國家/政府的暴力
昨夜得知台灣的樂生院今早會有三百警察包圍, 在眾多問題如環調, 地下水...年老院友的安置等未能解決的情況下, 遭清拆, 為捷運新線施工. 情況與香港的天星, 皇后一樣, 警察強暴地將民眾拉走, 進而無情地清拆.
還有香港的紥鐵工人, 罷工已經一個月，地產商會表明不需要商會賠償工程延誤費用，間接鼓勵紥鐵商會延長與紥鐵工人的談判, 但政府傾向商家, 以自由市場作藉口，未有積極協助工人面對勞資糾紛, 已有工人家人在期間上吊了. 應該介入的時侯不介入, 視人權無物, 視人命草芥, 國家/政府的權力就是在這樣地方展現的嗎?

Using drama to raise awareness and challenge misconceptions about
asylum seekers and refugees in Hong Kong
While Hong Kong was built with the energy and drive of many refugees, the general
public knows very little about asylum seekers
and refugees in Hong Kong today. Thousands of people from all over
the world fled persecution in their home country and now live here
with us, but who are they? why did they leave? why did they come to
Hong Kong? what is their life like here?
It is unfortunately not easy for refugees to tell their stories. As
they struggle for basic survival and often have to remain in hiding,
they are a vulnerable and invisible community. Theater is the
perfect medium to let their voices be heard without revealing their
identity, nor forcing them to recount their traumatic experiences. A
play based on UK refugee stories has been performed there for more
than a year and proved an invaluable advocacy tool:
http://www.iceandfire.co.uk/actorsforrefugees
We're looking for volunteers to write/produce/direct a production
which will help the local public understand what it means to be a
refugee in Hong Kong today. In order to reach the local Hong Kong
community, the play should be in Cantonese. But if there is enough interest, we could
also have an English or bilingual version.

Hi, Sarah. I remember you. We meet at the seminar about a.s. and refugees before. It's nice to hear from you and your idea looks sound really. But I have just started an evening study now, I afraid I have no time to join it. I will send it to my network. Would you please send it to Davy (HKCI), She will send it to some more people too. Thank you very much for your invitation and info.
