「光復香港」百日宣言(中英對照版)

編按:反送中運動至今延續逾百日,一眾運動文宣組成員起草《百日宣言》,上周五(20日)首先於連登討論區發表,其後翻譯成英文版本。《立場》獲授權全文轉載如下:
堅決抗暴ㅤ力爭普選
Liberate Hong Kong – The Hundredth Day Declaration
Our Resolute Fight for Universal Suffrage and Battle against State Violence
反送中運動(外媒稱為「流水革命」)自6月以來,特區政府無視民意,縱容警隊為所欲為;親政府傳媒惡意抹黑示威行動;港鐵淪為暴政幫兇。特區政府作為始作俑者,刻意製造矛盾,欲把民間的視線從其施政失敗中轉移,激化仇恨,摧毀港人多年來苦心建設經營的香港。
Since the start of the Anti-Extradition Law Movement in Hong Kong (which some foreign media have termed “Water Revolution”) in June, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“HKSAR”) government has consistently ignored public opinion and condoned the unchecked actions of the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF). Meanwhile, pro-government media have mounted a malicious smear campaign against the protesters, and the MTR has turned into an accomplice to tyranny. As the instigator of the city’s woes, the Hong Kong government deliberately created social divisions and fueled hatred in our community, in an attempt to turn public attention away from the failures of their administration. The government is now destroying Hong Kong, home to generations of people who have worked to build it. 
現運動已逾百日,去向未明。一方面,政府欲以正式撤回修例平息風波;另一方面,示威者不斷被打壓與抹黑,警黑暴力問題變本加厲,真相與正義繼續蒙塵。鑑此,我等認為必須向廣大市民再次強調「以武制暴」之必要性,並重申爭取「真雙普選」的立場。
The movement has lasted over 100 days and it is still unclear how events will unfold. On one hand, the government has attempted to quell the storm by formally withdrawing the extradition bill. On the other hand, protesters continue to face a relentless smear campaign on top of the government’s ever-tightening grip, an intensification of police violence, while truth and justice continue to be denied. We believe it is therefore necessary to once again emphasize to the general public the necessity of ‘Containing Violence through Force’, and to reiterate our call for ‘Genuine Universal Suffrage’. 



香港警察ㅤ知法犯法
特區政府ㅤ包庇行兇
Shielded by the Government, 
HK Police Force Knowingly Breaks the Law 
警隊身為執法者,被授與公權力,為本港唯一可以合法使用致命武器的組織,理應本著畢業誓詞中「不畏懼,不徇私,不對他人懷惡意的態度」行使權力,並受嚴格監察。
As law enforcers entrusted with public power, Hong Kong Police Force (“HKPF”) is the only organization in Hong Kong whose members can legally bear arms. As such, every member of the police force should abide by the oath they took during their passing out ceremony: “I will execute the powers and duties of my office honestly, faithfully and diligently without fear of or favour to any person and with malice or ill-will toward none”. Equally, they should expect strict scrutiny when they exercise their power.
可是多個月來,警員刻意隱藏身分,屢次違例卻毫無後果。在鏡頭之下,對裝備簡陋、已被制服的示威者濫用私刑;縱容黑幫及其他自稱「愛國」的人士,毆打無辜市民;鏡頭以外的811新屋嶺事件和831太子站事件真相未明,社會白色恐怖瀰漫,人心惶惶,警方尚欠社會大眾一個公道。
However, over the past few months, police officers have deliberately hidden their identities and repeatedly violated protocols with no consequences whatsoever. In front of cameras, the police have taken the law into their own hands by beating up subdued protesters. At the same time, they have turned a blind eye to attacks on innocent citizens by triads and pro-China groups. Away from the cameras, what exactly happened at Sun Uk Ling Holding Centre on 11 August and at Prince Edward MTR station on 31 August remain a mystery. White terror pervades the whole society. The police owe the public the full and honest truth. 



