國際公教學生運動對香港一四學運的支持信函：「呼籲團結一致」

中文重點翻譯：

我們希望與香港民主運動的所有勇敢抗議者團結一起。
在過去幾個星期的抗議活動，我們因看到不同階層，甚至民族的人民聚集抗議對中國政府反民主政策而感到鼓舞。這種鼓動不但來自於學生和知識份子的參與，我們特別因著香港學生儘管知道暴力報復的風險，仍然勇敢地參加了是次的佔領行動。我們相信這些勇敢的學生將會激勵來自世界各地的學生在世界中爭取社會公義。

自決和民主選舉是人權和社會公義的重要組成部分。我們敦促中國政府尊重廣大人民的訴求，因為他們已經清楚表達了民主和自主的訴求。武力驅散和平示威者顯然是侵犯了權利，武力使用者必須為其暴行而負上法律責任。若公義不能彰顯，也必會阻礙民主進程和法治，進一步危及國家建設。

我們再次重申，香港的人民，在爭取民主的道路上，他們並不孤單。我們也促請香港和中國社會團結一致以戰勝各自的政府。

團結一致，
阿德里安·佩雷拉，副總裁（亞洲）

We the Pax Romana family would like to extend our solidarity to all the brave protesters of the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong. In the protest of recent days which led from the build up in the past weeks, we are inspired to see peoples of different classes and even nationality gather as a sign of protest against the anti democratic policies as imposed by the China government. Being inspired by the students and intellectual movement ourselves, we are particularly inspired by the student movements of Hong Kong who bravely took part in the protest despite knowing the risks of violent reprisals from the authorities. We are sure these brave students will inspire students from all over the world to be more participative in social justice issues in their own country and internationally.

Self determination and democratic elections at all levels are essential component of human rights and social justice and must be respected by all leaders without any form of repression on those promoting them. We urge the government of China to respect the demands of the majority of peoples as they have clearly made their message and demand of sovereignty very clear. The usage of force to disperse the peaceful protesters are clearly a violation of rights and we urge that those guilty of such atrocity to be charged under the respective laws. Justice denied also hinders democratic process and rule of law and this is further jeopardizes national building.

Last but not least, we once again reaffirm the peoples of Hong Kong that they are not alone in the struggle for democracy and can always count on our solidarity support and beyond. We also urge that Hong Kong and China to further develop peoples solidarity for justice that goes beyond the governments bureaucracy on both sides.

In solidarity,
Adrian Pereira, Vice President (Asia)-Pax Romana ICMICA
