Citizens Continue Monthly Tribute in Remembrance of Police Brutality Victims Despite Mounting Oppression
Today is the last day of 2020, which also marks the 16th month of the 8.31 incident where Hong Kong police forced themselves onto a train landed at Prince Edward MTR station and attacked indiscriminately passengers on the train, pepper-sprayed innocent civilians, and stopped medics from aiding those being injured.
Many pro-democracy protesters, on their way home after a day of peaceful rally, had fallen victim to police brutality on August 31 last year. Known as the 8.31 Prince Edward Incident, this is also remembered as one of the most brutal incidents during the Anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong last year.
Since then, members of the public have voluntarily been going to #PrinceEdward station on the last day of every month, bringing white flowers to pay tribute to the rumoured casualties and the victims of #PoliceBrutality during the pro-democracy movement.
In a bid to silence opposing voices in the city, Hong Kong Police announced that they will arrest citizens going Prince Edward station to lay white flowers in remembrance of this incident, citing COVID-19 and social distancing as excuses.
Although police set up a long cordon line this afternoon as early as 4pm, Granny Wong was sighted near Prince Edward station with white flowers in late evening, holding a light sign that read “#Save12”.
In defiance of stringent police control, some citizens came to show their respect to pro-democracy protesters, bringing a prominent signage that read, “ICAC investigate proactively, arresting the plaintiff Lam Cheuk-ting instead”.

Families of Jailed Hongkongers Attemp to Pay Visit to Chinese Prison Amidst Ambigious Rule Set Up by Chinese Authorities
On Dec 30, 2020, the Chinese court in Yantian, Shenzhen sentenced 10 pro-democracy Hongkongers to Chinese prison for seven months to three years. Another two Hongkongers, who were also captured and detained with the rest of the group since August 2020, were repatriated to Hong Kong, for they were under 18 of age. During their detention so far, the Chinese authorities have barred the 12 Hongkongers from having any external contacts including family and lawyers' visits.
Some detainees' families set off to Shenzhen on the morning of Jan 3, 2021, hoping to complete the quarantine isolation procedure and visit the prisoned as soon as possible.
However, the Justice Bureau of Shenzhen in China amended the visit arrangement in Dec 2020, by "temporarily suspending" the acceptance of foreign personnel on-site visits.
Ms. Chow Hang-tung, a barrister who has assisted the Hong Kong youths’ families, predicted that the families would be considered as foreign personnel, while concrete arrangements need to be further understood.
Former pro-democracy lawmaker Eddie Chu Hoi-dick, who has been supporting the 12 Hong Kong youths’ families, said that the family have departed and arrived in Shenzhen as of 5pm on Jan 3, 2021.
The “12 Hongkonger Concern Group” also stated on the same afternoon that three family members have arrived at Shenzhen and will undergo the 14-day quarantine period. They are going to seek for prison visit right after the first trial’s 10-day appeal period is over, and the judgement has taken effect.

British Lawmakers Condemn China for Breaching Sino-British Joint Declaration
In the 12 Hong Kongers case, 10 adult defendants were sentenced to seven months to three years in prison in Yantian, Shenzhen on December 30, 2020. The other two minors were handed over to the Hong Kong police. The Hong Kong police stated that they could charge them with offence of failing to surrender to custody as shall have been appointed.
The “All-Party Parliamentary Group Hong Kong” of the British Parliament issued a statement on Dec 30, 2020, criticizing the incident as a fierce attack on Hong Kong people’s freedom and is a repeated violation of the "Sino-British Joint Declaration”. The group reiterated that Britain will continue to fight for freedom for Hong Kong people.
Baroness Bennett and Alistair Carmichael, co-chairs of the "All-Party Parliamentary Group Hong Kong” of the British Parliament, said that the arrests represented how Hong Kong people’s freedom were being attacked and was another "shocking" violation of the Sino-British Joint Declaration. “It seems likly they are hoping to warn all the pro-democracy activists, politicians and leaders and show that these people cannot escape the strict National Security Law through these arrests,” they said.
The group states that they hope to send a clear and firm message to Hong Kong people: "We in the UK will not stop fighting for your freedom. We welcome BNO passport holders to live in the UK, where your rights and freedoms will be protected instead of being weaponized.”
The organization "Stand with Hong Kong" also stated that the sentence was unacceptable. They believed that the only "crime" committed by these brave young people was to speak out for democracy and freedom and to protect their own safety. The organization calls on the international community to hold the Chinese and Hong Kong authorities responsible for their violations of the international human rights law.

