Concern Group Calls for Local and International Attention to Save 12 Pro-democracy Hongkongers Arrested by China
Concern group convener Owen Chow Ka-shing, former Secretary General of Demosisto Joshua Wong Chi-fung and former legislator Eddie Chu Hoi-dik and district councillor Lester Shum called for an online assembly on Sunday, October 25, to show support to the 12 Hongkongers detained in China and their families.
Owen Chow expressed that only international attention could bring hope to this case. He revealed that 30 cities will voice support in various formats around the globe, such as assembly or rally from October 23 to October 25.
With reference to Granny Wong’s experience of detainment in China, Eddie Chu expressed that with more attention from Hong Kong and around the world, the treatment of those detained in China will be significantly improved. He asked Hongkongers to continue paying attention to the case in order to put pressure on Chinese authorities.
Joshua Wong sponsored printing 50,000 copies of “Never Forget 12 Fellow Protesters” on transparency sheets in a bid to encourage Hongkongers’ continued support. Each sheet carried a name of one of the detainees, a small boat and a short message that read, “Bring Them Back”.
The design of the transparencies was inspired by Zhen Jianghua, a human right activist in China who was also arrested and detained.
Lester Shum said that 23 October marks the 60th day since the 12 youths' official arrest and detainment in China. Shum asked for Hongkongers' attention on this case, which he believed would provide support to the detainees and their families, so that they would know that they were not left alone.

HK Pro-democracy Activist Arrested Again on Birthday: More Hongkongers will Face Arrest, Trial and Jail during Surging Political Oppression
In January 2021, the National Security unit of the Hong Kong Police Force made a mass arrest of 55 democrats, citing their involvement in thr Legislative Council primary election in 2020 as a "breach of #NationalSecurityLaw".
Most of the arrestees on bail were told to report to the police station on February 10, 2021. #OwenChow, who has been actively assisting the familes of the 12 pro-democracy Homgkongers jailed in China, is one of them.
When reporting to the police station as instructed, Chow was arrested again on Feb 10, 2021 on suspicion of "rioting" for purportedly entering the Leglistive Council building on 1 July 2019. Chow was later released on HK$10,000 bail in the evening.
Chow expressed that in view of growing #PoliticalOppression, more pro-democracy supporters will be arrested, trialed, and jailed in the future.
“I believe the authorities can never arrest all those who yearn for democracy. So long as we maintain our resolution, the revolution will not end until we succeed.”
He wished that Hongkongers could survive the times of the #WhiteTerror untroubled.
February 10, the day he was re-arrested, is also Chow’s birthday. He said that it was an unforgettable birthday for him to face an additional criminal charge of "rioting".
Although he took it in peace, Chow admitted that he missed having birthday dinner with his family. Chow called on everyone to treasure the time spent with their family.
During Chow’s interview with the media, the police interrupted repeatedly, urging the reporters to disperse.

Detained HK Activist #OwenChow: Good Works Are Always Born in the Worst of Times
On June 22, 2021, Owen Chow, a 24-year-old pro-democracy activist, was finally granted bail after being detained for months.
Chow was among the 47 pro-democracy figures who were arrested by the police for participating in the Primary Election of the pro-democracy camp in 2020. They were charged with subverting the state under the National Security Law.
Among the 47 people detained, Chow is only the 12th person who has been granted bail; however, he was barred by the High Court from making any speeches or take part in any action that could be seen as "endangering national security". He cannot participate in any elections or contact foreign officials.
In addition, Chow has to surrender all his travel documents and not to leave Hong Kong. He has to report to the police every evening and observe an overnight curfew.
Leaving the detention center for the moment, Chow said to the journalists, "Good works are always born in the worst of times."

Hong Kong Pro-democracy activist arrested again for posting on Facebook while on bail
#OwenChow Ka-sing, on bail pending his subversion trial, was arrested when he reported back to Police Station on January 12, 2022.
Chow was told he had violated the bail conditions for making a remark on his Facebook regarding the Legislative Council election took place in December in Hong Kong.
On December 19, 2021 (the day set for the Legislative Council election in Hong Kong), Chow shared two quotes on his Facebook page.
The first one came from #ChrisTang, the Secretary for Security which stated "there could be local lone-wolf terrorist attack on election day".
The other one was from a police hotline operator, "If you are frightened, stay home." The quote was captured on July 21, 2019 when hundreds of citizens called police station in Yuen Long for their assistance when pro-democracy protesters were brutally attacked by white-clad local gangsters.
Along with these two quotes, Chow made a small remark that read, "you told me to stay home when being frightened."
Owen Chow is among the 47 democrats being arrested in January 2021 on suspicion of conspiring to subvert state power for their involvement in a legislative council primary election.
Chow was granted bail in June 2021.
