Police confiscate speaker and issue āgathering banā tickets at Protest against Health Code and Mass Surveillance
The Hong Kong SAR government has established a laboratory run by China-owned Beijing Genomics Institute (#BGI) at Hong Kong's Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park for universal voluntary Covid-19 testing without consultation from the public and requested private clinics assisting sample collection.
Neo Democrats members of Roy Tam Hoi-pong and Gary Fan Kwok-wai and Central and Western District lawmaker of Napo Wong Weng-Chi protested outside the stadium on August 16, 2020.
More than 30 police on the scene issued tickets for violation of āgroup gathering banā and confiscated the speaker.
District Councilor Roy Tam stated civilians may lose confidence in private clinics if samples are passed to the China-owned companies for Covid-19 testing. He urged private doctors not to join the plan and criticised that the government ingratiated the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) by sacrificing Hong Kongers.
The pro-Beijing camp has not only promoted the āHong Kong Heath QR Codeā system, but has also proposed only allowing those with the green āHeath QR codeā to dine-in at restaurants. Gary Fan challenged that the reason behind this wired policy is for surveillance to restrict civiliansā freedom of movement.

District Councillors: Universal COVID-19 Test is a tool for mass surveillance and suppression
The Hong Kong SAR Government announced that the voluntary universal COVID-19 Test will take place starting from 1 September, 2020. Many Hong Kong Citizens have been worried that their personal information might be collected and sent to China. Pro-democracy district councillors have been opposing this plan of the government.
In a street both held on 21 August, Tsuen Wan district councillor Roy Tam Hoi-pong, of New Democrats, pointed out that the Hong Kong government has appointed a China owned company, Sunrise Diagnostics Center (#SCD), for running the test. As a Chinese company, they are not qualified for Hong Kong standard and they do not have a valid license to handle the COVID-19 testing. Tam said the government's intention is to achieve its political agenda in the name of āpublic health concernā.
Tsuen Wan district councillor, Roy Pun Long-Chung, also stated that the government has borrowed several Caritas Community Centers as temporary testing centers. Many community centers are equipped with an elderly home. He worried that this would increase the infection risk of the elderly, āthe Government has completely ignored their lives.ā Pun has received many residentsā complaints and was told that many employers has requested their employees to provide COVID-test result before going to the work.
Sai Kung district councillor Gary Fan Kwok-wai criticised the government for failing to put public health as the first priority. Instead, the authorities has postponed the LegCo election and suppressed civilians' rights in the name of pandemic prevention. He described the universal COVID-19 test is a needle in a haystack. The test is not an effective pandemic prevention measure due to its high cost and low efficiency. Moreover, civilians worry that the government may collect and send their DNA sample to China.
Moreover, the āHealth Codeā might be transformed into a āsocial credit systemā as in China for mass surveillance and further suppression of rights.
Fan said, āChina has set many bad examples. With a health code, the code of a healthy reporter changed to yellow and red. (In the health code, yellow means medium risk and red means high risk.) Thus, he couldnāt go anywhere or get onto any transportation. The hotel became his prison.ā He called for civilians to boycott the universal testing scheme.
Jeff Au, Strategy Director of the think tank Community Development Initiative (#CDI), said that the current privacy ordinance doesnāt include DNA and biometrics data and Privacy Commission for Personal Data Hong Kong should extend the ordinance to cover these areas. He has recommended the establishment of an independent committee to monitor the testing procedure, technology management and laboratory operation.
