We, all of us relatives of the patriotic Chinese who are being unjustifi- ably detained in the Mount Davis concentration camp, boiling with rage, accuse the Hongkong British authorities of persecuting our relatives with fascist measures.
Our relatives were all illegally kidnapped by police and special agents sent by the Hongkong British authorities after the outbreak of the May Upheaval and have since been unreasonably kept under detention and sub- jected to political persecution. They consistently love our motherland, love our great leader Chairman Mao. At their different posts, they have worked and made their contributions to the community. But the vicious Hongkong Eritish authorities persecuted them just the same. When our relatives were abducted, some of them were working as usual at their places of work, others were resting or sleeping in their homes or walking in the street. Is it guilty to work, to rest, to sleep or to walk in the street? Though the Hongkong British authorities have kidnapped our relatives and held them in detention for a long period, they have failed even to conjure up a single charge against them. Take the following example to illustrate the lawlessness of the Hongkong British authorities. Liu San, Chairman of the Stone-cutters' Union, was abducted from his home in the middle of the night by the Hong- kong British police and special agents. Trumped-up charges were brought up against him in the 'court'. But as the judge could not convict him, he had to have him released. But no sooner had Liu San come out of the 'court' than he was seized by agents of the 'special branch' and thrown into the con- centration camp. Thus one who had been acquitted and released by the 'court' was abducted by the 'special branch'. This fact brought to light, to the full, that the 'laws' of the Hongkong British authorities are all devices to deceive the people. They had long ago become odious, but now the last fig-leaf was torn off them by none other than the Hongkong British
authorities themselves.
Another well-known incident happened on March 14 this year when, to persecute Fu Chi and Shih Hui, the Hongkong British authorities deported them in a vain attempt to create a precedent. With the support of the Government and people of the motherland and the support of the four million Chinese compatriots in Hongkong and Kowloon, the couple waged a gallant fight setting their feet firmly on the Lowu Bridge. This not only foiled the 'deportation' plot of the Hongkong British authorities but also landed them in a fix. At that time, the Hongkong British authorities were forced to declare through a loudspeaker that Fu and Shih were 'released'. But on March 15, just as the patriotic film couple were on their way home, they were abducted for the second time by Hongkong British police and special agents at Sheungshui and were again put in the concentration camp. This fact showed that the 'laws' as well as the words from the mouth of the Hongkong British authorities were nothing more than lies.
This is how our relatives were thrown by the savage Hongkong British
