CFHK and 53 international organisations write to UN in urgent appeal, alleging systematic torture in Hong Kong prisons
CFHK等53國際組織去信聯合國緊急呼籲 指香港監獄有系統地虐囚
Fireworks lit up both sides of Victoria Harbour for the Chinese Communist Party’s National Day, but could not change the international community’s view that human rights in Hong Kong have deteriorated. The Hong Kong Committee for Freedom Foundation (CFHK), along with more than 50 international human rights organisations and overseas Hong Kong groups, jointly wrote to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, calling for an investigation into systematic torture in Hong Kong prisons. The letter specifically mentioned the prolonged solitary confinement of Jimmy Lai, Leung Kwok-hung, Chow Hang-tung and Joshua Wong, as well as their being forced to undergo thought reform.
