Hong Kong bishops’ appeal over standoff at HK Polytechnic University

285

The three bishops of the HKSKH express deep concern regarding the conflict at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. We sincerely wish that the crisis may be settled peacefully through efforts from all sides.  

We further appeal to all stakeholders to exercise self control, so that the crisis may be resolved without violence,  but with reason, empathy and legitimacy. We hope that all young students may go home to their families safely.We believe that all who dwell on earth are children of God, that renders us brothers and sisters to each other. We ardently wish that we may learn to live together in forgiveness, embrace, love, justice and peace.

May God bless and keep our City!
