2026年10月25日中国民主进步联盟悉尼集会：反对跨国镇压，青年跨境发声

2026年10月25日，中国民主进步联盟在澳大利亚悉尼Town Hall举行和平集会。本次活动由中国民主进步联盟宣传部长纪懿宸、组织部长倪永久共同组织，围绕反对跨国镇压、关注新疆与西藏人权、纪念北京四通桥事件四周年、关注彭立发处境、宗教信仰自由以及海外异议人士安全等议题展开。

On 25 October 2026, the China Democracy Progressive Alliance held a peaceful rally at Sydney Town Hall in Australia. The event was jointly organised by CDPA Publicity Minister Yichen Ji and Organisation Minister Yongjiu Ni. It focused on opposing transnational repression, drawing attention to human rights in Xinjiang and Tibet, marking the fourth anniversary of the Beijing Sitong Bridge protest, highlighting the situation of Peng Lifa, defending freedom of religion and belief, and protecting the safety of overseas dissidents.

活动由中国民主进步联盟宣传部长纪懿宸主持。主持词介绍，中国民主进步联盟是在澳大利亚依法注册的民间组织，长期关注民主、自由、人权与法治议题，并在当天集会中明确提出反对跨国镇压、关注新疆和西藏人权、纪念四通桥事件及关注宗教信仰者处境等诉求。

The rally was hosted by CDPA Publicity Minister Yichen Ji. In his opening remarks, Ji introduced the China Democracy Progressive Alliance as a civil organisation legally registered in Australia that has long focused on democracy, freedom, human rights and the rule of law. He outlined the rally’s calls to oppose transnational repression, raise awareness of human rights in Xinjiang and Tibet, commemorate the Sitong Bridge protest and focus attention on the circumstances of religious believers.

此次集会的一个特别环节，是一名目前仍生活在中国大陆的17岁青年“启茗”通过录音方式发表讲话。由于其身处中国大陆，无法亲自来到悉尼现场，他通过突破网络封锁获取中国大陆难以接触的信息，并以录音方式将自己的声音带到悉尼Town Hall。主持人在播放录音前表示，“距离可以阻隔我们的相聚，却无法阻止一个年轻人表达自己的声音。”

A special part of the rally was a recorded speech by “Qiming”, a 17-year-old young person who still lives in mainland China. Unable to attend in Sydney in person, he bypassed internet restrictions to obtain information that is difficult to access in mainland China and brought his voice to Sydney Town Hall through an audio recording. Before playing it, the host said: “Distance may prevent us from gathering together, but it cannot stop a young person from expressing his voice.”

启茗在录音中表示，自己从小在中国教育体系中成长，随着年龄增长开始思考为什么政治、历史和不同观点不能被自由讨论。他表示，希望年轻人能够自由获取信息、独立思考，并明确反对中共长期垄断政治权力及习近平任内不断加强的个人集权。他在发言最后说，希望有一天能够在一个“真正自由、真正民主的中国”与大家见面。

In the recording, Qiming said that he had grown up within China’s education system and, as he became older, began to question why politics, history and differing viewpoints could not be discussed freely. He said he hoped young people would be able to access information freely and think independently. He explicitly opposed the CCP’s longstanding monopoly on political power and the increasing concentration of personal power under Xi Jinping. He concluded by saying that he hoped one day to meet everyone in a “truly free and truly democratic China”.

当天第一位发言人为中国民主进步联盟主席覃夕权。

The first speaker of the day was Xiquan Qin, Chairman of the China Democracy Progressive Alliance.

覃夕权以自己的经历为主线，讲述了长期参与海外民主活动后所感受到的安全风险。他回忆，2013年自己原计划从悉尼前往印度尼西亚与家人团聚，但在机场收到有关安全风险的警告后临时取消行程；2015年前往曼谷探望女儿时，他又因担心自身安全提前返回澳大利亚。此后十多年，他因安全顾虑没有再离开澳大利亚。

Drawing on his own experiences, Qin described the security risks he felt after years of participating in overseas democracy activities. He recalled that in 2013 he had planned to travel from Sydney to Indonesia to reunite with his family, but cancelled the trip at the airport after receiving a warning about security risks. In 2015, while visiting his daughter in Bangkok, he returned to Australia early because of concerns for his safety. For more than a decade since then, he has not left Australia because of those concerns.

他表示，跨国镇压并不一定只表现为暴力，也可能通过骚扰、威胁、网络攻击、对国内亲属施压以及其他形式出现。他呼吁澳大利亚社会重视海外民主人士及其家人的安全，并在发言最后提出“反对跨国镇压、反对政治恐吓、保护海外民主人士及其家人的安全”。

He said transnational repression does not necessarily take the form of physical violence. It may also appear through harassment, threats, cyberattacks, pressure on relatives in China and other means. He called on Australian society to take seriously the safety of overseas democracy advocates and their families, concluding with the demands: “Oppose transnational repression, oppose political intimidation, and protect the safety of overseas democracy advocates and their families.”

