of Parliament for Markham–Unionville Paul Chiang’s comments against Conservative candidate for Don Valley North Joe Tay. 

Late on 31 March, following this letter, Paul Chiang announced he was stepping aside from the federal election.

It was reported that Paul Chiang made comments that Joe Tay should be turned over to the Chinese Consulate in exchange for a financial reward of HK$1 million, which are alarming and represent a dangerous endorsement of transnational repression.

The full letter can be read here. 

This follows the issuance of a joint letter from 40 Hong Kong organizations demanding action against Canadian MP Paul Chiang from Prime Minister Mark Carney, led by Hong Kong Watch.

香港監察去信加拿大皇家騎警警監  促請調查國會議員蔣振宇跨國鎮壓行為  蔣同日退出大選

今天，香港監察向加拿大皇家騎警（RCMP）警監Michael Duheme致函，促請他立即就前自由黨候選人、現任Markham–Unionville選區國會議員蔣振宇（Paul Chiang）對保守黨Don Valley North選區候選人鄭敬基（Joe Tay）的言論展開調查。

在這封信發出後，蔣振宇同日宣布退出聯邦大選。

據報，蔣振宇曾表示，任何人只需把鄭敬基帶到中國領事館，就可以領取一百萬港元賞金。這種驚人言論反映了對跨國鎮壓的危險認可。

早前，以香港監察為首的全球40個香港組織亦發表了一封聯署信，要求加拿大總理卡尼（Mark Carney）對國會議員蔣振宇採取行動回應。
