今天(7月9日)凌晨4时,香港特首林郑月娥女士会见了记者,就逃犯条例的现状做出进一步声明。
4 am today (9th Jul), Hong Kong Leader Carrie Lam met with the press to update on the current situation of the extradition bill.
据她称,这次修例“完全失败”,这项条例“已死”,希望香港市民可以给她和政府机会和时间来把香港带出目前的困境并改善现状。
According to her, this work on the Bill had been a ‘total failure’ and the extradition bill is ‘dead’. She asked the public to allow the government and herself the opportunity and time to ‘take Hong Kong out of the current impasse and try to improve the current situation’.
然而,一些抗议人士并不满意林郑女士的发言。原因其一是形容条例“已死”并不是一个法律术语。
However, some protesters are not content with her speech, reason number one being that describing the Bill as ‘dead’ is not a technical legal term.
抗议者同时表示如果香港政府不能达成他们的五项要求,游行抗议还会继续。
They also expressed that the protests will go on if the Hong Kong government fails to meet their five demands.
上述五项要求包括:彻底撤回条例、调查警方暴力行径、释放扣押示威人士、修改对游行“暴动”的定义和重新普选。
The five demands include: full retraction of the Bill, an investigation into police brutality, release of arrested protesters, amendment of previous classification on the protest as ‘riot’, and a call for universal suffrage.