警隊施暴之所以無後顧之憂,全因有特區政府在背後撐腰。政府透過新聞稿及記招譴責示威者,為警隊開脫,變相縱容包庇警暴、催生私刑。當執法者得以凌駕法律,法治基礎已被當權者親手摧毀。將香港推向危險邊緣的不是暴徒,是暴政。
The police have acted with impunity given firm support from the HKSAR government. In various press releases, the government has defended police brutality by saying that the police have acted to restore law and order. However, it is the governing authority and the law enforcers themselves that are eroding the legal system and law enforcement. It is their own tyranny which has pushed Hong Kong to “the verge of extreme danger,” and yet still they blame the protesters.
2019 年 7 月 1 日,示威者一度佔領立法會,並留下「是你教我和平遊行是沒用」塗鴉。
There are No Rioters but only Tyranny.
「是你教我,和平示威是沒用的。」
“It was you who taught me (us) peaceful marches are useless.” 
當一切和平合法的抗爭方法失效,抗命便不應限於遊行示威,我等逼不得已將手段升級,「以武制暴」是正當之舉,更可謂是我等之責任。目前,不少市民仍對「以武制暴」的抗爭模式存有恐懼和誤解。我等在此重申,抗爭者絕不以廣大香港市民為敵,從未、亦絕對不會無故攻擊普羅大眾、記者、醫護人員,甚至政見對立之市民。各種激烈的行動,均是對準特區政府及其附庸。示威者破壞港鐵,實因其背棄全港市民,全力配合警方施暴;7月1日示威者衝擊立法會,全為控訴制度之不公不義;公開制裁黑幫暴徒,全因警隊包庇黑幫暴徒,令他們能肆意在721元朗無差別式毆打,和近日在荃灣、北角以長棍、水喉通、菜刀等等武器襲擊市民。
As all lawful, peaceful means of protest have been proven futile, acts of civil disobedience with stronger force and resistance to combat the tyrannical government and their aggressive allies are inevitable. To “contain violence with force” is an act of justice, and our responsibility towards the people. This declaration could easily be misunderstood and cause concern. Therefore, we hereby solemnly stress that none of us had nor will ever show unwarranted hostility towards anyone, including innocent citizens, the press, first aiders or people of opposite opinions. Any forms of escalated force target only the despotic ruling body and its accomplices in its reign of terror. protesters have destroyed MTR facilities, because the MTRC turned its back on Hongkongers and fully cooperated with the HKPF in its use of violence. The symbolic occupation and destruction of Legco on 1 July was an outcry against injustice in the political system. As a result of the inaction of the HKPF towards indiscriminate attacks using sticks, steel pipes and knives in Yuen Long, Tsuen Wan and North Point, there is an urgency to combat and restrain the triads and thugs with minimum yet necessary force.
執法人員眾目睽睽之下選擇性執法,拘捕被襲者,保護施襲者,抗爭者絕不應、亦不會自綁雙手於道德高地,任由同伴以至普通市民承受無差別攻擊。我等別無他法,唯有「以武制暴」。「以武制暴」目標有二:第一,保護自己及同伴,作合理自衛;第二,是為了阻嚇施暴者,防止更多市民被傷害。再次重申,我等在行使必要武力時,決不無故主動或無差別攻擊市民。我等希望所有市民明白,「動武」非為洩憤,而是為了自保,更是為了「制暴」。我等一心為公,必堅持為民請命。
Police officers have continued to enforce the law highly selectively, arresting the wounded while protecting the attackers in full view of the public. We shall not sit back and fold our hands on a moral high horse, as our comrades and fellow civilians are exposed to the danger of being indiscriminately attacked. We have no choice but to “contain violence by the use of force” with two basic objectives. First, as a reasonable act of self-defense to best protect ourselves, our companions and other civilians, from random acts of abuse. Second, for the sake of ensuring the safety of all, to deter potential perpetrators from harming members of the public. Again, we will never actively or indiscriminately attack people. It is important for all to understand that such force is employed for self defense and halting violence, instead of venting anger. We believe in justice and we shall not cease to stand up for our people.
