General strike by Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions against the government today. The trade unions demand: 1) Police must release the arrested protestors immediately. They must guarantee the basic human rights of the arrested protestors during retention. 2) The government and police must stop suppressing the peaceful assembly and apologize to the people. 3) National People’s Congress must withdraw the ‘fake universal suffrage’. The Hong Kong government must restart the consultation of political reform. Workers have been demanding a fair election system to rectify the longstanding problem of the business-leaning government. However, the ‘fake universal suffrage’ framework proposed by NPC is merely ‘old wine in a new bottle’. 4) Chief Executive Leung Chun Ying must step down to bear the responsibility of violent suppression of protest.
