    REQUEST   FOR   THE   RELEASE   OF   MR.   LIU   SAN   QING

    Hong   Kong   resident   Mr.   Liu   San   Qing,   now   31   years   old,   graduated   from   Science   Faculty   of   the   University   of   Hong   Kong.   Originally   a   computer   sales   engineer,   was   arrested   by   the   Chinese   Security   Office   when   touring   to   Guangzhow   on   December   25,   1981.

    At   first,   the   Security   Office   refused   to   disclose   the   reasons   for   his   arrest,   until   later   it   was   known   that   Mr.   Liu   was   arrested   under   criminal   law   article   102   for   counter-revolutionary   activities,   sentenced   to   10   years'   imprisonment   and   deprived   of   3   years'   political   freedom.

    The   event   caused   great   sensation   in   Hong   Kong   and   abroad,   and   it     was   generally   acknowledged   that   he   was   arrested   without   adequate   (giver   evidence   and   with   excessive   sentence.   Recently,   eight   Hong   Kong   organisations   have   endorsed   a   letter   and   endorse   to   the   People's   Court   of   Canton,   to   China   News   Agent,   and   to   Mr.   Ji   Peng   Fei,   the   head   of   the   Hong   Kong   and   Macau   Affair   Office.   To   date,   no   reply   has   been   received.

        For   the   last   3   years,   Mr.   Liu   was   allowed   communication   with   his   family   in   Hong   Kong   once   every   3   months.   The   letters   were   normally   short   and   Mr.   Liu   mentioned   that   everything   was   fine   in   prison.   According   to   Mr.   Liu's   father   who   paid   him   a   visit   to   the   prison   in   rural   Guangzhou   a   few   months   ago,   it   is   believed   that   Mr.   Liu   is   still   imprisoned   there.

        As   a   member   of   the   Hong   Kong   Society,   we   hope   to   express   our   opinions   of   the   case:

1. Not   a   serious   case,   yet   excessive   penalty  

    It   is   understood   that   Mr.   Liu   only   expressed   his   genuine   concern   for   the   future   of   the   democratization   of   the   People's   Republic   of   China   and   was   concerned   about   the   family   of   the   political   prisoners.   It   is   a   bit   too   much   to   sentence   him   to   10   years'   imprisonment   and   deprive   him   of   3   years'   political   rights.

2.     Changing   society,   not   counter-revolutionary

      In   fact,   Mr.   Liu   was   a   social   activist   who   had   joined   the   work   of   teaching   in   a   laborer’s   night   school,   supported   the   Jubilee   Secondary   School   teachers   and   students   struggling   for   return   to   original   school,   supported   the   Yaumati   boat   people   pleading   for   moving   on   land.   All   this   evidence   was   seem   to   us   quite   adequate   to   justify   our   conviction   that   Mr.   Liu   had   been   striving   for   the   betterment   of   society.   It   is,   therefore,   totally   out   of   character   that   he   should   have   committed   any   counter-revolutionary   crimes.     3.   Requesting   for   amnesty   after   3   years'   imprisonment

    Up   to   the   present,   Mr.   Liu   has   been   deprived   of   3   years'   freedom.   Even   if   he   had   committed   a   small   crime,   he   should   have   been   released   now.   Beyond   the   criminal   laws   itself,   article   102   is   equivocal.   We   request   that   the   Chinese   Government   grant   an   amnesty   to   Mr.   Liu   as   soon   as   possible,   so   that   he   can   reunite   with   his   family   and   continue   his   meaningful   social   commitment.