五大訴求ㅤ缺一不可
真雙普選乃一切基礎
Genuine Universal Suffrage is the foundation to the Five Demands
我等重申五大訴求:
一、撤回《逃犯條例修訂》
二、成立獨立調查委員會,追究警隊濫權
三、立即實行真「雙普選」
四、釋放所有被捕示威者,並承諾不作起訴
五、取消所有「暴動」定性
We hereby reiterate the Five Demands:
Permanent withdrawal of the Extradition Bill
Establish an Independent Commission of Inquiry into abuse of power by HKPF
Dual and genuine Universal Suffrage (for both the Legislative Council and the Chief Executive)
Release all arrested protesters, and a pledge that they will not be further prosecuted
Retract all characterization of “riot”



對於特首林鄭月娥日前宣布正式撤回《逃犯條例修訂》草案,我等表示歡迎,可惜為時已晚。問題的核心,在於體制腐敗:特區政府無能、中共政權亂港、黨官商鄉黑警勾結等。顧今日香港之弊,源於人民的天賦權利被剝削,以致缺乏監察之政府警隊視民意如糟粕。撤回之舉,已無法修補因體制腐敗而出現的裂痕,我等堅拒小修小補:五大訴求,缺一不可!實行「真雙普選」,更可謂是至關重要。
Although Chief Executive Carrie Lam has formally withdrawn the Extradition Bill, the move has regrettably come too late. The crux of the problem lies in the corruption of the system: the incompetence of the HKSAR Government, the intervention and turmoil caused by the Chinese Communist Party (“CCP”) regime, the collusion between the CCP, HK Government, businesses, triads and police, etc. The HKPF could therefore ignore the basic civil rights, interests and safety of the public. The current withdrawal of the Bill will not mend the rift of the corrupted system. We refuse a patchwork remedy: “Five Demands, Not One Less”! The implementation of genuine universal suffrage, is therefore of utmost importance.
現時特區政府,無論行政或立法機關,均無須向香港人負責。行政機關方面,特首受中央擺佈,因此她無需聆聽數次過百萬人上街的民意聲音。從9月2日路透社公開的一段錄音中,林鄭親口承認她「無得揀」,證明「港人治港,高度自治」名存實亡。立法機關方面,現行議會只有一半是由香港市民一人一票選出,另一半是認受性嚴重不足的功能組別。更甚者,最近幾次選舉中,選舉主任褫奪候選人資格的事件,證明選舉制度已被行政機關操控,民意被制度所踐。如此制度下,多數變成少數,任何政府提出的方案,均可以輕鬆通過,如「一地兩檢」、各項大白象工程等等。是次風波更是鐵證:若非6月12日群眾決心對抗,《逃犯條例修訂》早就被通過。
The current SAR government, be it the executive or legislative branch, bears no genuine accountability towards Hongkongers. With respect to the executive branch, the Chief Executive is proved to be loyal to the CCP instead of  the millions of Hong Kong people who staged protests throughout the past months. From the audio recording published by Reuters on 2 September, Carrie Lam admitted that she “had no choice”, affirming that the principles of “Hongkongers ruling Hong Kong” and “a high degree of autonomy” are void claims. With respect to the legislative branch, only half of the members in the current Legislative Council are democratically elected, while the other half are returned by ‘functional constituencies’ that are accused of small-circle votes which  lack legitimacy. The disqualification of elected candidates in recent elections further erode the legitimacy of the council. The electoral system is evident to be manipulated by executive authorities. The Legco could hence easily pass any government bill, such as the high speed railway link check’s co-location bill among other white elephant projects. The anti-extradition law crisis is solid proof of the dysfunction nature of the system to monitor the government and to represent views from the public. Indeed, without the mass resistance outside the Legco on 12 June, the bill would have long been passed.
