各位IT界朋友：

勿忘初衷和平抗爭 請IT人聯署要求政府重啟對話

佔領運動由始至今經已接近兩星期。不論是87枚催淚彈、胡椒噴霧、警棍、黑社會肢體暴力還是語言暴力，參加佔領運動的香港人都一一撐過去。暴力和謠言製造的恐懼令香港人憂慮、傷心、憤怒，無奈地看著社會逐漸撕裂。

本星期三原本舉行本年度第一次立法會會議，我本來安排了一條關於政制發展法律細節的口頭質詢和另外一條議員議案修正案，也有議員動議休會辯論警方向市民使用暴力的問題。建制派議員一直有出席其他會議，卻突然說擔心安全而不肯召開大會，明顯是逃避議會的責任。

雖然如此，自從九月廿六日晚起，我一直幾乎日以繼夜留守金鐘，看到佔領的人士無論甚麽時候、對甚麽立場的人都保持尊重，義工無微不至地照顧他人。無論各位對佔領運動的看法為何，相信都會認同黃子華所說，佔中正正顯示了香港人勇敢、和平和善良的一面。

為了化解這場危機，我和其他泛民議員一直斡旋希望促成政府與學生溝通，包括十月二日與政務司司長會面，要求她和學生展開討論。學生和政務司司長的會談本來今天展開，但可惜仍未能實現，政府昨晚又突然表示「暫不會面」，令市民感到非常失望。肯定的是，政制問題不解，香港不能向前走。

我和IT呼聲今天發起聯署聲明的簽名運動，呼籲政府、學生和各界以互信、溝通和實際行動處理爭議，堅守和平非暴力的原則去爭取屬於全體港人的真普選和民主。請各位IT朋友在10月12 日(星期日)下午2時前簽署並廣傳，一起要求政府重啟對話，支持以對話代替對立，秉持和平抗爭，為下一代爭取更好的未來！

Dear IT friends,

Uphold non-Violence Principle;
Please Support Signature Drive to Urge for dialogue

It's been almost two weeks since the start of the Occupation Movement. Its participants have endured eighty-seven tear-gas shells, plus pepper spray, batons, gangster violence and verbal abuse. Hong Kong people are worried, sad and angry, as we witness unprecedented polarisation in society.

The first LegCo meeting this year was supposed to be held this Wednesday, and I had on the agenda one oral question on legal issues regarding constitutional reform, and another amendment to a member’s motion. There was also an important adjournment motion to debate the use of violence against protesters. But pro-establishment suddenly cited "security concerns" and forced the meeting to be postponed, thus evading their legislative responsibility.

But I have stayed in my office in Admiralty almost day and night, since the night of September 26 -- witnessing the protesters were caring for each other, and the respect they showed for people of different opinions. No matter what one's view on the Occupation Movement may be, one may still agree with what famous comedian Dayo Wong said, that the protest has showed the world the courage, peaceful and kind nature of the Hong Kong people.

In order to resolve this crisis, I and other pan-democrats have been facilitating communications between the government and students, including calling for the Chief Secretary for Administration to enter into a dialogue with the students when we met on October 2. The first meeting between the students and the Chief Secretary was to be held today, but suddenly last night the government suspended the meeting, causing much disappointment to the citizens. What is certain is that if the government does not face up to the people's demand for true democracy, Hong Kong cannot move forward.

Today, IT Voice and I has initiated a signature campaign to call for the government, students and others in the community to engage in a dialogue through mutual trust, communications and concrete actions, in order to realise genuine universal suffrage and democracy by abiding to the principle of peaceful non-violence. For our IT friends, please sign before 2pm on October 12 (Sunday) to urge the government to restart the dialogue, for a better tomorrow for Hong Kong!
