‘No justice, no peace’: Meet the anti-war collective protesting for Palestinians – from faraway Hong Kong

HK Anti-war Mobilization consists of no more than a half dozen members. Amid a social climate where political action has become muted in the city, the activists have made a personal choice to oppose wars and align with oppressed people in Ukraine and Gaza. by James Lee08:30, 23 November 2025 Why you can trust Hong Kong Free Press Tourists and shoppers in Tsim Sha Tsui were greeted by an unusual sight on October 7, the second anniversary of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

2025 和平營共同宣言

自 2014 年以來,和平營連結了沖繩、濟州、台灣與更多島嶼的人民。今年,我們再次相聚於基隆,以「生活空間的軍事化」為共同主題。來自不同語言、世代、性別、身份與背景的我們,因為共同的願望而聚集:在軍事化陰影加深的此刻,尋求和平、正義與新的安全想像。 我們的共同認識 我們的最終共同遠景是活在一個任何國家都不需要軍事化的世界。 遺憾的是,我們看到土地、天空、太空和海洋正被軍事化吞噬。 自沖繩戰役中以來,沖繩就被當作是日本本土的「墊腳石」,並為此持續犧牲。及後,沖繩又被迫作為日本和美國的「軍事基地之島」。在過去的 80 年裡,沖繩居民的日常生活一直受到軍事化的侵蝕。同時,安倍政府用「台灣有事」一詞向公眾製造危機意識,並未致力於和平外交,並無視當地居民的意願,持續在琉球群島推動及加強自衛隊基地的建設。 在韓國,美軍基地的建設和跨國軍工複合體的擴張,正造成暴力和環境破壞。美軍群山空軍基地的擴建和新萬金機場的興建維穩了殖民佔領,並破壞了重要的蘇拉濕地,影響候鳥遷徙的路線。在濟州島,韓華系統公司正在「地下水受保護區」建設太空中心。然而,尹錫悅總統的戒嚴令的失敗,正顯示出普通人民的力量,能拒絕日常空間的軍事化,並證明去軍事化生活的可能。 面對中國政府持續的文攻武嚇,台灣被迫面對興起的戰爭威脅,台灣社會發展出一套備戰至上思維,社會空間正在被恐懼與動員壓縮,呈現敵我分化的二元對立,戰爭陰影讓人們彼此猜疑、分裂,社會運動甚至被標籤為敵人。和沖繩與濟州一樣,金馬被鑲嵌在犧牲鏈之上。移民、原住民、移工等族群的生活空間遭受侵蝕。 在香港,「一國兩制」並未帶來平等、自由、民主、解放與和平,中國政府對香港的政治、法律、媒體與公民社會進行高度控制,自治(民眾的共治)空間大幅削弱;高度軍事化的香港警察,強力鎮壓及逮捕示威者,使香港如今成為威權警察國度。 在中國,...
