China Authorities Interrogate Granny Wong for Over 100 Hours and Impose Pyschological Torture and Brainwashing 'Patriotic Education'

'#GrannyWong' Wong Fung-yiu,
Who is known for waving the British flag in Hong Kong pro-democracy protests was detained by Chinese authorities since August 2019.

In a press conference in Hong Kong on Oct 17, 2020, Granny Wong told the press the Chinese authorities ordered her to write confession letter and film confession video.

The content includes claiming that she was neither tortured nor assaulted by the authorities and that she would not participate in protests, wave British flags and be interviewed by the media. Wong said she agreed to these demands in a hope to leave the detention center as early as possible. Wong described it as "the biggest mistake of her life" to have said such things against her conscience.

Wong also recalled being forced to participate in a 5-day "patriotic trip" in China. She was told to take photos with Chinese national flag, sing the Chinese anthem and watch propaganda films and shows.

Wong was subject to over 100 hours of interrogation and had endured indescribable psychological torture in the past year.

Former lawmaker Eddie Chu Hoi-dick, who has been following Wong's situation, wrote on his Facebook page on Nov 21 that he had been searching for Wong since she was out of touch on Nov 20 for a night, it was until the next morning he knew from news report that Wong had been arrested. She was in the hospital's emergency room, and her lawyer is trying to bail her out.

Wong was arrested on her way back to her home in Shenzhen by the Chinese authorities in August 2019. She was detained in China for months and obtained the guarantor pending trial, she then returned to Hong Kong in October this year.

for "participating in unauthorized assembly" ALONE

Granny Wong was alone when the police surrounded and took her away by a police vechicle near the police headquarters.

Earlier, some pro-democracy group in Hong Kong had filed a protest authorization request for May 30, 2021 to commemorate the 1989 June 4th Tiananmen Massacre and condemn the Chinese Communist Party for the brutal crackdown.

The protest, alongside the annual candlelight vigil that has been taking place in Hong Kong's Victoria Park since 1990, was rejected by the Hong Kong police.

On the day, police continued to stop and search passers-by near Southampton Playground in Wan Chai, which is part of the protest route supposedly.

Pro-democracy Activists Reopen June 4th Commemorative Museum in Hong Kong

On May 30, 2021, the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China reopens the June 4th Museum in Hong Kong.

Despite the Hong Kong police's ban on the signature vigil for the second straight year, the Alliance organizes a photo exhibition titled " '89 Movement and Hong Kong" in the museum and called on Hongkongers to commemorate the Tiananmen Square massacre with each of the own ways, wherever they are.

The secretary for the Alliance Choi Yiu-cheong emphasizes that the Alliance would never give up the commemoration.

Tomorrow, June 4, 2021, marks 32 years after June 4th Tiananmen Massacre, a brutal crackdown on pro-democracy civilians by the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing, in 1989.

In Hong Kong, the annual candlelight vig has been banned by the police. Despite that, the Justice and Peace Commission of the Hong Kong Catholic Diocese will continue to organize a Mass outside their seven churches in the evening.

However, on the morning of June 3, 2021, some hostile banners with words "Cult invades religion" were placed outside the churches, smearing the mass as a potential breach of the #NationalSecurityLaw.

Porson Chan, project officer of the Commission, responded that they had no intention to correlate the false accusations on the banner to the June 4 Mass, emphasizing that the Mass is a legal religious activity protected by Basic Law. Thus the event would be held as scheduled.

Shop in Hong Kong Distributes Candles In Commemoration of 32 year-mark of #June4 #TianamenMassacre

The pro-democracy kidswear store #Chickeeduck is giving out free candles from June 2 to June 4, 2021, encouraging fellow citizens to commemorate the June 4th Tiananmen Massacre on their own.

The Tsuen Wan branch has prepared 1,000 sets of candle. The store also has electric candle that writes "Support the Tiananmen Mother" to give away. The storekeeper said they came from a Tsuen Wan district councillor.

When the Tsuen Wan branch of Chickeeduck was inaugurated in May 2021, the store was raided by the national security police. When asked whether they were afraid the same thing would happen, the storekeeper said, "we are not worried, we have been following the procedures."

The Hong Kong Police has for the second year in a row banned the annual candlelight vigil commemorating the victims of Chinese Communist Party's brutal crackdown on the pro-democracy rallies at Beijing's #TiananmenSquare in 1989.
