專業團體聯合聲明
6月9日有超過一百萬名市民上街遊行，反對政府硬推《逃犯條例》修訂，並要求特首林鄭月娥下台。但政府仍然視民意如無物，既執意於6月12日在立法會恢復二讀草案，林鄭於6月10日早上提出的四點回應，也毫無誠意，只是為了硬闖立法鋪路。對政府如此漠視強大民意及各方勸諫，我們要作出最強烈的譴責，政府必須為由此而激起的衝突，負起最大的責任。
我們在此強烈要求政府立即撤回逃犯條例修訂，否則林鄭須兌現競選承諾下台，而港人的抗爭亦一定會堅持不休，直至政府撤回逃犯條例修訂，直至政府施政真正做到尊重民意。
面對政府恃權傲慢，公民社會必須繼續團結，發揮最大的民間力量，促使官員尊重民意。人權不容剝奪，民意浩浩蕩蕩，人民勢不可擋。

Joint Statement by the Professionals
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN: WITHDRAW THE EXTRADITION BILL!
On the 9th of June, hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong people marched against the Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2019 (the “Extradition Bill”), and called for the Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, to step down. In blatant disregard of the people's voice, the government has tabled the bill for second reading, which is to take place on the 12th of June.
In the morning of 10 June, Carrie Lam raised four points in response to the march on the day before; her response lacked sincerity and indicated her intention to press forward with the legislation.
We condemn the government in the strongest possible terms for its deliberate disregard of strong public opposition to the bill and its apathy towards censure from all sides. The government must take primary responsibility for the conflict that ensued since it was provoked by the government’s scornful treatment of measured opposition.
We now demand that the government immediately withdraw its Extradition Bill, failing which, Carrie Lam must deliver on her campaign promise to resign because she no longer has the public’s support.
The people of Hong Kong stand steadfast in their opposition of the Extradition Bill and will not retreat until the administration takes proper account of public opinion and withdraw the bill.
In the face of political hubris, civil society must stand in resolute solidarity and exercise the power of the people. Those in power should respect the will of the many. Deprive us not of our human rights. The people have spoken, and the tide of public opinion cannot be suppressed.
