Edward Snowden, the whistleblower behind the NSA internet and phone surveillance program has come to Hong Kong because, he says, we “have a spirited commitment to free speech and the right of political dissent”. Snowden sacrificed his personal safety and freedom to defend our right to free speech and Internet freedom.
We call on Hong Kong to respect international legal standards and procedures relating to the protection of Snowden; we condemn the U.S. government for violating our rights and privacy; and we call on the U.S. not to prosecute Snowden.”
Do you want to stand for freedom and the rule of law? Or should we totally disregard Hong Kong’s legal system? This episode marks a crossroads in Hong Kong’s future. Stand up for the future of Hong Kong.
Time: 3-5:30pm, Saturday June 15, 2013. Please bring a whistle!
Rally route: Starting 3pm at Chater Garden, Central MTR exit J2. Rally to the U.S Consulate and then Tamar SAR government building.
Rally preparation: Please bring your friends, prepare for rain and try to bring water resistant posters. Slogan suggestions: “Defend Free Speech, Protect Snowden”, “No Extradition”, “Respect Hong Kong Law”, “Shame on NSA”, “Stop Internet Surveillance”, “Betray Snowden = Betray Freedom”.

揭發美國國家安全局侵犯全球互聯網和電話用戶私隱的愛德華．斯諾登目前正藏身香港，因為他相信香港「很重視言論自由和表達政治異見的權利」。他犧牲了自己的安逸的生活和自由，去捍衞大家的網絡與言論自由，這場仗不應該由他一個人來背負。
請大家站出來，要求香港政府根據本身的法律去處理和保護斯諾登；譴責美國侵犯我們的權利與私隱，要求美國政府不要壓害這位人權捍衞者。
我們亦要借這機會，告訴世界，香港市民會站出來，捍衞自由、人權和法治等普世價值。發出我們的聲音，向壓迫者說不！
遊行時間：2013年6月15日下午3點至5點半。請帶上口哨，我們都是 whistleblowers.
遊行路線：3點於遮打花園（中環站J2出口）起步遊行至美國領事館抗議，再遊行至添馬艦政府總部要求港府保護斯諾登。
遊行準備：請呼朋引伴一齊來；由於當天可能下雨，請自備一些防水的海報和橫額。遊行的口號包括：「捍衞自由港保護斯諾登」、「停止互聯網監控」、「NSA可恥」、「出賣斯諾登＝出賣自由」
