"Jail First, Trial Later": Ex-Lawmaker in Hong Kong Blasts National Security Trial for Lack of Due Process
1800 | West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts

https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/28863
On the early evening of March 1, 2021, former lawmaker #LeeCheukYan talked to reporters outside the court, as he was waiting for the updates on the court hearing of the 47 pro-democracy activists on trial under the #NationalSecurityLaw, along with many supporters at the scene.
It was revealed in the day's court proceedings that the prosecution had not yet finished their investigations, even though the case is already being brought to court.
Lee criticized the lack of due process under the draconian law, and called the government's tactics "dirty and self-contradicting".
"The authorities clumsily arrest all these people before they got their evidence together. Now that they're not ready for the trial, they wouldn't grant them bail. But this is how Hong Kong's law is like now," Lee said.
"The government is even wasting the judge's time," Lee added sympathetically, in reference to the prosecution asking to delay the case for another two months until May 2021.
"Worse yet, after all this charade, they might still not grant us bail. Then our defendants would end up jailed without trial for months," Lee pointed out.
When asked about the eight activists who were arrested together with the 47 but were not charged today, Lee says that the government's choice not to prosecute them seems intended to instigate divisions within the pro-democracy camp.
However, it only made their arrest even more ridiculous: "They don't even have evidence for the 47 they charged today, let alone the eight." Even so, Lee said, the government showed its intent to first keep the 47 pro-democracy activists and politicians behind bars for some time. "You simply don't know when they'll be free. The whole thing is ridiculous."

Unafraid of Authorites' Oppression: The Faces of the Arrested Pro-Democracy Activists in Hong Kong
On January 6, 2021, 53 pro-democracy activists were accused of violating the #NationalSecurityLaw for participating in pro-democracy camp's primary election. Police made arrested at their homes in the early morning.
In less than two months, the police demanded them to report to the police stations ahead of the scheduled date. On Feb 28, 2021, 47 of them were charged with "conspiracy to subverting state powers".
In these #portraits taken earlier, the facial expression of these pro-democracy Hongkongers were captured in close-ups: Some eyed a sharp warning glance; some looked more determined than ever; some were really calm--none of them would surrender.
During the interview, they were more relaxed and peaceful than others. They tried to enjoy freedom to the most as if it was the last time.
