【加拿大全球事务部2024-5-30消息】
加拿大全球事务部今天就 “香港 47 人 ”案的宣判发表声明如下：
“加拿大对《国家安全法》（NSL）大规模审判被称为 ”香港 47 人 “或 ”NSL 47 人 “的 47 名 民主政治家和活动家的有罪判决深表关切。
此案中的 47 名被告因和平政治活动（包括组织非正式初选）而被捕和被起诉。其中许多人被拒 绝保释，并被审前拘留近两年。
审判结果表明，香港的国家安全法，包括最近根据《基本法》第二十三条颁布的《维护国家安全 条例》，不仅在香港，而且在海外都被用来压制不同政见。
香港政府对两名被告无罪释放提出上诉的决定令人深感不安。
加拿大承认香港有必要处理合法的国家安全考虑。然而，香港的国家安全法未能保障《基本法》 和香港已加入的国际文书中规定的人权和自由。
加拿大重申其在联合国对中国人权记录进行普遍定期审议时向中国提出的建议，即废除国家安全 法，并要求香港当局停止起诉所有根据该法被指控的个人。”

Statement on verdict of Hong Kong pro-democracy politicians and activists
From: Global Affairs Canada
Statement
May 30, 2024 – Ottawa, Ontario – Global Affairs Canada
Global Affairs Canada today issued the following statement on the verdict on the “Hong Kong 47” trial:
“Canada is deeply concerned at the guilty verdicts handed down in the National Security Law (NSL) mass trial of 47 pro-democracy politicians and advocates known as the “Hong Kong 47” or “NSL 47.
“The 47 defendants in this case were arrested and prosecuted for peaceful political activity, including organizing an unofficial primary election. Among them, many were denied bail and held in pre-trial detention for almost two years.
“The trial’s result demonstrates that Hong Kong’s national security laws, including the recently enacted Safeguarding National Security Ordinance under Article 23 of the Basic Law, are being used to silence dissent not only in Hong Kong but also overseas.
“The Hong Kong government’s decision to appeal the acquittal of two defendants is deeply troubling.
“Canada recognizes Hong Kong’s need to address legitimate national security considerations. Hong Kong’s national security laws, however, fail to safeguard the human rights and freedoms enshrined in the Basic Law and in international instruments to which Hong Kong is a party.
“Canada reiterates its recommendation to China at the UN’s Universal Periodic Review of its human rights record to repeal the NSL and for Hong Kong authorities to end the prosecution of all individuals charged under it.”
