Chow Hang-tung placed in solitary confinement over June 4
鄒幸彤六四被單獨囚禁
Former vice-chairwoman of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China Chow Hang-tung staged a 34-hour hunger strike today. Former Hong Kong Federation of Students secretary-general Jonathan Ching Wa Chan said prison authorities arranged for her to be transferred, for another reason, to a separate cell known colloquially as the “water-rice room”. The Correctional Services Department told Light Media that it would not comment on individual cases. Amnesty International disclosed recently that Chow wrote back to a friend in Taiwan last October. In the letter, she lamented, “I never imagined that I would now become the recipient of letters,” and thanked her friends for writing to her, saying, “With your support, how could I possibly give up?”
前支聯會副主席鄒幸彤今日進行34小時的絕食，學聯前秘書長陳清華稱，她遭獄方以另一理由安排她轉倉至俗稱「水飯房」的獨立囚倉。懲教署回覆《光傳媒》指，不會就個別個案作出評論。而國際特赦組織日前披露鄒幸彤去年10月回信給台灣朋友，她在信中慨嘆「想不到現在竟成為收信的對象了」，又感謝寄信的朋友，「有你們支持著，又怎可能放棄呢！」
