Prosecutor: Leaving Hong Kong after Attending June 4 Tiananmen Massacre Vigil is Absconding
In Hong Kong, 26 pro-democracy activists were charged with "unlawful assembly" by attending the Tiananmen Massacre Vigil in Hong Kong in 2020.
The prosecution attempted to apply for the imposition of bail conditions prohibiting defendants from leaving Hong Kong. Among the 26 defendents, former Demosisto chairperson Nathan Law Kwun-chung and Sunny Cheung, former spokesman for the Hong Kong Higher Institutions International Affairs Delegation (#HKIAD) had left Hong Kong.
The Magistrate pointed out that the summon was made on August 6, 2020 while Nathan Law had left Hong Kong as early as June 27, 2020.
Prosecution, however, insisted that by attending the "unlawful assembly" on June 4, “Law knows well he has breached the law.” Co-defendants in the court all laughed at this unprofessional explanation.

#JoshuaWong: Don't Let the World Change Us
In almost 2 years since the Anti-ELAB movement broke out in 2019, Hong Kong's representative figures of the pro-democracy "resistance" camp are either in jail or in exile.
Among them, former lawmaker #EddieChu, former journalist #GywnethHo, district councillors #LesterShum and #TiffanyYuen have been detained and denied bail since late February 2021. They are among the 47 pro-democracy activists arrested for joining the primary election in 2020.
Former chair of #Demisisto #NathanLaw and former spokesman for the Hong Kong Higher Institutions International Affairs Delegation (#HKIAD) #SunnyCheung have to sever ties with their family in Hong Kong and live in exile.
On March 30, 2021, district councillor #JannelleLeung and activist Joshua Wong, alongside Shum and Yuen, were trialed for taking part in an "unauthorised assembly" on #June4 in Victoria Park in 2020.
They were among 24 pro-democracy figures who were charged for participating in the annual candlelight vigil to commemorate the victims of the 1989 #TiananmenSquareMassacre in Beijing. The vigil was for the first time banned by the Hong Kong police in 2020. It is still uncertain that whether the annual rally could be held in 2021.
The four pro-democracy activists admitted to joining the rally and were remanded in custody. In the courtroom, Joshua Wong yelled, "Even if we cannot change the world, don't let the world change us."
The 24-year-old Wong is currently serving his sentence for surrounding the police headquarters during the #AntiELAB protest, while being additionally charged with other offences connecting to the primary election and June 4th #vigil.
