Taiwanese Human Rights Association of Canada (THRAC) held the Albert J. F. Lin Human Rights Award ceremony. The award went to Ms. Gloria Fung, President of Canada-Hong Kong Link to recognize her long-time effort in promoting democracy and human rights.
Director General Jin-Ling Chen extended her congratulations to Ms. Fung and gratitude to Dr. Albert Lin for his works in facilitating Taiwan’s democratization through non-violence measures. Taiwan will continue to work with like-minded countries to safeguard the universal values of democracy and freedom.
President of THRAC, Rev Michael Stainton said that this year’s award marks two meanings. First, it honors Gloria for her long-time effort to bring attention to the situation in Hong Kong. Secondly, as Hong Kong’s new security law came into force today, it shows support to Hong Kong and solidarity between Taiwan and HK.
