Email from Edward Snowden's HK barrister Robert Tibbo


Hi John,

I trust you are doing well.

Refugees who sheltered Snowden in Hong Kong

I am not sure whether you are aware of a group of my clients in Hong Kong who assisted another client of mine in 2013, Mr Snowden. I have provided a few links in the latter part of this email to update you.

 

So John, can I ask you to post the gofundme and facebook pages on your website?  And the post the actual links as well? The two links are below.

https://www.gofundme.com/ 2s3wsmk

https://www.facebook.com/ Snowdens-Guardians- 313656002324244/

 

Anything you can do to pass this email onto your colleagues as well as any others by way of emails, tweets, shares and post and likes on twitter, Facebook, instagram, etc, will help.

We are trying to get the gofundme page distrubuted to as wide an audience as possible. Getting it circulated to a wider audience is key.

Any donations will help no matter how small. This would be very much appreciated by the three families. All donations will go to the families to assist in meeting ther basic needs to survive in Hong Kong..

Please also see the news links of the last few weeks on the three refugee families.

FYI: The original stories broke in early September by journalists from the National Post (Canada), New York Times (USA) and Handelsblatt (Germany) and are very comprehensive, covered by three investigative journalists..
