Candle Lights and Christmas Wishes for the 12 Detained Hongkongers

Citizens' Radio hosted a street booth in Causeway Bay on Dec 24, 2020 in support of the 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers detained in China.

"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.

Amidst crackdowns, street booth calls on Hongkongers to never surrender

On September 11, 2021, the Citizen's Radio in Hong Kong hosted a street booth, titled "Resist & Never Surrender".

Organizers of the street booth collected signatures from citizens in support of pro-democracy citizens under persecution, reminding Hongkongers that many have been arrested and detained without trial under the #NationalSecurityLaw, with no clear date of release.

In addition, among the 12 pro-democracy activists arrested last August during their attempt to flee Hong Kong, two are still serving prison sentences in China, while the others 10 are facing further charges in Hong Kong.

Two activists, Tibetan student and exiled Hong Kong activist, arrested in Athens for protesting against Beijing Winter Olympics

Greek police detained two women, 18-year-old Tibetan student Tesla Zoksang and 22-year-old exiled Hong Kong activist Joey Siu, after they attempted to hang banners from the Acropolis in Athens in protest at the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics.

They deployed a Tibetan flag and a banner of “Free Hong Kong, Revolution Now”, and chanted slogans including “Free Tibet”, “Boycott Beijing 2022”, and “No freedom, no Games.”

The Olympic flame for the 24th Winter Games will be lit at Ancient Olympia on Monday and handed over to China at a ceremony in Athens' Panathenian Stadium on Tuesday. The International Olympic Committee’s Executive Board met in Athens on Saturday.

#Hongkongers create human chain and cheer “May Glory to Hong Kong” amidst white terror and #CCP grip

In Hong Kong, on New Year's eve (December 31, 2021), many citizens went up to the #LionRock to count down to the year 2022. Among them, some brought neon light signs that read “GLORY HK” and “FREE HK”.

While some citizens on the site were occupied taking pictures, others lighted up their handphones to form a human chain. Just like the pro-democracy “Hong Kong Way” demonstration in 2019, a line of human chain was soon created, displaying the outline of Lion Rock with the light from the mobile phones.

Together Hongkongers counted down and cheered “May glory to Hong Kong” to welcome 2022.

On the hilltop, some elderly walked by and uttered words of encouragement to the youngsters, “hang on,” “don’t give up”, while others passed on drinks to them.

Down the hill, some citizens raised laser pointers and pointed towards the hill top to echo and show their support.

[Editors' notes: Inspired by the Baltic human chain in 1989, the “Hong Kong Way” was organized by pro-democracy HongKongers in August 2019 during the #AntiELAB Movement.

The human chain expresses Hongkongers' yearning for freedom and basic human rights. Tens of thousands of Hongkongers lined up on pavements, overpasses, waterfronts and parks, snaking a line of nearly 30 miles (50km) long through Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories.
