Hong Kong Secondary School Students Establish Alliance to Fight in Solidarity

16:21 | Mongkok

The Hong Kong Secondary School Students Concern Group Alliance (#HKSCGA) was recently established by over 80 pro-democracy concern groups from different secondary schools in Hong Kong.

The Alliance hopes to help students sharing similar value and goal stay in solidarity and facilitate the cooperation between students of different schools.

They set up a booth in Mongkok on Saturday, Feb 7, 2021, raising awareness of the Hong Kong government's plan to turn the Liberal Studies subject into a controversial curriculum addressing National Education and Nation Security Education.

The Alliance is also concern about the political oppression faced by students and teachers. The Alliance said this is a matter that is tied to the future of the younger generation.

HK Government Ambushes To Kwa Wan and Tuen Mun with Mandatory Lockdowns

On the evening of Saturday, Feb 6, 2021, the Hong Kong government rolled out multi-district lockdowns again in To Kwa Wan and Tuen Mun.

The police sealed off Block 9 of Gold Coast in Tuen Mun and Wah Fat Building at Ma Hang Chung Road in To Kwa Wan (see photos) as the “restricted zones”.

The residential building in To Kwa Wan has been already included in the mandatory testing list, before the lockdown plan was announced.

The government did not explain why a lockdown was neccesary, but claimed that if residents can prove thay were tested negative in the past two days, they could be exempted from the mandatory #covid19 testing.

Insofar, the Hong Kong government only found confirmed cases at a positive rate of 0.17% and 0.003% in the first two mandatory lockdowns undertaken on Jan 23 and Jan 26, 2021. No cases were found in all the lockdowns that followed.

HK Government Imposes Lockdown on Residential Building Despite Mandatory Testing Order Issued 1 Day Ago

#DistrictCouncilor Lai Kwong-wai spoke to the media on Feb 6, 2021, next to the "restricted area" sealed off by the Hong Kong Police on Ma Hang Chung Road in To Kwa Wan.

In response to the government's ambush-style lockdown of Wah Fat Building, the District Councilor pointed out that the building has been enlisted on the mandatory test one day ago. This means that the residents were already required to undergo #Covid19 testing, even without the imposition of the lockdown.

Many residents could not see why the government had to enforce an additional lockdown on a Saturday.

Lai also expressed concern about the elderly homes in the area. He said if the government imposed lockdown in those buildings, the impacts would be unimaginable.