Musician #RonoFok Encourages Hongkongers to Fight On After Being Arrested over National Security Probe
Hong Kong musician Rono Fok wrote his reflection on facebook on January 18, 2021, after he was arrested and detained by the Hong Kong police for national security violation on January 14:
"I was detained by the National Security police for more than 40 hours. During which, I was once handcuffed to a chain around my waist when being escorted from the Chai Wan police station to the North Point police station. I have also subjected to dozens times of body search. One time I had to strip all my clothes from my upper body.
Around 6am on January 14, 2021, six National Security police officers arrested me at my home in Shau Kei Wan. They accused me of aiding 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers to flee to Taiwan.
Except me, all my family members suffered permanent mental disabilities. I am always thankful for their love and care. When the police arrested me and raided my home, no one from my family has shed one drop of tear, until the moment when the police dragged me away to the lift lobby.
My mother, who is immobile and her right hand disabled, followed closely behind just to have one last look at me. She growled and asked, “What is Hong Kong becoming of?”
I was tranported between the Chai Wan and the North Point police stations, where I interrogated for 3 times under recordings. The National security officers asked me around 300 to 400 questions.
Although meals and drinks were provided, I suffered from hallucination and very mild incontinence when detained in the North Point police station.
It was a cold evening when the temperature dropped below 10 degrees celsius.
When I was escorted from North Point Police Station to Chai Wan, we drove by King’s Road. I recalled the time I went to the nursery, primary school, secondary school and university. I miss my friends and schoolmates. I used to hang out at the park and the ball courts, grab lunch with my schoolmates and play video games in internet café after school.
Perhaps, I will be charged and I will sit for court hearing or even face jail, but I will never give up music and art. I will keep on learning to become your favourite artist.
In case of imprisonment, I will write about my music and stories. My mother is not eloquent, but I hope to share her words to all of you, 'Hongkongers, fight on!'”

The sister of Li told Stand News that barrister Lawrence Law Tat-Hung, who was representing Li in court, was not the lawyer appointed by the family. She further said that she had no knowledge of such a person until she heard it from the news.
Stand News reporters called Lawrence Law Tat-Hung on the morning of March 31, 2021, to inquire whether he had been appointed by Li.
The barrister replied by saying “Excuse me, but I’m not at liberty to say too much”. The reporter also mentioned that Li’s sister did not know him, Law then immediately hung up the phone.
Andy Li was charged with "conspiracy to commit collusion with a foreign country", "conspiracy to assist criminals" and "unlicensed possession of ammunition". The case was heard on the morning of March 31 in the West Kowloon Magistrates' Court.

Over 100 lawmakers around the world condemn HK government's cruel treatment of pro-democracy activists
#AndyLi, one of the 12 Hong Kong pro-democracy activists imprisoned in China, was transferred back to Hong Kong on Mar 22, 2021 after serving his sentence in China; however Li’s family has been unable to reach him for multiple days.
On Apr 2, 2021, the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (#IPAC) issued a statement criticizing the Hong Kong government’s cruel and inhumane treatment towards Li and his family, and called for the release of Li and all pro-democracy activists that are detained unfairly.
Signatories of the statement involve national lawmakers from the UK, US, Canada, Japan, and different European countries, as well as IPAC’s advisors. The statement mentioned that, since Li’s transfer to Hong Kong after serving his 7-month sentence in Shenzhen, Li has been held in a single cell in a psychiatric facility without being able to get in touch with his family. The statement described Li’s treatment as “cruel, inhumane and shocking”.
Li’s case was also described as an “emblematic of the Chinese Government’s ruthless crackdown on Hong Kong’s way of life, and disregard for the international treaties designed to protect it.”. The signatories pledged to make urgent representation to their respective governments, and demanded Hong Kong government to release Li and all activists that are being detained unjustly.
