各位曼城的香港人:
我是村姑，Athena’s Army 其中一位創辦人。除了在Athena的角色，我也是一位Poly被捕的示威者、前初選選舉經理、前社區主任。 流亡在外，除了成為流亡手足，我也成了「流亡家長」。
免卻了簽證的煩惱，我比其他手足較快安頓好，開始用着自身的住所接待手足，用我女司機恐怖的駕駛技術接載手足。成為「家長」，令我在初期最孤獨的時候得到了救贖；成為他們的支柱，令我堅強起來。
Athena’s Army是一個生活支援平台，受眾是給予者和受助者，在網站上，你們會看到照料衣食住行的不同功能，但網站外，我們希望承載的是一份同甘共苦的連繫，只有香港人心連心，才會有光復香港的一天。
在香港能夠獨立之前，我們物理和思想上需要獨立安好，行動上需要團結同行，10月1日，我很有幸，能與一眾理念相近的手足同台，告訴中共，我們不會被分化，面對獨裁恐怖分子，我們只會走得更近。
我們會分享身在海外的我們有甚麼可做; 兩年多過後，我們要怎樣繼續向前行。
就是前路茫茫，我們才要牽着手摸着黑走過去。
10月1日 6PM Piccadilly Gardens見
一息尚存 煲底相見
村姑

【WRITE TO YOUR MP】 📢Ask the UK Govt to take actions on Hong Kong🇬🇧
一人一信：向你所屬選區的國會議員表達你對香港局勢的關注
自蘋果日報被迫停刊，香港局勢正急速惡化，民間組織被迫解散；記者、評論人、民選代表，以至平民皆被無理拘押、控告或限制出境。同時間，大量港人經BN(O) Visa遷移英國。無論閣下身處英國何方，皆為英國合法選民，有權向所屬選區的國會議員表達意見。
為了推動英國政府加快行動，盡早實施馬格尼茨制裁，及為更多有迫切需要的港人提供救生艇計劃，我哋邀請各位花啲時間，發電郵俾自己居住地區的國會議員，表達您作為British National，對香港事務的關注，以及要求政府作出相應措施。
現附上✉️電郵template及📌列出要點，望閣下能以自己的文字完成全文。模板及要點非硬性規定，您可以按個人所想作出增刪，表達您的訴求。
Since the forced closure of Apple Daily, the arbitrary interpretation of law is posing real threats to journalists, commentators, democratically elected leaders, and civilians. Concurrently, a record number of Hong Kongers have immigrated to the UK. No matter where you choose to reside, you are all legal voters of the country and have the right to express your concerns to your elected representatives.
To push for government actions on implementing sanctions and providing lifelines to the many in immediate danger, we ask each of you to write to your MP on the situations in Hong Kong.
We enclose below a ✉️template email with 📌key points for you to write to your MP, encouraging them to escalate your concern to the relevant parliamentarian or department.
—————————————
SUBJECT: UK Govt to take actions on Hong Kong
Dear [Insert MP Name],
I'm writing as a constituent to ask her majesty's government to take action on the rapid deterioration of human rights situation in Hong Kong.
The recent forced closure of Apple Daily newspaper has aroused yet another wave of white terror where laws have been arbitrarily interpreted in a bid to justify the escalating crackdown on press and speech freedom. The fundamental rights of Hong Kongers are severely undermined. As a signatory of the Joint Declaration, I ask the government to take immediate actions in response to the deteriorating situation of Hong Kong.
With the ongoing reform in the Nationality and Borders Bill, the UK government should extend the eligibility of the BNO visa scheme to Hongkongers :
a. born after 1997 with parents holding BN(O)s as a sole applicant;
b. born before 1997 in Hong Kong with rights to register BN(O)s but did not due to acts of omission such as inability as a child;
c. provide a more just procedure for refugees applicants from Hong Kong.
Provide emergency visa for journalists, politicians, public figures whose work are hugely restricted and unsafe to continue with.
Impose Magnitsky sanctions on Hong Kong and Chinese officials responsible for human rights crime and these officials’ immediate family members.
Allow Tier-5 Working Holiday visa application for HKSAR passport holders from within the UK and accept applications on a rolling on-demand basis. Those eligible for the scheme and already within the border can apply for a formal status to stay and live in the UK.
Continue to align with like-minded allies to exert pressure on China to live up to its international obligations and provide a lifeboat scheme to the people of Hong Kong.
I believe the UK government should take a firmer stand to defend Hong Kong and its freedom-loving people, and propose genuine punitive causes to those who have dismantled the city's autonomy.
I look forward to hearing your response in due course.
Yours sincerely,
[Insert Your name]

