Kidnapped Hong Kong
Lee Bo (李波), the person in charge of Causeway Bay Books (銅鑼灣圖書), has been unseen since he went missing on the 30th of December 2015. On January 10, Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China (香港支聯會) launched a demonstration in protest over this political kidnapping and to support the 'one country, two systems' principle. The demonstration, which made its way from the West Wing Central Government Offices on Tim Mei Avenue to the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Western District, attracted the participation of at least 49 organizations and thousands of people.
With huge misgivings over China’s position on the ‘one country, two systems' principle, the people of Hong Kong are demanding that the Chinese government clarifies its position and at the same time release Lee Bo and the other four missing employees from Causeway Bay Books.
Although the demonstration’s main demand was for the release of Lee Bo, from the variety of slogans, viewpoints and flags on show, it is clear there is great anxiety over Hong Kong’s autonomous status and future. “Today Lee Bo, tomorrow Hong Kong” summed up the understandable worry, especially the loss of freedom of speech and the right to personal freedom.

被綁架的香港
香港銅鑼灣書店負責人李波2015年12月30日失去聯絡,目前下落不明。香港支聯會於1月10日下午發起遊行,堅持一國兩制,並抗議政治綁架。遊行至少有49個團體參加,幾千人的隊伍由添美道出發,到西環中聯辦,要求中國政府澄清港人對一國兩制的疑慮,同時釋放李波和其他四位失蹤的銅鑼灣書店員工。
儘管遊行以尋找李波爲主要訴求,從各種標語、主張和旗幟看,遊行人士對香港日漸消失的自主地位與未來,不免感到憂慮,也難怪他們會擔心「今日李波、明日香港」,特別是言論自由和人身自由的喪失。
