Hong Kong Police Randomly Arrest Over 200 Young People on Mother's Day, Families Wait Outside Police Station Overnight
Among the 230 people arrested by the Hong Kong police on May 10, most of them are in their teens; however, police had never disclosed the cause of the arrest.
Between 10 and 11 May, over 50 people waited overnight outside the Hung Hom Police Station, hoping to get news of their family members. A mother of a 14-year-old said her son was still getting his fingerprints recorded and the police said he would not be released shortly.
At 10:30 on May 11, some arrestees walked out of the station and said they were charged with "illegal assembly".
In the morning of May 11, a middle-aged woman prayed outside the station for the sake of the arrestees. According to sources, she had also prayed for 22-year-old Chow Tsz-lok outside the ICU of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in November 2019.

Brother of HK activist detained in China reopens online #Lego shop to raise funds for sentencing fee
Over half a year has passed since 12 fleeing pro-democracy Hongkongers were arrested by the Chinese police at sea and detained in China.
10 of the 12 activists that were charged with "illegal border crossing" have already been escorted back to Hong Kong. The remaining two, #Tang KaiYin and #QuinnMoon, were charged by China for "organizing illegal border crossing". They are currently still serving their three-year and two-year sentences in China respectively.
In April 2021, Tang’s younger brother announced on social media that he will reopen his brother's online model shop; he will be selling Tang's stock of discontinued Lego sets.
The profits, after covering rent for the storage space, will mainly be used to pay the fees of Tang’s incarceration in China, as well as his $20K RMB fine.
The remainder will be used to support Tang when he returns to Hong Kong after serving his sentence.
Since the arrest of the 12 Hongkongers, the younger Tang had been busy dealing with the authorities on his brother's behalf, as well as handling the media and taking care of his family. There had been times when he became exhausted and even fell ill, and he admits that he blamed his brother sometimes. "But then I would think, he didn't steal or hurt anyone. There's a reason he did what he did, so ..." he pauses, "I became more accepting and more forgiving."
He says that he had never been a Lego enthusiast. He joked that, although he now spends all his spare time on the online shop, he still couldn't get interested in Lego. He wanted to tell his brother: "Hurry up and come back and deal with your stuff, I don't want to touch it. Take care of yourself; we're family, I'll wait for you."

Remanded Former Lawmaker #AlbertHo Receives Letter from Grandson: "Come Home Soon and We Love You"
Albert Ho, vice-chairman of Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, with 9 other members of the Democratic Party were accused of organising and knowingly taking part in an unauthorized assembly and other charges on October 1, 2019.
All 10 pro-democracy figures pleaded guilty before the hearing. They were then remanded and the sentencing was set to be announced on May 28, 2021.
Ho’s former assistant and currently Tuen Mun District Councillor, Beatrice Chu, posted on her Facebook page that Ho was unwell when she visited him.
Ho said that he has been lacking sleep because he was put in an individual cell that was poorly ventilated.
On May 23, 2021, Chu posted an update on her page that Ho had been moved to a cell with better ventilation, but he still had poor appetite and looked depressed.
She mentioned that Ho’s grandchild wrote a letter to cheer up Ho on May 22, 2021. His grandson said he missed Ho much and that he understood Ho’s life in the cell is “bored and hot, but you have to stay strong! We all love you!"
Ho's grandson also told Ho that he would take good care of Grandma and not to worry.