第二位发言人为中国民主进步联盟宣传部长纪懿宸。

The second speaker was CDPA Publicity Minister Yichen Ji.

纪懿宸表示，自己来到澳大利亚后更加公开地批评中共一党专政，并称自己亲身感受到了跨国镇压带来的压力。他说，由于担心海外政治活动牵连家人，来到澳大利亚时已尽可能让家人一同离开中国；但根据他后来了解到的情况，有关方面在发现其直系亲属已经离开中国后，曾前往他过去就读的高中，询问其当年的老师。

Ji said that after coming to Australia he became more open in criticising the CCP’s one-party rule and personally felt the pressure associated with transnational repression. Because he feared that his overseas political activities might affect his family, he had tried to ensure that family members left China with him where possible. However, according to information he later received, after the relevant authorities discovered that his immediate family had left China, they visited the high school he had attended and questioned his former teachers.

纪懿宸在讲话中还谈及新疆、西藏、香港、LGBTQ群体以及彭立发、黎智英、黄之锋等人的处境。他表示，无论民族、宗教、性倾向或政治观点如何，每个人都应拥有思想、言论、信仰以及选择生活方式的基本权利。

Ji also discussed the circumstances of people in Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong, LGBTQ communities, and individuals including Peng Lifa, Jimmy Lai and Joshua Wong. He said that regardless of ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or political opinion, everyone should possess the fundamental rights to think, speak, believe and choose how to live.

随后，现场播放了启茗的录音。

The recording by Qiming was then played at the rally.

作为当天唯一一名仍身处中国大陆、同时也是未成年人的发言者，启茗的出现成为集会中较为特别的一幕。

As the only speaker that day who remained in mainland China and was also a minor, Qiming’s participation became a particularly distinctive moment of the rally.

他在录音中说，由于仍在中国，无法像生活在自由社会的人一样公开站在现场表达政治观点，因此只能通过录音，让一个中国年轻人的真实想法被听见。

In the recording, he said that because he remained in China, he could not stand openly at the event and express political views in the way people living in free societies could. He therefore used a recording so that the genuine thoughts of a young person in China could be heard.

他谈到自己对于政治灌输、信息获取和独立思考的看法，并表示希望自己这一代能够成为“受中共洗脑的最后一代”。他也表达了对民主、自由、法治和人权的支持。

He spoke about political indoctrination, access to information and independent thought, and said he hoped his generation would become “the last generation to be brainwashed by the CCP”. He also expressed support for democracy, freedom, the rule of law and human rights.

当这名17岁青年的声音通过音响在悉尼Town Hall响起时，他本人仍身处中国大陆。对于现场参与者而言，这段录音也成为当天活动中“自由表达跨越网络封锁”的象征性环节之一。

As the 17-year-old’s voice sounded through the speakers at Sydney Town Hall, he himself remained in mainland China. For those present, the recording became a symbolic part of the day—an example of free expression crossing an internet blockade.

第四位发言人、中国民主进步联盟组织部长倪永久，将重点放在跨国镇压对家人的影响。

The fourth speaker, CDPA Organisation Minister Yongjiu Ni, focused on the impact of transnational repression on family members.

倪永久表示，他和哥哥来到澳大利亚后参加了多次和平政治活动，但据其家人陈述，河北省丘头镇派出所人员曾到其家中，提及兄弟二人在澳大利亚的政治活动，并要求父亲劝说他们停止。

Ni said that after he and his older brother came to Australia, they took part in several peaceful political activities. According to his family, officers from the Qiutou Town police station in Hebei Province later visited the family home, referred to the brothers’ political activities in Australia and asked their father to persuade them to stop.

他还表示，这种压力波及妻子和当时只有6岁的儿子。根据他的讲述，孩子受到惊吓并哭泣。倪永久在现场强调：“我们的父母不是政治工具，我们的妻子不是政治工具，我们的孩子更不应该成为政治打压的筹码。”

He said the pressure also reached his wife and his son, who was only six years old at the time. According to his account, the child became frightened and cried. Ni emphasised at the rally: “Our parents are not political tools. Our wives are not political tools. Our children must never become bargaining chips in political repression.”

中国民主进步联盟成员付胜利随后发言。

CDPA member Shengli Fu spoke next.

付胜利回顾自己从2018年开始参与海外民主活动的经历，并表示，在悉尼Town Hall参加抗议活动后，国内家人曾受到骚扰、警告和威胁。他认为，海外人士的政治立场不应成为家属受到压力的理由。

Fu reviewed his involvement in overseas democracy activities since 2018 and said that after he took part in protests at Sydney Town Hall, members of his family in China experienced harassment, warnings and threats. He argued that the political views of people overseas should never become a reason to pressure their relatives.

