Students' Union of University of Hong Kong: "Hongkongers, We Shall Give Our Lives to Freedom"
The University of Hong Kong Students' Union released a frontpage statement on #AppleDaily on #Aug14. Conveying Hongkongers' determination to pursue freedom, the open letter quoted #WinstonChurchil 's speech in the #WWI and #HannahArendt 's works as well as the struggles for democracy in #Taiwan and #SouthKorea. The letter goes:
“Students were arrested, a newspaper office was raided, election was turned into ‘mere figurehead’, and a professor was dismissed. All of these are merely the prologue to a long gloomy night. It seems that the future of this city can only get ever duller. We might be weak confronting the totalitarian party-state, but we are not alone.
We have the free world walking with us."
The message is clear: "Hongkongers, We Shall Give Our Lives to Freedom"; and
“Through blood, toil, tears and sweat, we will strive on."

Hong Kong Artist Ar To: "Share, Like and Subscribe, Not just for a day. Support all media that are willing to speak up"
Artist Ar To released a new comic depicting how the buying of apples has caused a law enforcement figure to hoist a purple warning flag. In Hong Kong, the police carry a flag as such to warn civilians of their potential violation of the national security law.
Meanwhile, the fruit diversity in the market portrayed by Ar To is extinguishing. Toward the end of the comic, there are only apples and some unknown canned containers with the Communist Party's logo on it.
Ar To wrote in his post:
"Share, Like and Subscribe, Not just for a day. Support all media that are willing to speak up. This is a war of getting back our voice."

Police Trepass Yellow Store without Warrant
“La Tessa", a pro-democracy restaurant in Sham Shui Po, wrote on Facebook that on the early morning of 14 August, 5 uniform police trepassed the restaurant from the backdoor and look into their documents and cashier without any warrant while the chef went out to dump the trash.
The surveillance TV captures the incident at 4:30am on 14 August, before the operating hours of the restaurant. After entering from the backdoor, the police had stayed for 45 minutes to scrutinize the restaurant.
The police asked, “as a 'yellow' shop, don't you have good business?” However, the police did not explain why they entered. The restaurant questioned that police might have violated the gathering ban.
Later, the police released 2 Facebook posts claiming that they found the backdoor of the restaurant not closed. They then carried out their "crime prevention" duty. The police condemned the allegations as "unreasonable and fraudulent".

Hong Kong Government Refuses Legal aid to Pro-democracy Student Shot by Police, Citing the Use of Police Force as “Reasonable”
On October 1, 2019, Tsang Chi-kin, a secondary school student of Tsuen Wan Public Ho Chuen Yiu Memorial College, was shot by the police with a live round on his left chest at close range during a pro-democracy demonstration.
Tsang was critically injured as the fragments of the bullet were dispersed in his ribs, lungs and chest cavity, only 3cm away from his heart.
Tsang filed a personal injury claim against the police, which was rejected by the government's Legal Aid Department. The reply letter Tsang Chi-kin received was published by pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong on his Facebook page. The government's department rejected Tsang's case and said the use of force by the police at the time was "reasonable."
Wong elaborated that the Legal Aid Department has been recklessly tightening approval criteria in recent months, which is a clear sign of political oppression, creating unnecessary difficulty to many pro-democracy citizens.
The main argument for filing a legal claim was to seek clarity on whether the police force used was reasonable. Wong said on his Facebook, “Now the Legal Aid Department is acting as a judge, pronouncing a ruling without trial, court, or cross-examination that the police force used was reasonable."
It was said that Tsang will appeal, although the exact schedule remained unclear at the moment. Joshua Wong also commented that the government’s infiltration and oppression targeting pro-democracy civilians will inevitably lead to another round of distrust in the international community on Hong Kong’s judicial system.

Health experts slam Health Code in public places unnecessary
In Hong Kong, Beijing loyalists have been urging the government to launch a Health Code system to monitor entrance of eateries and shopping malls, several experts rebuked, calling it a fallacy of concept.
In a radio interview on August 14, Professor David Hui Shu-Cheong, Chairman of the Department of Medicine and Therapeutics in Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK), expressed that although the #COVID19 coronavirus continued to spread in Hong Kong with tens of cases confirmed every day, and some sources of these cases remained unknown, launching a Health Code in public places at this moment is unnecessary.
He blatantly called such recommendation a distortion of concept. Hui pointed out that Health Code is only a short-term measure to screen out carriers of coronavirus at the border, so that border control can be relaxed once when the outbreak is put under control.
It is neither an effective means to boost consumption nor a tool to save local economy. Hui clarified that the expert team on epidemic prevention, in which he is a member, has never discussed this issue in their meetings with the government.
Hui also expressed that testing period for Health Code has been continually shortened from every 14 days to 7 day, 3 days and most recently to every day for cross-border drivers in China, showing that usage of Health Code is not for local population, but a temporary arrangement for cross-border communication.
Dr Joseph Tseng Kay Yan, a specialist in Infectious Disease said in another radio program that Health Code might give citizens a wrong impression that having a clean Health Code pass, they are free to “go everywhere” .

許樹昌指使用健康碼到食肆消費概念不正確
對於有建議推出香港版健康碼，讓巿民憑這個健康碼可出入食肆商場等消費，政府專家顧問、中大呼吸系統科講座教授許樹昌認為，建議不太適用。 許樹昌於一個電台節目時表示，本港新型肺炎確診數字每日仍然有雙位數，很大比例是來源不明，於疫情仍然嚴重時，使用健康碼到食肆消費，概念不正確，因為健康碼是在疫情穩定時，想通關的臨時措施，以證明無確診下過境時用，並非用作消費，現時不宜用這模式試圖挽救經濟，專家小組會議亦無討論有關問題。 許樹昌說，內地健康碼的期限已逐步縮短，最初中港司機14天一次檢測，之後變成7日其後3日，近期變…

2 Pastors Left Hong Kong after the Gospel Declaration was Reprimanded by China-funded Media for “Intention to Instigate Secession”
Hong Kong Pastors Network, composing of a group of pastors and preachers, published the "Hong Kong 2020 Gospel Declaration" and stated,
“In the face of a totalitarian regime that distorts facts, controls the media, and buries the Truth, the Church courageously rejects all falsehood, and points out what the regime has done wrong”.
The declaration was criticized by Chinese Communist Party- funded newspapers Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po as "infiltrating and brainwashing groups of followers to intentionally incite secession after the implementation of Hong Kong National Security Law".
Reverend Chan Yan-Ming, one of the initiators, confirmed that two members of the network, Reverend Wong Siu-yung and Reverend William Yeung, had left Hong Kong after being reprimanded by the two Beijing-controlled newspapers for violating the national security law.
Christian Times published on Aug 14 that after the forceful imposition of the Hong Kong National Security Law on June 30, the Hong Kong Pastors Network had been disbanded. Reverend Wong and Yeung, the two primary initiators of Hong Kong 2020 Gospel Declaration, have fled Hong Kong due to family concerns and pressure after being criticised.
