我们澳大利亚、加拿大、新西兰和英国的外长及美国国务卿，对香港政府不公正地取消候选人资格及不当推迟立法会选举感到严重关切。这些举措破坏了民主进程这一香港稳定与繁荣之根本。

We the Foreign Ministers of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, and the United States Secretary of State are gravely concerned by the Hong Kong government’s unjust disqualification of candidates and disproportionate postponement of Legislative Council elections.  These moves have undermined the democratic process that has been fundamental to Hong Kong’s stability and prosperity.

 

我们对北京强行实施新的《国家安全法》深表关切，该法正在侵蚀香港人民的基本权利和自由。

We express deep concern at Beijing’s imposition of the new National Security Law, which is eroding the Hong Kong people’s fundamental rights and liberties.

 

我们支持香港人民通过真正自由、公平和可信的选举来选举立法会议员的正当期望。我们呼吁香港政府恢复丧失资格的候选人的候选资格，以便选举能够在有利于行使民主权利和自由的环境中进行，正如在《基本法》所庄严载入的。北京在于联合国备案的条约《中英联合声明》中曾承诺在“一国两制”原则下给予香港人民自治和自由，它必须履行其承诺。我们敦促香港政府尽快举行选举。

We support the legitimate expectations of the people of Hong Kong to elect Legislative Council representatives via genuinely free, fair, and credible elections.  We call on the Hong Kong government to reinstate the eligibility of disqualified candidates so that the elections can take place in an environment conducive to the exercise of democratic rights and freedoms as enshrined in the Basic Law.  Beijing promised autonomy and freedoms under the “One Country, Two Systems” principle to the Hong Kong people in the Sino-British Joint Declaration, a U.N.-registered treaty, and must honor its commitments.  We urge the Hong Kong government to hold the elections as soon as possible.
