Support Hong Kong Democracy
Dear Right Honourable members of the Cabinet,
Hundreds of Thousands of Hongkongers are now taking part in the pro-democracy Occupying Central movement, in light of a recent decision ruling out full and real universal suffrage for 2017 elections by the Chinese Parliament. They have been staying on the streets since last Saturday night (27/9).
As full democracy in Hong Kong was solemnly promised in the Sino-British Joint Declaration which Britain was a signatory, we loyally, by this our humble Petition, request Her Majesty's Government to uphold Britain's duties to monitor the implementation of the Joint Declaration. We also appeal to Her Majesty's government to make it clear to the Chinese central authorities that any effort to crackdown peaceful demonstrations by force will be strongly opposed and severely punished.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