他在讲话中也提到彭立发、黄之锋、法轮功学员以及新疆、西藏、香港和台湾等议题，并表达对言论自由、信仰自由、司法独立和民主制度的支持。

In his speech, he also referred to Peng Lifa, Joshua Wong, Falun Gong practitioners, and issues concerning Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong and Taiwan. He expressed support for freedom of expression, freedom of belief, judicial independence and democratic institutions.

成员孙中发则以自己长期帮助他人维权的经历为主题。

Member Zhongfa Sun focused on his long experience of helping others defend their rights.

孙中发表示，自己在中国时经常帮助他人维权并公开批评政策，因此曾多次被派出所训诫，四个微信账号先后被永久封禁，后来又受到国安部门关注。

Sun said that while living in China he frequently helped others defend their rights and publicly criticised government policies. As a result, he was repeatedly admonished by police, four of his WeChat accounts were permanently banned, and he later attracted the attention of state security authorities.

他说，自己曾公开反对疫情期间一些极端封控措施，并认为长期的政治和生活压力最终影响了自己及家庭的生活。他后来与妻子来到澳大利亚，而妻子于今年去世，距当天集会尚不足百日。

He said he had publicly opposed some extreme lockdown measures during the pandemic and believed that prolonged political and everyday pressure ultimately affected both him and his family. He later came to Australia with his wife, who died earlier this year, less than one hundred days before the rally.

孙中发还在现场提到好友史庭福。据其本人了解，史庭福因赴新疆帮助他人维权而被关押，并于今年10月22日在被关押期间去世。他呼吁有关方面公开说明史庭福在押期间的具体情况。

Sun also spoke about his friend Shi Tingfu. According to Sun’s understanding, Shi was detained after travelling to Xinjiang to help others defend their rights and died in custody on 22 October this year. Sun called on the relevant authorities to disclose the circumstances of Shi’s detention and death.

当天最后一位发言人为中国民主进步联盟墨尔本代表徐燕君。由于个人原因未能亲自抵达悉尼，其发言稿由主持人纪懿宸代为宣读。

The final speaker was Yanjun Xu, the CDPA representative in Melbourne. As she was unable to travel to Sydney for personal reasons, host Yichen Ji read her prepared speech on her behalf.

徐燕君在稿件中表示，虽然无法亲自来到Town Hall，但自己“反对跨国镇压、捍卫自由与人权的立场不会因为距离而改变”。她认为，跨国镇压可能影响海外民主活动人士本人，也可能让其国内家属承受压力。

In her statement, Xu said that although she could not attend Town Hall in person, her “position of opposing transnational repression and defending freedom and human rights will not change because of distance”. She argued that transnational repression can affect overseas democracy activists directly and may also place pressure on their family members in China.

她同时呼吁澳大利亚政府、国际社会及人权组织关注海外民主人士和家人的安全，并表示，民主人士不应因为恐吓而沉默，也不应因为身处海外而放弃对民主、自由和人权的追求。

She also called on the Australian government, the international community and human rights organisations to pay attention to the safety of overseas democracy advocates and their families. She said democracy advocates should not fall silent because of intimidation, nor abandon the pursuit of democracy, freedom and human rights because they live overseas.

当天活动还穿插播放了音乐剧《悲惨世界》中的《Do You Hear the People Sing?》以及《愿荣光归香港》。主持词表示，前者象征追求自由的声音，后者则承载着不少香港人对于自由、民主和尊严的记忆。

The event also featured “Do You Hear the People Sing?” from the musical Les Misérables and “Glory to Hong Kong”. The host said that the former symbolised voices pursuing freedom, while the latter carried many Hong Kong people’s memories of freedom, democracy and dignity.

在发言环节结束后，纪懿宸总结表示，当天讨论了跨国镇压、新疆、西藏、四通桥事件、彭立发、宗教信仰以及海外政治表达等多个议题，但这些问题背后共同涉及的是“人的尊严”。他强调，一个人不应因为政治观点受到恐吓，不应因为民族身份受到压迫，也不应因为宗教信仰失去自由。

At the end of the speeches, Ji summarised that the rally had addressed transnational repression, Xinjiang, Tibet, the Sitong Bridge protest, Peng Lifa, religious belief and overseas political expression, but that all these issues shared a common concern: “human dignity”. He stressed that no person should be intimidated because of political opinions, oppressed because of ethnic identity or deprived of freedom because of religious belief.

中国民主进步联盟表示，未来仍将以和平、公开方式参与相关公共活动，并继续关注海外华人及异议人士的安全、中国大陆的人权状况、宗教信仰自由以及民主与法治等议题。

The China Democracy Progressive Alliance stated that it would continue to participate in relevant public activities through peaceful and open means, while maintaining its focus on the safety of overseas Chinese and dissidents, the human rights situation in mainland China, freedom of religion and belief, democracy and the rule of law.

当天集会最后以“停止跨国镇压”“关注新疆人权”“关注西藏人权”“释放彭立发”等诉求结束。

The rally concluded with calls to “Stop transnational repression”, “Focus on human rights in Xinjiang”, “Focus on human rights in Tibet” and “Free Peng Lifa”.
