Solidarity Message for/with Pro Democracy Social Justice Struggles in Hong KongPax Romana- ICMICA and IMCS Asia Pacific

We the Pax Romana family would like to extend our solidarity to all the brave protesters of the prodemocracy movement in Hong Kong. In the protest of recent days which led from the build up in the pastweeks, we are inspired to see peoples of different classes and even nationality gather as a sign of protestagainst the anti democratic policies as imposed by the China government. Being inspired by the studentsand intellectual movement ourselves, we are particularly inspired by the student movements of Hong Kongwho bravely took part in the protest despite knowing the risks of violent reprisals from the authorities. Weare sure these brave students will inspire students from all over the world to be more participative in socialjustice issues in their own country and internationally.

Self determination and democratic elections at all levels are essential component of human rights andsocial justice and must be respected by all leaders without any form of repression on those promotingthem. We urge the government of the Hong Kong SAR to respect the demands of the majority of peoplesas they have clearly made their message and demand of sovereignty very clear. The usage of force todisperse the peaceful protesters are clearly a violation of rights and we urge that those guilty of suchatrocity to be charged under the respective laws. Justice denied also hinders democratic process and ruleof law and this is further jeopardizes national building.

Last but not least, we once again reaffirm the peoples of Hong Kong that they are not alone in thestruggle for democracy and can always count on our solidarity support and beyond. We also urge thatHong Kong and China to further develop peoples solidarity for justice that goes beyond the governmentsbureaucracy on both sides.

In Solidarity,
