Yuen Long District Councilor to Run in Pro-democracy Camp's Primary

On June 19, Ng Kin-wai, Yuen Long district councilor and member of Tin Shui Wai Connects announced plan to join the Pro-democracy Camp's primary for the Legislative Council election in September. The primaries will be held in July.

On the same list with Ng is Lam Chun, who is currently charged with riotting. Ng has just sold his flat to fund their election campaign. It was a day before the news about the Security Law legislation came out.

Ng said this means Hongkongers cannot back down anymore and should give it all out in this fight, "If our generation refuses to act, the next generation will suffer. As long as we are determined to fight against Communist China, Hong Kong will definitely restitute on one day."

#TinShuiWaiConnection Reminds Hongkongers to Resist Government's Whitewashing

19:49 | Yuen Long

Yuen Long district Councilor Lam Chun, of the district concern group Tin Shui Wai Connection, displayed an event chronicle of July 21, 2019, where white-clad mobs attacked civilians and passengers including those returning from a pro-democracy protest of the day.

Not only that the police reportedly turned a blind eye to the attacks, but the authorities have been whitewashing the happenings of the day since then. RTHK journalist Bao Choy was even arrested for giving false statement when conducting journalistic investigation.

In the video, Lam expressed frustration and rage at the authorities organised actions to distort the 721 incident in 2019. He called for citizens to collect and retain relevant materials. Lam said hopefully, 721 incident will be justly recorded as part of Hong Kong history in distant future.

HK District Councilor saddened for less street activism and potential imprisonment over national security breach

2010| Yuen Long

Lam Chun was one of the 53 pro-democracy activists arrested in early January, 2021 for alleged violations of the #NationalSecurityLaw.

In the video, Lam admitted less resources in pro-democracy street activism following the imposition of the National Security Law and the heightened social distancing restrictions.

He said, “when I was arrested earlier this month, I was concerned about being detained or even imprisoned, because that will mean even less resource will be available for the remembrance activities of the Anti-ELAB movement, for instance, on the 21st and the 31st day of every month.”

When talking about possible prison sentence, Lam said activists are now facing ever severe consequences than rioting. Instead of 10-year imprisonment, they could be put behind bars for a life time.
