Mr. Lee <BR><BR>I am Asia Pacific worker Solidarity links (APWSL) my
organisation deeply concerned about the 14 demonstrators still held in police
custody in Hong Kong, following the rally of December 17, 2005. I/we (my
organisation) call upon you to immediately release them, and drop all of the
charges. <BR><BR>Over the past few weeks, dozens of peaceful rallies were
organized in Hong Kong. Furthermore, the local and international community was
deeply moved by the sincere actions of demonstrators and expressed their
strong support to the Korean peasants. <BR><BR>During the whole demonstration,
there was no damage to private shops or public property. Police labeling of
this incident as a “riot†is totally misleading and completely
untrue.<BR><BR>I</P></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=4>'</FONT><FONT
face="Browallia New" size=4>m APWSL regret that the police force used
unnecessary excessive force during the rally, on December 17, 2005. Tear gas
was applied without prior warning to the public and reporters on the spot. We
regret the fact that considerable numbers of demonstrators and Hong Kong
citizens were injured by water cannon and tear gas and express our deepest
concern to all injured people. <BR><BR>Many international NGO and trade union
representatives were present in Hong Kong during the WTO conference, and
joined in the rallies and actions together with those presently kept in
custody. The international community will continue to closely monitor the
situation of the detainees and the actions of the Hong Kong authorities. We
sincerely hope you will hear our call and release all detainees
unconditionally and without pressing charges. <BR><BR>Sincerely,
<P><BR>Parat Na nakorn</P>
