Governor of Hongkong Hongkong
Dear Sir:
On July 7, 1971, our fellow Chinese countrymen in Hongkong staged a peaceful demonstration for the defense of Tiao-yu T'ai as Chinese territory. They were brutally dispersed by the police. Twenty-one demonstrators were illegally arrested, and many more were seriously anjured.
We as overseas Chinese students strongly protest this fascist brutality, : and demand that the following actions be carried out immediately by the British Authority in Hongkong.
1. Drop all charges against all those who were illegally arrested.
2. Compensate those who were injured by the police.
3. Issue an open apology regarding the incident.
4. Reprimand all officials responsible for the brutal incident.
5. Guarantee that there will be no further suppressicon of any
patriotic movements in Hongkong.
Sincerely yours,
