Mother of Detained Pro-democracy Hongkonger: "When Can You Come Home, My Son?”

Wong Wai-Yin is one of the 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers who were arrested by Chinese authorities in late August 2020 and jailed in China since then without any trial and without being able to meet with their families and lawyers.

Wong's mother took a picture near their home, thinking of her son and pleading for his return.

"We live in this village and we cross this bridge everyday. Ever since the [Hong Kong] police raided our home, they blockaded the bridge and sealed off at least half of the village," Wong's mother said, "Whenever I cross the bridge to work or to go back home, I think of you. When can you come home, my son?”

The 12 Hongkongers have been jailed by the Chinese Communist Party government for over 70 days.

7 young activists sentenced to 10 months in jail in Hong Kong after serving in Chinese prison

The #12HongKongers who intended to abscond to #Taiwan reportedly in August 2020 were arrested and detained by PRC's marine police for secretly crossing the border.

Up til July 2022, 2 of these 12 Hongkongers are still being detained in China while 9 were charged for #ObstructionofJustice when they returned to Hong Kong after serving their sentence in China.

Amonh them, Wong Wai-Yin were charged with the #CrimeofExplosives instead of Obstruction of Justice. Hoang Lam Phuc and the others have pleaded guilty and were sentenced to 10 months in jail at the District Court in Hong Kong on July 15, 2022.

Li Chi-yin, who is serving 3.5 years in prison, was added 7 months in jail.

Temporary judge Wong Hing-Wai Newman claimed that their behaviour shows their ignorance and intention to challenge to Hong Kong judicial system.

The judge describes the case as the "first in history" that the Department of Justice charges people who do not return to detention on time for Obstruction of Justice. He says it is a pity to sentence these young defendants after reading their petition letters, but "rules are rules".
