US State Secretary Condemns China for Turning Hong Kong into the East Berlin
December 21, 2020 is the Winter Solstice which symbolizes family union; however, the 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers have been detained in China for more than 120 days.
On Dec 18, US state secretary Mike Pompeo again raised concern over the 12 Hongkongers and comdemned China for violating human rights:
"The Hong Kong 12 should be released immediately. Their so-called 'crime' was to flee tyranny. Communist China today is turning Hong Kong into the East Berlin of yesteryear, actively preventing its own people from seeking freedom elsewhere."

Families of 12 Hong Kong Youth demand for open trail
Feared of a secret trail and that Chinese and Hong Kong Authorities might impose administrative measures to forbid them from attending court hearing, families of the 12 Youth being detained in China Yantin Detention Center issued an open letter today (21 December) asking the authorities for assistance and other discretionary arrangements.
The Shenzhen Yantian District People's Procuratorate announced on December 16 that 10 of the 12 detained Hongkongers will be formally charged, and a closed-door hearing will be held for the other two to decide whether the charges will be dropped.
Families stressed in the Open Letter, “it has been a week, … the authorities have not provided us with the indictment or any case papers, we have no way to know the details of the charges against our children and the proposed sentences.”
Families raised 5 demands in their open letter;
• Open the trial to the public and webcast the trial;
• Protect the right of family members to attend the trial by informing the trial date no less than 20 days before the trial date, so that early testing and other arrangements can be made;
• Or allow test results to substitute the two-week quarantine requirement for the entry of the family members;
• Provide the families with the Indictment and records of interview, and disclose the list of members of the panel and the prosecutor to the public;
• Provide the identity and contact information of all government-assigned lawyers; and
• Protect the right of defense of the 12 Hongkongers and allow the family-appointed lawyers to defend for them.

Candle Lights and Christmas Wishes for the 12 Detained Hongkongers

"Bull" Tsang Kin-shing (of the League of Social Democrats) invited citizens to sign a large banner at the booth. Citizens wrote down various words of encouragements: "Add oil, hands and feet!" "Hang on!" "Never forget why we started!" Citizens also lit candles, wishing for the quick return of the 12 youths back to Hong Kong.
Police posted 5 or 6 officers nearby to observe the booth, though they had not taken any action against them.

#Save12 Concern Group Worries CCP-assigned Lawyers Are "Sumissive to the Authorities" Instead of Defending the 12 Detained HongKongers
[Editor's note: As of Christmas 2020, the 12 pro-democracy Hong Kong have been detained in China for over 120 days.]
Dec 16, 2020 marks the 116th day into the CCP government's jailing of 12 pro-democracy HongKongers after captivating them at sea in August.
China charged 10 of them with "Organizing Other Persons to Croos Borders Illegally" and "Crossing Borders Illegally" on 10 of them, while the 2 juveniles detainees would be put into a "closed hearing".
The #Save12HKYouths Concern Group critized the Chinese authorities for refusing the families' request for meeting and defense. The group did not believe that the "offically assigned lawyers" by the Chinese government would prioritize the interests of the litigants, and worried that they would be submissive to the authorities, making the defense unfavourable to the 12 HongKongers.
The Concern Group also said that the family members intended to go to Shenzhen to attend the hearing, but were worried that they could not make it in view of the 14- day quarantine policy while the date for the hearing was yet to be confirmed.
The Concern Group demanded the Chinese authorities to provide indictment to the families, and allow their own entrusted lawyers to meet and represent the 12 Hongkongers and to participate in their Defense.
They also demanded an open hearing, an early notification of the hearing date, as well as exemption of quarantine when they enter Shenzhen borders for the hearing.

Hongkongers Send Christmas Cards to Support 12 Pro-democracy Protesters Detained by China; HK Student: We Shoulder the Pain Together
The "Save 12 Hong Kong Youths Concern Group" recently launched a campaign to send Christmas cards to the 12 Hongkongers who have been detained by the Chinese authority for over 100 days.
Yau Tsim Mong District Councilor Chu Kong-wai organized the Christmas card station on December 18, 2020 in Mong Kok, hoping that Hong Kong people would keep paying attention to the 12 detainees to protect them from inhuman treatment.
Candice, a secondary school student who joined the campaign said that she hopes to shoulder the pain experienced by the 12 HongKongers, so that they know that Hong Kong people have always been by their side,
"I hope that they can insist on their ideas, they have done nothing wrong." The HKSAR government earlier stated that the Liber Studies subject should be reformed. Candice said that the Liberal Studies teacher mentioned the 12 Hongkongers before in class but did not discuss it in depth, "I could feel the pressure borne by the Liberal Studies teacher, but s/he told us that s/he would teach us until nothing was allowed to teach."
Mr. Ho, who is in his 50s and works in the air transport industry wrote on the Christmas card the words, "May Heaven destroy the CCP".
Regarding whether his Christmas card can be delivered to the 12 Hongkoners, Mr. Ho said, "I didn’t expect this card could be successfully delivered when I wrote these words, but I will still say what I want to say.".
Mr. Ho said that his friend had been unjustly imprisoned in China for eight months, which has made him no longer believe in the judicial system of China.