譴責強烈譴責
〔回顧事件〕
10月1日集會後，我們遊行前往曼城China Town，遊行隊伍曾經喺四個地方停低，分別燒毁五面中國國旗、拋擲雞蛋、施放狗糞、釋放煙霧。 四個地方分別為: 中國銀行、中國城牌匾、兩間位於中國城過去曾表示支持國安法嘅店舖。 以上所有行為均於以上地點嘅五米範圍內發生。
〔面對強烈譴責〕
其實冇咩要面對😂
嚟緊嘅方向始終如一，同喺10月1日嘅文宣上寫嘅一樣: 我哋唔想錯過任何一隻需要援助嘅手，我哋要照料好自己人，先有革命嘅本錢。
對於香港人嚟講，對抗極權，發起革命係第一次。冇人完美，如果我哋有做得唔好嘅地方，大家可以同我哋講。
而今次，喺中銀、牌匾下、黑店前嘅「垃圾」，其實係我哋小小嘅心意。
〔local點睇？〕
難得咁多人留意到我哋，當然我哋要用呢個機會向大家講吓，我哋嘅平台《驛站》上係有專欄㗎，其中一位專欄作家係非常本地嘅本地人，佢喺認識咗我哋成員之後，了解咗Athena’s Army理念之後主動希望可以幫手嘅一位熱心本地人，對於今次事件，佢出多咗篇文章，大家有興趣可以睇一睇延伸閱讀: https://athenas.army/bob-james/

今次聲明最主要係，畀大家有一個更加明確嘅畫面究竟事情真相係點樣，亦想借呢個機會多謝同行嘅人，另外六位cohost、無名手足、仍然堅持緊嘅香港人。
〔我真係好撚多謝你哋〕
多謝你哋嘅方法，係毋忘初心。
所以在此，同大家重申多一次，Athena’s Army係一個支援手足衣食住行嘅平台，有需要嘅手足記得TG我哋，想成為家長嘅人都可以到平台登記。
老老實實，希望多啲實事，唔需要再出呢類嘅聲明。呢啲天氣，瞓番個回籠覺好過？🎶有邊個唔想做個小小廢青 被逼挺身不惜與綠魔交織🎵

【驛站專欄 —— Bob James第二期】In Support of Flag Burning
On Friday, another assembly took place to discuss the issues Hong Kong is currently facing and to encourage more political action, including writing to local members of parliament. An incident took place that has caused much debate online. We Brits might call the fallout to this, ‘a storm in a teacup’, that it has been exaggerated out of proportion. There was no destruction of local property, there was no raging fire – all that was burned was a simple flag. You will find no local news stories supporting the narrative that anything more happened than this. There is no outcry from locals, I have looked for it and as a local, I know where to look. The idea that this has or will cause any locals to look unfavourably upon Hong Kong or on any students from China or Hong Kong is ridiculous.
Flag burning is legal in the UK, it is protected under freedom of speech laws in the USA, and across the west is recognised as a fine gesture of political dissatisfaction. In this instance, once the truth of what happened on Friday is considered, the only people who have any reason to oppose this gesture are those who welcome what Hong Kong has become under CCP rule.
You might think and others might say that there are more civilized forms of protest, and there might be a good argument in that if civility had been shown to the Hong Kongers in exile here in the UK. There’s also the power of evocative images. We all know the power of images, we’ve felt it when viewing the iconic photograph of that man standing before a tank in Tiananmen Square for example. Flag burning works as a political gesture because it is a shocking image. It should make some people uncomfortable because political battles are uncomfortable. Do we forget that 2 million people marched in protest of the extradition law? Do we think an oppressive regime that has beaten, broken and killed for its own point will listen to peaceful words and gestures? A burnt flag is nothing compared to what must be done in the fight for freedom from a brutal regime. Let a thousand flags be aflame as a cry for freedom and justice!

【驛站專欄 —— Clara CHEUNG 第一期】新界東北的景觀
Http://athenas.army/column/
小時候曾在元朗、屯門居住，後來在北區粉嶺生活過好幾年，十多年前也積極關注菜園村事件，所以對我來說，城市與鄉郊的景觀對比，應該一點也不陌生。可是，當我在2013、14年於《新界東北STYLE 生活可以是這樣的》 巡迴藝術展中(1)，看見一系列由不同藝術家在香港邊境拍攝的作品時，我還是覺得震撼。
當年正值港共政權推出迅速發展新界東北計劃，引起民間社會不滿。當中，包括一群藝術家，看不過眼政權繼菜園村後，再大力以推土機摧毀家園、破壞生態，於是他們也參與護村行動，以藝術創作去回應議題。《新界東北STYLE 》的參展藝術家當年主要在坪輋一帶，與村民一起推動不同的文化行動，向其他因種種原因未有機會接觸到香港鄉郊文化的都市人，解說「原來生活可以是這樣的」，讓更多香港人了解護村的重要。有個別的藝術家甚至在守護家園行動告一段落後，繼續留在坪輋居住，後來還與村民一起推動坪輋舞火龍慶典，一方面祈盼火龍為村莊帶來吉祥，另一方面也藉此凝聚社群。
當年的展覽中，有不少攝影作品以簡單直率的手法，呈現香港邊境風光。例如，蔡旭威以360廣角照讓觀眾從香港新界向北挑望，見到密集的高樓在深圳河以北聳立，一遍灰塵滿佈、迷霧彌漫的景象。在容學勤鏡頭下的香港夜景中，我們看到的並非都市繁華，而是在深圳過度發展的城市燈光襯托下，香港靜寂漆黑的美。
香港著名於世，莫過於商廈林立的繁華都市景觀，但隨著人類文明的逐步發展，過去二、三十年間全球的重要趨勢，反而是關注如何去補救因人類過度發展所造成的惡果： 放棄推土機式城市發展，更注重綠色生活的推廣。香港都市發展至今，早已超越「發展是硬道理」的階段。
當然，香港北部與深圳接壤的地區，自英治時期，都維持於低人口密度的鄉郊狀態，也有其軍事考慮： 讓天然屏障把香港邊境清晰地確立。而近日，港共特首林鄭月娥再積極重提新界北發展(2) ，一方面與香港文明進程背道而馳，另一方面，她亦不畏言，說要盡快落實一地兩檢等邊境措施，很明顯新界北的都市發展，重點是要把香港邊境徹底鏟除。新界東北的保育，不單是要捍衛綠色生活、保護環境生態，也是要從根本的地理景觀中去維持中港區隔，確定香港領土範圍。
我近日在Athena’s Army於曼徹斯特組織之《我不自殺聲明 文獻及藝術展覽》中，也以馬草壟小山丘上看到的景觀作為背景。山丘上，盧亭人魚(3)從靜土中緩緩起來，想著如何為這遍綠悠悠的土地做些什麼 ⋯⋯

