HK refugees protest to call for S**wden?s pardon
The former National Security Agency contractor, who released thousands of classified documents revealing the vast US surveillance put in place after the September 11 attacks, currently lives in Russia. He fled with documents to Hong Kong, where he hid among Sri Lankan refugees in cramped tenements, and later received political asylum in Russia after the United States revoked his passport while he was en route to Ecuador. The New York Times reported he stayed with at least four refugees with the help of a human rights lawyer in the southern Chinese city. Protesters said the city´s refugees, many of them forced to live in slum-like conditions, and S**wden both suffered rights abuses. "We are forced to leave our country like S**wden. We stand together with him to fight for pardon," a 36-year-old refugee from Indonesia, who only gave her name as Dede, told AFP. Around 50 protesters chanted "Pardon S**wden" and "We are **t criminals" as they marched to the US consulate, with some holding placards that read "** racism. Stop Oppressing refugees". Protest organisers said 11,000 refugees have applications for protection pending but have ** official status and ** right to work. "The Hong Kong government thinks refugees are criminals... but they are true heroes. They helped Edward S**wden escape the US government back in 2013," Sally Tang of Socialist Action told reporters at the rally. أكثر... ??????? ??????: HK refugees protest to call for S**wden?s pardon || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
