Operation Yellowbird, or Operation Siskin (simplified Chinese: 黄雀行动; traditional Chinese: 黃雀行動), was a Hong Kong-based operation to help the Chinese dissidents who participated in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 to escape arrest by the Chinese government by facilitating their departure overseas via Hong Kong. Western intelligence agencies such as Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (SIS a.k.a. MI6) and the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) were involved in the operations. Other contributors included politicians, celebrities, business people and triad members from Hong Kong—forming the "unlikely" alliance which sustained the operation for most of its duration.

  • Operation Yellowbird, or Operation Siskin (simplified Chinese: 黄雀行动; traditional Chinese: 黃雀行動), was a Hong Kong-based operation to help the Chinese dissidents who participated in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 to escape arrest by the Chinese government by facilitating their departure overseas via Hong Kong. Western intelligence agencies such as Britain's Secret Intelligence Service (SIS a.k.a. MI6) and the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) were involved in the operations. Other contributors included politicians, celebrities, business people and triad members from Hong Kong—forming the "unlikely" alliance which sustained the operation for most of its duration. The operation began in late June 1989, following the issuing of an order by the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau on 13 June 1989 to apprehend the leaders of the Beijing Students' Autonomous Federation who were on the run. The operation continued until 1997. Yellowbird successfully helped more than 400 dissidents, who were smuggled through Hong Kong, and then onwards to Western countries. Some escapees included Wu'erkaixi, Chai Ling, Li Lu, Feng Congde, Chen Yizi, and Su Xiaokang. Three Hong Kong based activists were arrested by the Chinese authorities, but later released after intervention by the Hong Kong government. (en)

  • 黃雀行動(英語:Operation Siskin/Operation Yellow Bird)是1989年6月下旬至1997年為止,以司徒华為首的香港人士為了秘密營救在六四事件中遭到中華人民共和國政府通緝的前往香港而发起的行動之代號。 其中在中國大陸當局1989年6月13日發表《北京市公安局搜捕「高自聯」在逃分子通緝令》後,香港人士便發起黃雀行動協助遭到通緝者偷渡離開中國大陸並且之後協助前往其他西方國家。当中包括人權倡導者、西方外交官、商人、走私份子和香港帮會等不同背景之人士超过400人也曾協助整起行動。對此司徒华曾經表示黃雀行動的細節極度敏感,也因此許多涉及的人物和細節在多年來一直沒有曝光。整個黃雀行動共救出約800人(其中包括黄鳥行动救出约400人),其中在通緝令中遭到搜捕的23名學生領導人中有15人成功因而獲得營救,而藉此前往海外人士包括有吾爾開希、柴玲、封從德、蘇曉康、陳一諮等人。過程中中國大陸當局也曾逮捕三名在香港積極參與黃雀行動的成員,不過因此入獄的營救行動成員則在香港政府干預下陸續獲得釋放。 (zh)
