Please note that in the addresses given for the above Urgent Action, the number for the Governor is in fact a fax number, not a telex number; the Governor does have a telex number: 73380 GOVHK HX. The Security Secretary also has a telex number, which is: 72669 HAB HX. The Security Secretary's fax number should be 5 845 0995. We are very sorry for these errors. The addresses for appeals to be sent to Hong Kong therefore read:
Sir David Wilson
Governor
Mr G T Barnes
Secretary for Security
Office of the Governor
Government House
Victoria, Hong Kong
Government Secretariat Lower Albert Road Hong Kong
Telegrams: Governor David Wilson, Telegrams: Security Secretary

Amnesty International is an independent worldwide movement working for the international protection of human rights. It seeks the release of men, women and children detained anywhere because of their beliefs, colour, sex, ethnic origin, language or religious creed, provided they have not used or advocated violence. These are termed prisoners of conscience. It works for fair and prompt trials for all political prisoners and works on behalf of such people detained without charge or trial. It opposes the death penalty and torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment of all prisoners.
