人大常委会今天就2017年香港特首选举定下极其狭窄的框架，扼杀真普选，令特区政府第二轮政改咨询沦为虚伪闹剧，和平占中对此表示极度遗憾。
真正的普选须包含平等的投票权与被选权，人大常委会的决定扼杀了不同党派的参选权利，为选举设下不合理限制，是「钦点」政治的延续。这种选举方式无助化解多年来对普选的争议，亦不会得到立法会通过。这次政改失败，令香港人对制度改革已失去希望，社会矛盾将会加剧，责任全在中央政府。
这次决定除了扼杀普选，更是对一国两制的粗暴打击。政改五步曲走到第二步，人大常委会便以如此具体的决定对普选「落闸」，完全矮化特区政府的宪制角色，令第二轮政政咨询变得毫无意义。如果港人对这种「一国压倒两制」的做法保持沉默，「一国两制、高度自治」将会消亡。
北京一方面说大部份泛民和港人都是爱国爱港，另一方面却认为让港人自由选择，便会选出危害国家安全的特首。这种自相矛盾的说法只反映中央的「心魔」，北京就是对人民恐惧！自古以来，政府应当要取信于民，但现在中央却是害怕人民以至失信于民！
和平占中运动一直视占领中环为最后手段，只有走尽对话之路，在迫不得已的情况下才进行占中。我们非常难过地说：今天对话之路已经走尽，占中必定发生。
我们必须要对北京违反承诺、妄顾特区人民的福祉表示痛心愤慨，这是维护尊严的表现。我们定必以非暴力方式进行抗争，因为即使失去制度改革，亦不能失去爱与和平的精神。
我们要求立法会否决这方案，重启政改！

31.8.2014 Press Release by Occupy Central with Love and Peace
[ Official statement of Occupy Central with Love and Peace in response to the decision of the National Peoplep~ps Congress Standing Committee on Hong Kongp~ps constitutional reform ]
We express our deepest regret over todayp~ps decision of the NPC Standing Committee to set an extremely narrow framework for the 2017 Chief Executive election. The framework stifles genuine universal suffrage and renders the second-round constitutional reform consultation by the HKSAR government a farce.Genuine universal suffrage includes both the rights to elect and to be elected. The decision of the NPC Standing Committee has deprived people with different political views of the right to run for election and be elected by imposing unreasonable restrictions, thereby perpetuating p~~phandpicked politics”. Such a vision for the electoral system will not resolve the controversies about universal suffrage over the years, nor will it be passed by the Legislative Council. The failure of this constitutional reform has dashed peoplep~ps hopes for change and will intensify conflicts in the society. The central government must be held fully responsible for this.
Besides killing universal suffrage, the NPCSC decision also deals a heavy blow to the concept of p~~pone country, two systemsp~~p. Its concrete decision at just the second step of the Five-step Process of Constitutional Development has effectively closed the door to universal suffrage , degraded the constitutional role of the HKSAR Government, and rendered the second-round HKSAR consultation meaningless. If Hong Kong people keep silent about the stance that p~~pone country prevails over two systemsp~~p, both p~~pone country, two systemsp~~p and p~~phigh degree of autonomyp~~p will die.
On one hand, Beijing has said that most pan-democrats and Hong Kong people love the country and Hong Kong. On the other hand, it is afraid that a Chief Executive who threatens national security will be elected if Hong Kong people are allowed to choose freely. Such conflicting views reflect the p~~pdevilp~~p at the heart of the central government -- its fear of the people! Instead of trying to gain the trust of the people, something governments have always had to do, our central government is now afraid of the people and has lost their trust.
OCLP has considered occupying Central only as the last resort, an action to be taken only if all chances of dialogue have been exhausted and there is no other choice. We are very sorry to say that today all chances of dialogue have been exhausted and the occupation of Central will definitely happen.
In order to maintain our dignity, we must express our strong dissatisfaction over Beijing breaking its promise and its disregard for Hong Kong peoplep~ps welfare. We will stick to the use of nonviolent direct action, for we cannot afford to lose the spirit of love and peace even with the loss of constitutional reform.We urge Legco to vote down this reform proposal and the government to start the constitutional reform process all over again.
