A Prayer for Hope and Justice: Standing With Hong Kong’s Political Prisoners This Easter
In 2014, after Hong Kong people's bid for "double universal suffrage" failed, the "Let Love and Peace Occupy Central" movement broke out. On Oct. 9, after the Hong Kong government unilaterally terminated the dialogue, activists announced the launch of a new round of non-cooperation actions and continued to occupy the streets to pressure the authorities to fulfill their demand for universal suffrage. Most of the people in the photo, including Joshua Wong (R2) and Benny Tai (R3), are still in prison. Sung Pi-Lung/The Epoch Times

Commentary

As Easter dawns upon us, a time of reflection and renewal, our hearts are burdened with the plight of the courageous souls who have been unjustly silenced in the struggle for freedom and democracy in Hong Kong. In this posting, we offer a prayer, a heartfelt plea to our Father in heaven, for the liberation of those who have sacrificed their freedom in the struggle for justice. With special remembrance for Jimmy Lai, Benny Tai, Joshua Wong, and Hang Tung Chow, we recall our shared experiences and moments of camaraderie, seeking solace and divine intervention in the face of oppression and tyranny.
