[By our press] Today is the nineteenth commemoration of the fall of Saigon, Au Lac. According to information, some Au Lac refugees detained in Hong Kong planned to commemorate with self incineration, to protest against the forced repatriation policy of the Hong Kong Government. There is rumor that more than a hundred persons have signed the death pledge, and is prepared to "wake up the world with their death". Therefore, the Correctional Department Services has already sent in reinforcement to handle emergencies.
On the other hand, more than thirty Formosa Legislators wrote to the Hong Kong Governor Patten, wishing the Hong Kong Government would negotiate with the Au Lac Government on the refugees issue. They also wish Chief Lian Jian of the Formosa Executive House, on account of humanity and human rights, would urge the Hong Kong Government not to handle the relocation of the refugees in inhuman ways.
