suppression committed by the Hong Kong Authority during a peaceful demonstration held by several hundred Chinese students in Hong Kong on July 7,1971. closed letter was sent to the Governor of Hong Kong to protest against the

Hong Kong authority's

The en-

(1) intended suppression of human right, particularly the right of peaceful

demonstration,

(2) use of police brutality to break up student peaceful demonstration,

(3) suppression of Chinese patriotic movement on Chinese soil,

(4) the arrest of students during the peaceful demonstration.

The above incident has caused great indignation among Chinese

people both at home and overseas. Such fascist acts will never be tolerated

by the Chinese people. We hope you would take the necessary measures to

prevent further occurrences of similar incidents.
