Chung Kim-Wah says personal information of all Primary Election Voters has been destroyed already
Besides the mass arrest of the organiser and candidates of the "35+ Primary Election", the police also searched the office of the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (PORI) located in Wong Chuk Hang.
PORI assisted in the technical operation of the Primary Election held last July.
Vice president of PORI, Kim-Wah Chung, indicated that the personal data of the roughly 600,000 voters was already completely destroyed a few days following the Primary Election.
According to Chung, hard disks that stored the first 4 digits of the voters' HKID card and all related data were crushed by machines and no data was left behind, therefore voters should not worry about their information being compromised.
Chung criticised the government's intention to create white terror and intimidate everyone. He also thought that if a country is so fragile that even organising a primary election is considered "inciting subversion of state power," the country should review its system, rather than just arresting everyone who took part in the primary election.
He emphasized that the primary election was held only as a solution to an internal issue of a certain party, and the results had no legal effect; rather, it was just a gentleman’s agreement among candidates. He added that every individual, group or organisation should have the right to use various methods to address internal affairs; and the idea that the primary election incited subversion of state power was unconvincing.

Pro-democracy lawyer and 10 more arrested by HK National Security Officer, suspected of assisting 12 Hongkongers fleeing for Taiwan
This morning (January 14), another pro-democracy lawyer and founder of Aegis, a diner in Taipei, Daniel Wong Kwok-tung was arrested and taken away from his home by National Security police officers. Sources revealed that Wong and other 10 civilians, aged 18 to 42 were arrested for assisting the 12 youth fleeing Hong Kong for Taiwan last August.
Hong Kong police has not provided reasons of the arrest.
At around 6am, Daniel Wong, currently a district councilor of Kowloon City, wrote on his facebook that “the National Security Police will arrive at my home at around 6:10. Don’t know which police station I will be taken to. More details to come.”
Wong is known for his persistent in providing legal assistance to anti-ELAB protesters. He also founded #Aegis, a restaurant in Taiwan which employs Hong Kong residents seeking shelter in Taiwan.
Another vocal social activist, Willis Ho, former vice secretary general of Hong Kong Federation of Students, also wrote on her Facebook this morning, stating that her mother has been arrested and being taken to Tsuen Wan Police Station for investigation.
On January 6, Hong Kong Police deployed more than 1,000 officers and arrested more than 50 civilians in one day, including former legislators, district councilors and political activists involved in LegCo primaries last year. They were suspected of violating the National Security Law, although most of them were released on bail on the next day.

HK Government Bans Pro-democracy Group's Flower Stall in Lunar New Year Market
Founded in Hong Kong in 1989, The Alliance in Support of Democratic Patriotic Movements in China organizes the annual June Fourth candlelight vigil at Hong Kong's Victoria Park, in commemoration of the victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre in China.
The Alliance has been running a flower stall at the annual Lunar New Year Market in Hong Kong since 1990 for more than 30 years.
However, after midnight on Feb 6, 2021, the Hong Kong government suddenly terminated the contract for their stall, claiming that they have displayed "irrelevant banners".
In the evening before, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (#FEHD) had ordered the Alliance to remove "banners with political messages" within 2 hours, but without naming them.
The Alliance told Apple Daily that they had no idea which banner carries "political message" in the eye of the government. In the end, they covered the word "donation" and the slogans "Vindicate June Fourth" and "For Freedom, Fight Together".
Despite their willingness to co-operate, the authorities decided to ban the stall completely before they could open. At around 8:30am on Feb 6, the government sent staff to cordon off the area with plastic tape, leaving no ground for discussion.
The chairman of the Alliance Lee Cheuk-yan said that in the past 32 years, the Alliance was able to display similar messages.
