China Authorities Interrogate Granny Wong for Over 100 Hours and Impose Pyschological Torture and Brainwashing 'Patriotic Education'

'#GrannyWong' Wong Fung-yiu,
Who is known for waving the British flag in Hong Kong pro-democracy protests was detained by Chinese authorities since August 2019.

In a press conference in Hong Kong on Oct 17, 2020, Granny Wong told the press the Chinese authorities ordered her to write confession letter and film confession video.

The content includes claiming that she was neither tortured nor assaulted by the authorities and that she would not participate in protests, wave British flags and be interviewed by the media. Wong said she agreed to these demands in a hope to leave the detention center as early as possible. Wong described it as "the biggest mistake of her life" to have said such things against her conscience.

Wong also recalled being forced to participate in a 5-day "patriotic trip" in China. She was told to take photos with Chinese national flag, sing the Chinese anthem and watch propaganda films and shows.

Wong was subject to over 100 hours of interrogation and had endured indescribable psychological torture in the past year.

Granny Wong Reported Missing is Arrested by Hong Kong police

'Granny Wong' Alexandra Wong Fung-yiu, a Hong Kong pro-democracy protester known for waving the British and the British Hong Kong flags in the frontline, is reported to be missing since Nov 20, 2020.

Granny Wong returned to Hong Kong only recently, after being detained by the Chinese authorities for nearly a year.

It is revealed that the Hong Kong police has just arrested Granny Wong for "common assault" on Nov 20, 2020.

Wong was ill and taken to the hospital before the hearing commenced at Kwun Tong Magistrates' Court on the morning of Nov 21. The hearing is delayed to Nov 23 and Wong is remanded in custody.

Wong's arrest was not disclosed until it was found out by the reporters who have been following the court cases. As the reporters pressed further on the question, the police issued a statement at 18:48 on the evening of Nov 21, saying that a 64-year-old woman was arrested in Central District the day before on suspicion of assaulting a security guard at the High Court on January 22, 2019 and this woman is charged with "common assault".

Former lawmaker Eddie Chu Hoi-dick, who has been following Wong's situation, wrote on his Facebook page on Nov 21 that he had been searching for Wong since she was out of touch on Nov 20 for a night, it was until the next morning he knew from news report that Wong had been arrested. She was in the hospital's emergency room, and her lawyer is trying to bail her out.

Wong was arrested on her way back to her home in Shenzhen by the Chinese authorities in August 2019. She was detained in China for months and obtained the guarantor pending trial, she then returned to Hong Kong in October this year.

While paying tribute to 'yellow raincoat man' Marco Leung Ling-kit, they displayed handbills that read “Say No to the Leave-Home-Safe-App”.

They urged citizens to think twice before downloading the app, which acts no different than a digital tracking device for the Hong Kong government to monitor and trace citizens, disrespecting their freedom and privacy.

HK Police Arrest #GrannyWong
for "participating in unauthorized assembly" ALONE


On Sunday, May 30, 2021, Granny Wong was arrested by the police at around 15:19 in Wan Chai for "participating in unauthorized assembly".

Granny Wong was alone when the police surrounded and took her away by a police vechicle near the police headquarters.

Earlier, some pro-democracy group in Hong Kong had filed a protest authorization request for May 30, 2021 to commemorate the 1989 June 4th Tiananmen Massacre and condemn the Chinese Communist Party for the brutal crackdown.

The protest, alongside the annual candlelight vigil that has been taking place in Hong Kong's Victoria Park since 1990, was rejected by the Hong Kong police.

On the day, police continued to stop and search passers-by near Southampton Playground in Wan Chai, which is part of the protest route supposedly.
