敬 自由 / 蔡焜霖

71年前，1950年的9月10日，蔡焜霖先生被逮捕了。
理由是高中二年級時參加過讀書會，而罪名是「1949年5月參加叛亂組織並曾為叛徒散發傳單」。
.
整整10年後，1960年的9月10日，他才回歸自由身。
此後，他人生的任務就是讓世人知道，當年那些年輕人是清白的。
.
71年後，外交部在今年聯合國推案影片《敬 自由》中，我們留下了蔡焜霖前輩的影像與口白
.
『所有的歷史都有黑暗
但不是所有的國家都願意面對
要繼續前進
我們首先必須正確地認識自己
我們有全世界最長最長的戒嚴時期
如今，我們過去所經歷的遺憾
能夠成為未來人們活得更自由的一小部分基礎
這是我們這個國家的勇氣』
.
如果聯合國的重要任務之一是要讓國家尊重人民的權利，台灣的夥伴價值值得聯合國重視。

在此感謝

To Freedom / Tshua Khun Lim

Mr. Tshua Khun Lim was arrested on September 10, 1950.
The reason for his arrest was the “crime” of attending a study group in his second year of senior high school. Accused of attending an insurgent organization in May of 1949 and having once distributed leaflets inciting rebellion, Tshua was imprisoned for ten years before regaining his freedom on September 10, 1960.

Since his release, his mission in life has been to clear the names of all those that were falsely imprisoned at that time.

71 years later, he has been featured in MOFA's UNGA short film "To Freedom" and speaks his own truth saying:

"All histories have their darkness, but not every country is willing to face up to it. To move forward we must first recognize our true selves. Ours was the longest period of martial law in the world. Today, all those sorrows we experienced in the past are built into a modest foundation for more freedoms in the future. This is where our country’s courage lies."

If the UN states part of its mission as encouraging countries around the world to respect the rights of their people, Taiwan's vision of global partnership can serve as a valuable reference.

【10.20集結案】

//2019 年 10 月 20 日九龍遊行案，前民陣召集人陳皓桓、民主黨前主席何俊仁、社民連前立法會議員梁國雄等 7 人，被指煽惑他人參與未經批准集結、組織未經批准集結等。7 人早前承認控罪，法官胡雅文今（1 日）在區域法院判 7 人監禁 11 至 16 個月。除了黃浩銘，其餘被告的刑期與早前 8.18、8.31、10.1 未經批准集結案刑期同期執行。//

以下是文遠的感言：

【吳文遠 - 10.20九龍遊行案件感言】

這是一宗政治案件，所以我認為這篇陳詞適合放在政治脈絡下開展。

我們生活在急劇轉變及充滿挑戰的時代。基於政府所謂「安全」的理由，記者、報館、網台主持、學者、教師、學生、藝人、歌手、工會人、社運人、民意代表以及許多市民，都一一被迫沉默，以至逐個被拘捕、檢控、囚禁。

尤有甚者，「安全」的定義還在不斷挪移及擴大。昨日出版的一篇報紙文章、一次演講、一種主張、一個標語，今天都可能被視為對「安全」的威脅。

短短數年前那些通常被判罰款或社區服務令的行動，現在會被判監禁。這裡曾經存在和而不同及真誠辯論觀點的言論空間，但現在只剩下觸目驚心的紅線。

每天都帶來法規的重新演繹，每天都突破荒謬的下限。有他們的眼中，現在甚至連兒童繪本都成為了對「安全」的威脅。

問題無可避免地浮現：究竟這些法規是要保護誰的「安全」？是公民的自由，抑或是實際上已經非常有權力的人的權力？

我們追求怎樣的秩序？這些法規的設計，是為了所有公民能夠享有法治、自由、公平競爭及繁榮的機會嗎？還是旨在引領我們進入一個政府不受挑戰及不受限制的時代？

我們發現自身正處於一個這樣的時代，人們需要作出看似簡單卻極為困難的選擇——就如哈維爾所指——我們要活在真實中，還是要服從於謊言及荒謬？

在我追求的真實生活中，我們只是像《國王的新衣》中的小孩那樣呼喊：「喂，國王根本冇著衫喎！」

【Avery Ng: On October 20 Kowloon Rally】

This is a political case, so I think it is appropriate to frame my remarks within the political context of this matter.

We live in rapidly changing and challenging times. Journalists, newspaper publishers, broadcasters, academics, teachers, students, artists, singers, trade unionists, political activists, democratically elected representatives, and many other citizens are being silenced, arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned by the Hong Kong government for supposed reasons relating to “security”.

What’s more, the definition of this “security” is constantly shifting and expanding. A newspaper article published yesterday, a speech, an opinion, a slogan--even a gesture may be treated as a threat to security today.

Actions that would have previously and sometimes rightly merited community service or fines just a few short years ago, now lead to the possibility of jail. Where once there was the space to disagree agreeably and debate ideas honestly. Now there is intolerance.

Every day brings a new re-interpretation of the rules. Every day we reach a new level of absurdity. Even children’s cartoon books have now reached the status that they are seen by some as a threat to “security”.

The inevitable question arises: Whose security is being protected--the liberty of citizens? Or are these laws in fact protecting and securing the power of the already-powerful?

What kind of order are we seeking? Are these laws designed to uphold the rule of law, ensure freedom, a level playing field, and the chance of prosperity for all citizens? Or are they meant to usher in an era in which the government can rule unchallenged and unchecked?

In the times that we find ourselves in, one needs to make a choice that is at once simple yet immensely difficult. As Vaclav Havel writes: Do we live in the truth? Or conform to lies and absurdity?

In my pursuit to live in the truth, we are merely the kid who yelled “hey, the Emperor wears no clothes.”

A Latvian man who was imprisoned in Taiwan for robbing several ATMs in 2016 has completed his prison sentence and was deported Monday evening, according to the National Immigration Agency (NIA).
https://focustaiwan.tw/society/202108300019

Pak Zaim is a good man who has been unjustly imprisoned. He is a leader in sharing knowledge of freedom and serving his community. I'm here sharing his story because he MUST BE FREED!

On the 2nd of February 2021 in Depok Indonesia, Police arrived at Pak Zaim's home and arrested him. The reason for his arrest is not very clear, but it has something to do with the Muamalat Markets he organised.

For the past 10 years, he has set up over 25 markets around Indonesia where people were able to trade following the same practices as the marketplaces during the time of the Rasul (saw). Completely Halal trade free of corruption. Free of riba!

Inside the markets, people were allowed to exchange items as they wished. Free trade. Barter trade. So long as there was mutual consent between both parties, the trade was allowed. And one of the prominent forms of trade, was with gold and silver coins. Dinar and Dirham.

Pak Zaim took it upon himself to mint coins to a standardized size and weight to facilitate trading within the market. These standards follow the same weight as the Dinar and Dirham used during the time of the Rasul (saw).

Nothing he was doing was illegal. The markets he set up were like any other Pasar you may see in Malaysia, Singapore or Indonesia. He was not claiming to produce Rupiah or any other form of legal tender. He was simply giving his people a way to trade with Halal commodities.

If you'd like to know more, please do reach out. I want to do all we can to get him out. He's been there for a month already, but we need to show the Indonesian government that Pak Zaim is innocent of any charges against him. I testify for him!

Please do share this video as much as you can! Thank you
