Families of Two Jailed Pro-democracy Hong Kong Youths Visit Prison in China: "I Will Wait for You at the Border"

In December 2020, 10 pro-democracy Hongkongers, who were arrested by and detained in China since last August, were trialed in the Shenzhen Yantian District People’s Court in China.

The sentences for the 10 activists ranged from 7 months to 3 years of jail in China.

In Jan 2021, family members of two of the detainees, Li Tsz-yin and Kok Tse-lun, travelled to Shenzhen in China to visit them in jail.

On Jan 31, 2021, the Facebook page of the #Save12 concern group announced the safe return of Li's mother to Hong Kong.

Li's mother said, during the two meetings with her son, one virtual and one in person, Li "seemed happy and sounded positive".

Li shall be released on March 22, 2021. His mother told Li, “I will be waiting for you at the border”. Li replied “See you in Hong Kong then!”

#PrisonVisit: #EddieChu Studying Vietnamese from Fellow Inmate, Says Wife

In Hong Kong, former pro-democracy legislator Eddie Chu remains in detention in Stanley Prison after being arrested in the 47 Democrats case.

His wife Au Pui-fun and daughter visited him at the prison last week; Au sported a red scarf to fend off the cold morning, and waited in line to register for their visit.

Chu had been studying Vietnamese, his wife relayed, and had been learning it from free apps since a month before his arrest. "He had been working very hard at it. The learning app has 5 levels, and he's ranked the 2nd fastest learner worldwide on it!"

After being sent to Stanley Prison, Chu had befriended a Vietnamese prisoner who taught him Vietnamese; in return, Chu taught the man Cantonese.

As mandatory work for prisoners, Chu was assigned to manufacture file folders. "He said he was so slow at the beginning; others made 50 folders in the time he made 5," his wife recalled with a chuckle. "I don't know about now; I haven't asked in a while."

During his detention, Chu noticed he woke up with discomfort under his left eye. Fortunately, examinations showed that it was only a natural degradation of his eye, and was not serious; he could manage it with regular eye drops. When asked, Chu said with a frown, "Of course, I looked at my phone too much when laying down. But it should be better now!" He said.
