The Assembly of Citizens’ Representatives, Hong Kong (hereinafter referred to as “the Assembly”) adopted the following motion via circulated documents on 24th December, 2024:
The Assembly of Citizens’ Representatives, Hong Kong, together with 28 Hong Kong elected representatives, has issued a public statement in response to today’s court ruling on the 2020 Legislative Council election primary case. The statement asserts that this so-called verdict confirms the core principles of Hong Kong’s judicial system have been fundamentally violated and are now effectively non-existent. With the CCP unilaterally dismantling the separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, the Sino-British Joint Declaration has been rendered void.
We call on the international community to: 1 Condemn the unjust verdicts: Recognize and respond to Peking’s unilateral breach of the Sino-British Joint Declaration and its destruction of Hong Kong’s democratic values. 2 Sanction all involved individuals (full list includes 40 judges, prosecutors, government officials, and senior police officers) 3 Launch rescue efforts to release all political prisoners.

The Assembly of Citizens’ Representatives, Hong Kong (hereinafter referred to as “the Assembly”) adopted the following motion via circulated documents on 12th June, 2024:
Motion of June 12 (六一二動議)
On June 12, 2019, to oppose the Hong Kong SAR government’s plan to force the second and third readings of the amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance, Hongkongers spontaneously took to the streets. In Admiralty, through the power of the masses, they successfully prevented the bill from progressing in the legislative process on that day. During this period, both Hongkongers and the international community witnessed the Hong Kong SAR government’s use of governmental force—Hong Kong police— to arbitrarily assault Hong Kong citizens and international media, demonstrating the corruption of the Hong Kong police force. The Hong Kong police’s unlimited use of violence, including firing tear gas without warning into legally assembled areas, further evidenced the lawlessness and human rights violations under the Public Order Ordinance which was already not aligning with the international standard of human rights. Our assembly calls on all sectors of Hong Kong to remember their original intentions and, under the spirit of upholding freedom, the rule of law, and the democratic system, to continue pursuing the goal of “sovereignty for the people” in their respective positions and locations.

The Assembly of Citizens’ Representatives, Hong Kong (hereinafter referred to as “the Assembly”) adopted the following motion via circulated documents on 9th June, 2024:
On June 9, 2019, to oppose the Hong Kong SAR government’s forced push to amend the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance, 1.03 million Hongkongers took to the streets. However, the government remained unresponsive and planned to proceed with the second and third readings of the bill on June 12. This awakened Hongkongers to the realization that without a true democratic system, a genuinely free society cannot exist. In the five years since then, freedom in Hong Kong has drastically declined, democracy has significantly regressed, civil society has been forcibly dismantled, and the economic and living conditions have rapidly deteriorated under the incompetent rule of the Hong Kong SAR government and its allies. Our assembly will continue to represent the will of Hong Kong citizens, connecting with Hongkongers from all sectors, and calling on everyone to unite and resist tyranny in various ways to build a free and radiant Hong Kong.
