Hong Kong's Pro-democracy Fund Cannot Open an Overseas alAccount due to Operational Limitation, Calls for Nonthly Donation to Avoid Asset Freeze
The Hong Kong Police continues to freeze the assets of the Good Neighbour North District Church and former legislator Ted Hui, with the course of "fighting money laundering".
The 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund issued an announcement on Dec 17, 2020, stressing that the risk of fund blockade was unmeasurable. As their funding sources and expenses are generated locally, they were unable to open an overseas account due to operational limitation.
The 612 Fund believed that the best way to counter the authorities' oppression was receive monthly donations from the publuc through their website, so that their funds would not sum up.
Barrister Dr. Margaret Ng, one of the Funds' trsutees, confirmed it in her interview with Apple Daily, that multiple measures had been taken, including increasing transparency, balancing income and expenses, reducing savings amount and strengthening communication with the public.
She said, "We have taken precautions. We will keep the ledgers properly, and we have kept an good eye on our accounts, so that banks won't have a good reason to freeze us."

Former Reporter Charged with Rioting in Hong Kong: Losing the 612 Fund is Like Losing a Backing
Since 2019, the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund have been providing financial support to the pro-democracry protesters arrested in the #AntiELAB movement in Hong Kong. On August 18, 2021, the Fund annouced that they would suspend their operation. Their record shows that there are still 1,274 ongoing cases as of May 2021.
Ari (a pseudonym), who was previously a #AppleDaily reporter and currently unemployed, was charged with rioting during the AntiELAB movement in 2019. She is one of the arrested persons receiving support from the 612 Fund.
She described the 612 Fund as a firm backing the arrested people who were unsure about their future and struggle to live normally. The Fund relieved part of their financial burden; however, after the suspension of the Fund, Ari would hesitate before filing a legal review, if she would be convicted.
