【新西兰鹰视野中文网】港府周五（8月30日）大肆抓捕社运人士与本土派议员，美国参议院两党领袖、议员纷纷发声谴责北京，支持香港“反送中”抗议民众。少数党领袖舒默直接向中国国家主席习近平发出信号，表示全世界都在看香港，也会让北京对其在香港的行为负责。
据中央社报导，香港警方在当地时间8月30日24小时内突然拘捕包括香港民族党前召集人陈浩天、立法会议员郑松泰、民主派沙田区议员许锐宇、前香港大学学生会会长孙晓岚、香港众志秘书长黄之锋以及成员周庭等至少10名支持“反送中”的社会运动人士和立法会议员，引发国际关注。
美国参议院少数党领袖舒默（Chuck Schumer）周四（8月29日）就发推警告北京：“如果安全部队镇压香港抗议者，中国共产党必须后果自负。”周五，他再次连发数条推文，谴责港府当天的逮捕行动。
舒默在推文中写道：“中国（中共）加强对香港的控制，以扼杀民主，这是一个残酷的独裁政权的绝望行为。几个月来，香港人走上街头，挺身捍卫他们的民主权利。美国人民必须继续和香港人民并肩站在一起。”

China’s tightening grip around Hong Kong to strangle democracy is a desperate act of a brutal authoritarian regime. For months now, the people of Hong Kong have taken to the streets to stand up for their democratic rights. The American people must continue to stand with them.
他抨击说：“逮捕不同意见人士的做法并非权力强大的象征，只能体现懦弱与恐惧。中国共产党已经违背了对香港人的承诺，也表明其对基本人权的不尊重。”
他最后直接对习近平喊话说：“全世界都在看（香港），并且会让中国（中共）对其在香港的行为负责。”
舒默继续在下一条推文中说：“当参议院复会后，（参议院多数党领袖）麦康奈尔应该迅速提出对《香港人权与民主法案》的辩论和投票。这是一项两党立法，将向习主席发出明确的信号。”

Arresting dissenters is not a sign of strength—only weakness & fear. The Chinese Communist Party has broken its promise to the people of Hong Kong & has shown it does not respect fundamental human rights.
President Xi: the world is watching & will hold China accountable.
Chuck Schumer

When the Senate returns, @SenateMajLdr McConnell should quickly bring up for debate & vote on the Hong Kong Human Rights & Democracy Act. This is bipartisan legislation that will send a clear message to President Xi.
据美国之音报导，共和党参议员鲁比奥（Marco Rubio）今年6月提出的《香港人权与民主法案》要求美国国务院每年对香港的自治状态进行认证，从而决定是否维持香港目前所享有的特殊地位和待遇，并将制裁侵权官员。与此同时，法案还要求美国总统查明那些对绑架香港书商和记者负有责任的人以及其他有关卷入压制香港基本自由的人，冻结这些这些人的资产并禁止他们入境美国。”
各界认为，《香港人权与民主法案》将是1992年通过的《美国-香港政策法》的加强升级版，将会比后者对香港的自主状态进行更严厉的考核。
众议院议长佩洛西（Nancy Pelosi）之前已宣布支持这项法案。
参议院多数党领袖麦康奈尔（Mitch McConnell）周五同样发推文说：“全球领导人应该关注香港正在进行的镇压和最近逮捕民主活动人士的（事件）。在北京尊重香港自治和政治自由之前，（国际社会）不应该像往常一样和香港打交道。”

World leaders should pay attention to the ongoing crackdown and recent arrests of pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong. It should not be business as usual until Beijing respects Hong Kong’s autonomy and political freedoms.https://www.wsj.com/articles/arrest-of-hong-kong-activists-rally-ban-set-stage-for-more-clashes-11567163889 …
