Support the Chinese Labour activists! Postcard Campaign

2016-04-15

On 3 December, 2015, the authorities in Guangdong performed a wide-ranging crackdown on labour rights activists and labour organizations. 7 labour activists were detained or went missing, including Zeng Feiyang, the director of Panyu Workers’ Centre, and Meng Han, former staff member of Panyu Workers’ Centre. The detained activists were denied the basic right to meet with lawyers and the government news agency released defaming reports against them. This is without a doubt a brutal and illegal political repression.

The international labour movement and global civil society have since been pressuring the government of the PRC to stop the crackdown against labour NGOs.  In early 2016, 5 labour activists were released on bail.  As of 8 April, 2016, Zeng Feiyang and Meng Han remain detained.

This May Day, concerned labour groups in Hong Kong are launching a global campaign. Postcards supporting the arrested labour activists will be collected and sent to the detention centres. The world will not forget, and the international community will continue to pressure the Chinese government. Drop all the charges and release the detained labour activists!

 

How to participate in the campaign

If you are in Hong Kong:

  • Download the postcard and print them on heavy card paper (or come to AMRC to get them). (The jpg file includes the front and back of the postcard - you will have to affix the two sides together to make a postcard.)
  • Write an optional message and sign the postcards.
  • Bring or send the postcards back to AMRC before 7 May 2016 at: Flat 7, 9/F, Block A, Fuk Keung Industrial Building, 66-68 Tong Mi Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
  • All postcards from HK will be collected and sent together in one batch to the detention centres in China.

 

If you are outside of Hong Kong:

  • Download the postcards, print them on heavy card paper. (The jpg file includes the front and back of the postcard - you will have to fold it in half and affix the two sides together to make a postcard.)
