Mother of Arrested Pro-democracy Shop Owner: "How many families has Carrie Lam broken up! Carrie Lam, you're ruining Hong Kong people's lives!"

On Sept 5, 2020, Hong Kong police arrestss Lai Chun-pong, the owner of "3C Maintenance Workshop", which provides mobile phone maintenance services, on suspicion of being "involved in a large number of firearms and prohibited weapons" seized in Wan Chai and other places before the "International Human Rights Day Parade" on Dec 8, 2019.

Lai appeared before the Eastern Magistracy on the 7 Sept 2020, and was charged with "conspiracy with intention to injure". His bail application was rejected, and Lai will remain in custody until the second hearing on Dec 7, 2020.

After the court adjourned, Lai's relatives and friends were waiting at the exit of the prison vehicle, including his mother as well as a woman carrying a baby and holding a child's hand.

About 50 uniformed police officers came to form a cordon line. When the prison van drove out, Lai's mother called out, "Ah-Pong, add oil [fight on]!" Stricken with sorrow, she continued to lament: "How many families has Carrie Lam broken up!" and "Carrie Lam, you're ruining Hong Kong people's lives!" Others nearby comforted her.

Police once again stopped and searched the citizens outside the court, and drove reporters away.
