By Wang Jung-hsiang / Staff reporterDemocratic Progressive Party (DPP) and New Power Party (NPP) Kaohsiung city councilors yesterday urged the Kaohsiung City Government to list Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam (林鄭月娥) as an unwelcome figure in the city. In doing so, the Hong Kong government and police have encroached upon human rights, they said. As a city that values human rights, Kaohsiung should list Lam as an unwelcome figure in the city, they said. The councilors said they would also send a Christmas card attached with the motion to Lam, and reach out to the Hong Kong Legislative Council to inform them of the motion. The Kaohsiung City Government said that it respects councilors’ right to submit motions, but added that all motions should have a sound legal basis and be grounded in reality.
