一群香港媽媽昨晚(7月5日)在遮打花園舉辦「生命與玻璃:香港人的選擇」集會,聲援一眾反《逃犯條例》修訂的年輕人。發起人之一的黃潔瑩說,是次集會希望聲援一眾年輕人;也有人擔心7.1大批示威者衝入立法會後,會令反送中運動失去支持,希望藉集會展示仍有媽媽支持年輕人的想法。
向香港當權者放話:放下傲慢,尊重生命,盡快接納香港人及年輕人的訴求。
主辦單位表示,有8000人出席集會;全個遮打花園都坐滿人。
A group of Hong Kong mothers held a rally “Between Human Life and Glass Panels: The Choice of HongKongers” at Chater Garden last night (5 July) to support young people who protested against China Extradition. Wong Kit-ying, one of the organisers, said that the rally hopes to provide support to the young people. Some also worried that after the Legislative Council incident on 1 July, the “No China Extradition” movement would lose support from the people. They want to show that mothers still support the young people’s ideas.
They wish to deliver a message to the authorities in Hong Kong: let go of your arrogance, respect life, and accept the demands of Hong Kong people and young people as soon as possible.
The organizers said that 8,000 people attended the rally, with Chater Garden packed to capacity.
