I am now able to reply more fully to your letter of
11 October about the resettlement policy of the Hong
Kong Government, and in particular, the protest of the
Yan Yi villagers.
a letter from I am enclosing a copy of the Acting Commissioner for
ん
Resettlement's letter to the South China Morning Post.
エヒ
which explains in some detail the present policy on
Je ales prints out that the reason why resettlement, and why unfortunately/the Yan Yi villagers
was the sudden
could not be rehoused this year, because of the sudden
call for extra accommodation for 20,000 people
exceptionally
cause
occasioned by the heavy rains in May and June.
I am
glad to say that t seems very likely the villagers will foliating
be rehoused before the end of March next year.
With regard to the arrests that were made during the demonstration, they were only made as a last resort, when the demonstrators who were causing obstruction by an unlawful assembly ignored repeated warnings from
the folice to disperse.U the 126 people arrested on
5 September, 108 were given an absolute discharge when their case concluded on 9 September. The 18 defendants convicted of unlawful assembly and obstruction, were bound over in the sum of HK$500 (£36) for one year.
In
a subsequent application for a review of sentence on
8 November, the Court ordered that no conviction be
recorded against them but the $500 bond for one year was
to stand.