中央政府稱《基本法》為「全國性法律」,神聖不可侵犯,但其中第45條及第68條給予香港人民的普選承諾卻一拖再拖。眼見人大常委,扭盡六壬,左解右釋,由2007年拖到2012年,再拖到2016年,最後祭出一個831框架,強令港人張嘴吞下。然而港人拒絕妥協,「我要真雙普選」之聲響徹雲霄。我們深信:香港的領導者與全數議事堂代議士必須由沒有篩選的普選直接產生。如此要求,一步也不能讓。
The Chinese government claims that the Basic Law is a national law – sacred and inviolable, but it keeps delaying in granting Hongkongers the right to universal suffrage, as promised in Article 45 and Article 68. We saw how the Standing Committees of the National People’s Congress tried to make up reasons for such delay from 2007 to 2012, dragging on till 2016 and eventually forcing Hongkongers to accept an electoral reform under the “831 framework” with pre-screening of candidates. However, Hongkongers refused to compromise and strongly voiced “Universal Suffrage now”. We demand that all leaders and lawmakers of Hong Kong to be elected by direct elections without any pre-screening, and we will not concede to anything less.
人治之禍,始於香港沒有民主的議會和政府。我等強調,若不希望重蹈覆轍,政制必須由根本改革,亦只有由「真雙普選」選出的政府,才能確實回應民意,落實其他四項訴求。「真雙普選」,使當權者無法漠視民意,失去政府包庇的警暴、鄉黑將得以徹查。如此,香港才能力挽狂瀾,保住法治之都的美譽。
The absence of a democratically elected legislative council and government is the root cause of this disastrous rule of man. Therefore, we would like to emphasize that our political system needs fundamental reform to avoid repeating the same mistake, and only a government elected by “genuine universal suffrage” can truly respond to public opinion and implement the four remaining demands. “Genuine Universal Suffrage” means the authorities will no longer be able to ignore public opinion, and brutal police officers and triad members can be thoroughly investigated, and the government will cease its current sheltering of them. This is the only way to turn the tide and preserve Hong Kong’s reputation as a city governed by the rule of law. 



光復香港,ㅤ時代革命
逆權之路ㅤ港人同行
Hong Kong people will stand together in this uphill battle: 
Liberate Hong Kong, The Revolution of Our Times
6月9日以來,各國對港人之不屈勇毅皆有所聞。我等既有大破之覺悟,亦有大立之智勇。運動已破百日,眾人未忘已逝英魂、與被捕手足同在、心存義憤,銘記「光復香港,時代革命」,希望社會大眾團結一致,共同對抗暴政。逆權之路絕不易走,但香港早已無路可退,雞蛋亦不惜以身抗暴、撼動政權。
Since June 9, the world has witnessed the fortitude of the Hongkongers. This period has marked our yearning for a monumental breakthrough, and the awakening of wisdom and courage to achieve an unprecedented victory. Moving past the 100th day of this battle, we shall never forget those who have sacrificed themselves and have been arrested. We shall commemorate the spirit of “Liberate Hong Kong, the Revolution of Our Times”. The community shall stand as one against tyranny. The path against tyranny is an arduous one. However for we Hongkongers there is no turning back. Our flesh is weak, but our will to resist the governing authority and its violence is resolute and persistent.
「祈求民主與自由萬世都不朽,我願榮光歸香港。」
“May people reign, proud and free, now and ever more.” — Glory to Hong Kong
最後,致眾當政者:香港人韌力非凡,國際有目共睹。若你們繼續執迷不悟,無意答應香港人訴求,我等必定與政權周旋到底。若希望「東方之珠」重回正軌,我等非得雙普選而後停息。一切,只在你們一念之間。
Last but not least, to the incumbent Government: we have demonstrated the strong resilience of Hongkongers to the international community. If the Government refuses to admit its own fault and to accept the five demands in full, we must contend and fight until we accomplish what we demand. There are no other ways to restore the aura of the Pearl of the Orient other than to respect and accept the people’s voices. We shall not surrender until a guaranteed dual universal suffrage.
