【 收合餘燼，背城借一 ──大專學界就白色恐怖時代降臨告港人書 | Resist, however long and hard the road may be - A Letter from Students’ Unions of Higher Institutions to all Hongkongers 】

今日，學生動源前召集人鍾翰林、前發言人何諾恆及前成員何忻諾各自於其寓所內被警察國安部人員上門拘捕，據稱被捕罪名為「煽動他人分裂國家」，亦有消息指可能有更多成員被捕。是次拘捕為國安法自六月三十日生效以來，首次有巿民被國安人員直接上門拘捕。

大專學界於此向全體香港人宣告，白色恐怖年代，正式降臨香港。鍾翰林等人作為白色恐怖下，遭受上門拘捕的第一道破窗，香港人絕不能置若罔聞。大專學界呼籲所有香港人繼續密切關注事件，並警告港共政權勿恣意妄為，因整個國際社會都正在注視著其一舉一動，任何侵犯人權之惡行都必會招來惡果。

未來，可預視將有更多港人身陷赤共魔爪中，但誠如愛爾蘭詩人貝克特所言：「我走不下去了。我會走下去。」香港人必定要秉持若水之志，戰勝恐懼，繼續於最艱難年月中，留一口氣、點一盞燈。過去一年，香港人背城借一、負隅頑抗，已徹底撕破中共的面具，使其邪惡本性原形畢露。天下圍共之勢已成，自由世界已站於香港人一邊。與暴政周旋，不爭朝夕之短長。只要在難彌堅，只要信念不滅，抗爭星火終有燎原之日。我等堅信，香港人終將迎來我城重光之日。

Today, the former founder of Studentlocalism, Tony Chung Hon-lam, the former member, Ho Yan-nok, and the former spokesperson, Ho Nok-hang were arrested in their respective residences by police officers from the National Security Department. Reportedly, they were charged with “inciting secession or undermining national unification”. This is the very first direct home arrest ever since the implementation of the National Security Law on the 30th June.

Hong Kong has fallen into the Era of White Terror. Students’ Unions of Higher Institutions hereby urge Hongkongers not to connive at the atrocities of the communist regime but to stand up against the oppression by any feasible means. To the tyrannical communist puppets, we warn that the world is watching. Any further crimes you commit will not go unseen.

It is crystal clear that more and more Hongkongers would have to endure the Communist terror. But as Samuel Beckett, an Irish poet, said, “I can’t go on. I will go on.” Hongkongers shall uphold the Be-Water spirit and continue to fight on in the darkest times. In the past year, Hongkongers have fought the battle against tyranny as if it was our last, revealing the Chinese communist regime’s true colour and unearthing its malignant nature. The free world has stood with Hongkongers against Communist aggression. Perseverance is vital to winning the war against tyranny. We shall continue defending Hong Kong with hope until widespread of the flames of resistance. May glory be to Hong Kong.
