Pregnant Woman Subjected to #PoliceBrutality in Hong Kong Makes Formal Complaint
While in her seventh month of pregnancy, a woman surnamed Lau was handcuffed and dragged along the street by Hong Kong police on 20 January. The police insulted her by calling her names like "fatso", even though the woman clearly told them she was pregnant.
Three days later, Ms Lau suffered premature delivery and severe bleeding. Her son, currently in critical condition, had to be monitored in the intensive care unit.
On Feb 10, 2021, Ms Lau made a formal complaint to the police complaint unit. She also handed in videos captured by surveillance cameras and passers-by as evidence.
Ms Lau sobbed when speaking to the media. She said the Police Force had never sent their regards and she hopes that the complaint would be handled in a fair manner.

Citizen Journalist Zhang Zhan Seen Looking Haggard After Hunger Strike in Chinese Prison
The photos of citizen Journalist Zhang Zhan's appearance in court have been released. Zhang is said to have been undergoing a hunger strike for six months, and is seen looking haggard and in a wheelchair when appearing before the court accompanied by two court police in China.
Wang Jianhong, a supporter of the #FreeZhangZhan movement, posted the photos on Twitter, which were taken back in 28 December 2020 when Zhang stood trial at Shanghai Pudong People's Court.
The tweet mentioned Zhang was bound and forced to face the court, stating that, "the wheelchair she was in had a wide belt binding her to the back of her wheelchair preventing movement. She was wearing handcuffs." The tweet also mentioned that Zhang's mother stated to the media that Zhang looked "haggard and thin to the bone" when looked from behind.
Zhang Zhan, who conducted a hunger strike and once rebuked a judge with "This is where we judge you for your sins, not mine", was convicted of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" after posting videos on quarantine measures and the medical situation in Wuhan, and sentenced to four years in prison.
Zhang's lawyer had reported seeing Zhang with a NG tube, while being bound around the wrists and waist.

Hongkongers and Taiwanese, don't be numbed to the darkness
"To destroy a big city, you do not need a natural disaster. A human catastrophe can do too and it does not need to be a war. Just a few words or benighted moves by a few are more than enough to kill a big city".
"Regarding the death of the city, without any word, everyone can see the city is one step at a time walking towards its death. People who can leave will not stay. When more and more people are leaving, it approaches its death even more quickly" Chasing the Dragon by Ni Kuang, a famous Hong Kong novelist.

20 Months On, Hongkongers Continue to Mourn Yellow Raincoat Man
On June 15, 2019, "Yellow Raincoat Man" Marco Leung Ling-kit took his life, by jumping off from the rooftop of a shopping mall, in protest of the extradition bill, which Carrie Lam refused to withdraw despite million-strong protest marches and violent clashes outside the legislature.
20 months later, Leung’s supporters continued to show their respect to his bravery act amidst government’s imposition of National Security Law and COVID19 social distancing restrictions.
A lightbox with words that read, “Belief will never die” was erected among bouquets of white flowers, signifying Hongkongers’ defiance and uncompromising desire for freedom and democracy.

They urged citizens to think twice before downloading the app, which acts no different than a digital tracking device for the Hong Kong government to monitor and trace citizens, disrespecting their freedom and privacy.

Former Pro-Democracy Lawmaker Helps Jailed Activists to Send Flowers on Valentine's Day
In ancient Roman Empire, Father Valetine had helped couples to get married despite the opposition of the authorities. At that time, the Roman Emperor banned marriage, in order to send more people to war.
In 2021-Hong Kong, Bottle Shiu, social worker and former lawmaker, said Valentine's Day is always a commemoration of resistance and he felt even more so in this times.
Shiu said, "It is no longer just a story, but a reflection of our society. Considering hundreds of jailed pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong, the regime first imprisons them physically and then tries to confine their thoughts. Love becomes their way of resistance."
On Valentine's Day 2021, Shiu helped jailed pro-democracy protesters to send flowers to their love ones.

University Student in Hong Kong Develops a Game to Reenact Yuen Long 7.21 Mob Attack: “The Reality is As Absurd As a Game World”
The Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Protests initiated the democracy movement in Hong Kong since 2019. Although street protests have become scarce, the fight for freedom continues in various creative works.
The July 21 mob attack in Yuen Long, the Lennon Wall and the human chains formed by Hong Kong students and citizens became the inspiration to a computer game developed by #Mighcty, a university student in Hong Kong.
“I hope my game players can know what HongKongers have been experiencing.”
Mighcty, a graduating university student, created, on his own, “The Legacy of Datura”, a 2D minimalist role-playing game:
https://mighcty.itch.io/legacy-of-datura
The protagonist, Cyrus, was an ordinary secondary school student, who gained magical power when accidentally stepping into a world of magic, causing attention from the magical “parliament”. When Cyrus returned to his won world, he witnessed citizens being attacked in a tran station by a group of armed men dressed in white. He could not help but use his power to save the passengers, thus beginning his adventurous story.
“The police should uphold justice and protect the citizens, but nothing was done by a organisation who was supposed to be the fairest and most justified," Mighcty said that the 7.21 Yuen Long mob attack in reality ruined his trust in the government. Therefore, he decided to bring in current events into the game which was still in the conceptual stage.
“At first, I only wanted to develop a game to introduce Hong Kong, such as her tourist spots and food culture. But lately, it’s like I don’t know about this Hong Kong anymore. I feel that it is necessary to explain why the city became the way she is now.”

China Has Coal-fired power Capacity Three Times Higher than the Rest of the World
//China put 38.4 gigawatts (GW) of new coal-fired power capacity into operation in 2020, according to new international research, more than three times the amount built elsewhere around the world and potentially undermining its short-term climate goals.
The country won praise last year after Xi Jinping pledged to make the country “carbon neutral” by 2060. But regulators have since come under fire for failing to properly control the coal power sector, a major source of climate-warming greenhouse gas.
Including decommissions, China’s coal-fired fleet capacity rose by a net 29.8 GW in 2020, even as the rest of the world made cuts of 17.2 GW, according to research released by Global Energy Monitor (#GEM), a U.S. think tank, and the Helsinki-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (#CREA). //
