Pro-China, Pro-police Supporters Attacked Journalists, Called Pro-democracy Protesters "cockroaches" and Demanded recount in Pro-democracy Constituencies
Pro-China, pro-police supporters who were mainly middle-aged and elderly held a rally in Wan Chai. Waving Chinese national flag and singing the Chinese national anthem, participants called themselves "patriots".
They openly defamed pro-democracy protesters as "cockroaches" and "trash", and accused the newly-elected pro-democracy district councillors of using "unscrupulous means" to win in the recent election.
The group claimed that the pro-democracy groups obstructed many people from casting their vote and demanded a recount in constituencies where pro-democracy candidates had won.
The crowd also showed their pro-police stance and called for enactment of Article 23, a controversial anti-subversion bill that was shelved after half a million took it to the street in 2003.
The pro-police, pro-China crowd vented out their anger to the media. Journalists were abused, as they were pictured and hit with the Chinese national flags. The crowd also held up posters that read “we hate fake news”.

Riot police Repeatedly Fire Tear Gas, Causing Residents not Able to Return Home for A Month
Ms Ko stated that repeated firing of tear gas near her residence not only displaced her and her son from their home, but also caused physical harm. Ms Ko has been suffering from chest pains and had difficulty breathing. Her 5-year-old son has developed rashes on his back and thigh. In the past few weeks, once he coughs, thick and solid lump of black mucus would be spat out.
She stated that she attempted to clean her home up and move back to her residence last week. However, the smell of tear gas residue was still strong and “despite being in full protective clothing and a mask on, the smell was still irritating. If I attempted to stay at home for a longer period, my tongue had become paralysed. “

Stand With #Yuli Rally
Citizens expressed their support for Indonesian domestic worker and writer Yuli Riswati in a rally at Edinburgh Place.
In a long-distance call, Yuli told the participants in Cantonese that she went to see a doctor because she knew many people were worried about her. Her health condition had now improved.
Yuli pointed out that being detained by the Hong Kong authorities in the Castle Peak Immigration Center (CIC) was harder than being jailed. In the prison, at least she could know the date of release, but she had no idea when she would be free again during her detention in CIC.
During her detention, the Hong Kong Immigration Department did not arrange a female doctor to check her body. It had disturbed her as a Muslim.
Yuli sent a message to all Hong Kong people hoping they could also care about the human rights of her fellow citizens, other domestic helpers and other detainees. Lastly, she chanted "Hongkongers, fight on!" with the rally participants.

#HSBC Freezes Assets of the Good Neighbour North District Church
On December 7, 2020 in Hong Kong, the accounts of the Good Neighbour North District Church, pastor Mr. Chan Hoi Hing Roy, and his wife were frozen without prior notification nor justification provided.
As a registered charity (IR No.: 91/14411) since 2016, the Good Neighbour North District Church raised funds and received donations from all legally. The act of HSBC is allegedly a political retaliation by the authorities and a sign of the erosion of the credibility of the bank system in Hong Kong.
The Good Neighbour North District Church has their one and only one bank account at HSBC. According to the church, they did not manage to set up other account at non-China funded banks in Hong Kong.
The church has been providing services to the grassroots: The "Hostel for Homeless" has been offering 30 free hostel places in North Districts since 2014. Even the government's Social Welfare Department has approached the church several times during the coronavirus pandemic, hoping to look for accommodation for the homeless.
In 2019, the group “Safeguard Our Generation” under the church offers humanitarian aid to pro-democracy protestors. At the frontline, middle-aged and elderly volunteers from the church monitored police operation and try to prevent police brutality.
The Church condemns the HSBC for "exploiting the well-established independent financial system and sabotaging the benefits of individuals and groups of Hong Kong, as well as foreign investors within the territory".
At the same time, at least 3 banks in Hong Kong has frozen the accounts of the self-exiled former lawmaker Ted Hui, his parents and wife.
The Church concluded their ststement: "Hongkongers will demonstrate their determination in saying 'NO' to injustice with what they own in hand."

Court Rejects Agnes Chow's Appeal Application,
Chow: "It is my honor to be able to participate in social movements"
Before her 24th birthday on Nov 27, 2020, Agnes Chow wrote an open letter. The following excerpt tells of her conviction in fighting for freedom:
"In the face of sentencing, I was very nervous and a little afraid. I am afraid that I cannot adapt to prison life. I am also afraid that I will have to celebrate my birthday (the second day of conviction) behind the bars.
On the eve of my 24th birthday, I was still recruiting gifts, I was going to film the unboxing of my gifts. But now, my birthday, work, and unboxing are gone, only the cold court papers and the anxiety of waiting for sentencing are left.
I have said several times before that it is my honor to be able to participate in social movements. I still hold this belief until today. Without the courage to join the social movement that day, I will certainly not be the one I am today. In a society full of fear nowadays, we have to experience a lot, and there are more pain and sacrifice. To me, this is also an ordeal.
I wish justice will return to society soon and I hope I can spend my 24th birthday outside the prison."
On Dec 7, 2020, four days after Chow was sentenced to jail for 10 months, she was in a two-person isolation room and the following are her words:
"On the day of sentencing, I was touched to see so many people came to see us off (I cried on the shoulder of an elderly woman who sat next to me), I could see very clearly what was written on the placards held by those chasing the prison van.
The letters I received during this period of time have been very encouraging to me, by knowing that people outside are still supporting me, I have gained the strength to endure the suffering. I hope people can also attend the trials of and write to other imprisoned protesters."
On Dec 9, 2020, the court in Hong Kong denied Agnes Chow's application for an appeal.

Correctional Services Department Censors Books and Pictures Showing "Liberate Hong Kong" Flag
Former lawmaker Bottle Shiu Ka-chun is known for his advocacy in inmates' rights. In his Facebook post on December 4, 2020, Shiu said that Hong Kong Correctional Services demanded to have several pages of three books, nanely "Yuen Long Dark Night", "Under the Sky", and "Hongkonger 2.0" torn away before they could be admitted into the prison. Shiu described the three books as "the latest books banned by the Correctional Services".
The pages to be removed include the descriptions about the gangsters' participation in Yuen Long 721 attack, the police deployment that night, and pictures of "Liberate Hong Kong" flag. Shiu criticized the Department for claiming that there is no censor list, but the inmates' right to read is restricted.
He described the book censorship in the Correctional Services as arbitrary and willful: "If (the Correctional Services) wants to tear away the pages, you can only choose not to bring the books in".