我近日在Athena’s Army於曼徹斯特組織之《我不自殺聲明 文獻及藝術展覽》中，也以馬草壟小山丘上看到的景觀作為背景。山丘上，盧亭人魚(3)從靜土中緩緩起來，想著如何為這遍綠悠悠的土地做些什麼 ⋯⋯

【驛站專欄 —— 拔刀J 第一期】睇漫畫都可以改變時代 ── 從和月伸宏《浪客劍心》講下幕末維新
從一個香港人角度去睇，從幕末到明治呢段日本歷史，係好有啟發性。不過，千祈唔好抱住一種“人哋得，點解我哋唔得”嘅心態，咁樣只會令你嘔血同埋生cancer。因為時代唔同、背景唔同，有好多嘢就係人哋得我哋唔得。不過，幕末明治呢個時代係好值得我哋去認識同埋研究，裡面唔同嘅人物，佢哋嘅思想、視野、志向、操守、氣節。最重要嘅係，呢段歷史裡面基本上係冇任何黑白忠奸正派反派嘅立場論。當年，無論係幕府、攘夷派、維新派 etc，每一個人都覺得佢係為佢嘅時代同埋佢嘅信念去奮鬥，未必人人都好清楚所謂新時代應該係點樣，但係每個人都有犧牲自己性命嘅覺悟。

【驛站專欄 —— 栩翎 第一期】失根的遊子
不論因由，身在英國的我們，是切切實實的離開了故土。
離開得倉卒，沒來得及好好說再見，頃刻便成了失去了根的遊子。說實話我倒挺羨慕新聞上那些扶老携幼在機場送別的家庭，而我？與很多手足一樣，離開前只告知了兩三好友，家人因擔心引來注意而沒有前來，許多摰親都是在我離開後才得知。這一別，或許是永遠；對暴政的恨，也是永恒。

一個平凡的香港少年。
從讀書時代至初踏社會，所學所涉均離不開政治，從小對自由國度的嚮往，使我甘願化作一枚箭羽，合眾人之力，為故土、為自由而戰。因著2019年反送中運動而成為香港第六屆（最後一屆）民選區議員，又因不甘屈服於腐敗不堪的港共政權而於2021年6月辭任。
辭任後本無打算離港，卻遇上一波又一波清算的傳聞，權衡過後，最終倉忙隻身赴英。
現正在濁世間尋找自我，卻仍努力實踐在應許之地與各人重聚。前路雖愈來愈難行，但我相信只要繼續以公義、良知為信念，香港一定會迎來真正的自由。

【驛站專欄 —— Bob James 第四期】Sweets to the sweet
// The importance of art and the importance of stories in a movement cannot be understated, they become symbols to stand behind that are more striking and lasting than any living individual can be. While we need individuals to stand up and take action, individuals can be discredited, they can be killed and wiped from memory. Stories which are harder to kill, even if they are the story of an individual – this is the birth of Urban Legends.
We need to keep telling stories about the struggle for freedom, for people to rally around. A good Urban Legend needs a face – might one day someone like Chan Yin-Lam, might her story one day become the stuff of legend, could she become Hong Kong’s Candyman, an avenging spirit invoked to fight injustice. Could we fight behind such a banner? //

［ATTENTION]
我哋嘅反共戰友 - 澳洲嘅Drew Pavlou，佢喺2019-2020年期間就曾經因支持香港民主運動而差啲被University of Queensland移取學籍。早前亦於溫布頓網球公開賽聲援彭帥而被當地當作「恐怖份子」去處理。Drew兩日前原本約咗我哋Athena's Army攞港獨旗為之後嘅活動所用，但其後Drew卻因為獨自一人於倫敦中國大使館抗爭而被捕，CCP將佢交給英國警方時稱佢為炸彈襲擊嘅恐怖份子，而家Drew好有可能面對七年徒刑！！！
希望大家能夠支援Drew，唔好令Guildford Four嘅悲劇再度發生。
