HONG KONG - URGENT FWD
@ | 31.03.2002 12:51
In HONG KONG thousand of children are to be deported to main land China from mid night unless their parents agree to send them back.
This despite the fact that the parents ( who cannot live in china because of
the one child policy had secured a victory in the hk courts 3 years ago.
Some of the parents have already given in and sent the children back ,others have pledged to go on Hunger Strike and attempts are still being made to secure a stay through the courts.
This is a major HUMAN RIGHTS scandal that has been ignored by the media it is reported on the BBC site below but has received scant coverage on the Radio itself and none it seems in the main stream press. A search for Hong
Kong Children on the Human Rights Watch site a few weeks ago secured a negative result
please check www.bbc.co.uk click on asia pacific under world news then scan down to Hong Kong families
.......
If some of these families are going to fight on they need to be supported. Even at this late stage it may be possible to help them. Please circulate this far and wide
