HK Democrats criticize Beijing's scare tactics
AFP , HONG KONG
Tuesday, Mar 02, 2004,Page 5

Hong Kong's main pro-democracy party yesterday accused the Beijing government of using scare tactics to dissuade voters from electing democrats to the legislature in September.

The Democratic Party said weekend accusations by a leading Chinese political theorist that top democrats were considered "unpatriotic" and unfit to rule were part of a concerted effort to frighten off voters.

"We are not surprised by these kinds of tactics," said Democratic Party campaign chief and former legislator Li Wah-ming (???).

"They are using scare tactics to keep Hong Kong people from voting for democrats in the September election," Li said.
