Hospital Authority Retaliates on Medical Workers Indiscriminately
Hong Kong Hospital Authority Employees' Association (#HAEA) initiated a 5-day strike in early 2020, calling on the Hong Kong Government to close all the borders to stop the spread of the Coronavirus from China to Hong Kong. Thousands of medical workers had joined the strike.
Since then, the Hospital Authority (#HA) had threatened its employees multiple times with regard to the strike. In February 2020, the authorities issued letters to medical workers and demanded an explanation on their "absence" during the days of the strike.
In the Radiology Department of Princess Margaret Hospital, several medical workers had joined the strike. The management demanded the department head Dr Ma Ka-fai to hand in a name list of the relevant employees. Dr Ma refused.
According to Stand News, the Human Resources Department recently sent an email to all doctors in the Radiology Department, claiming they had all joined the strike. Vice chair of the union HAEA Law Cheuk-yiu condemned the HR Department for pressuring the Radiology Department.

This is how HK treats their medical staff after everything they've done to fight COVID. The HK government is trying to induce fear in every possible way to silent our voices.

The Fall of Hong Kong
On Jan 22, 2020, Hong Kong recorded its first "highly suspected" coronavirus case, to cite from Secretary for Food and Health Sophia Chan.
The case was a 39-year-old man of Chinese nationality who had travelled to Wuhan and arrived in Hong Kong from China via the high speed train.
One year has passed. The total number of #COVID19 cases in Hong Kong hit nearly 10,000 and cost the life of 168 people.
On Jan 22, 2021, the Hong Kong's Hospital Authorities (#HA) even issued a letter to its employees, demanding them to return their salary during the strike.
In 2020, medical workers went on strike for the first time in history, demanding nothing but the shutdown of the border with China, in order to prevent the spread of the virus.
In response to the authorities, the Hospital Authorities Employees Association (#HAEA) chairperson Yu Wai-ming said "then why didn't you close the border back then?"

#Interview #Courage
Union Leader in Hong Kong Has No Regrets for Pro-democracy Quest and Pledges to Fight til the Very End
Winnie Yu Wai-ming, the chairlady of the Hospital Authority Employees Alliance (#HAEA) has rehearsed in her mind for many times of being arrested.
Early in the morning at 6am on January 6, 2021, Yu heard loud thumps on her door followed by blaring commands, “Hong Kong Police. Open the door. Hong Kong Police. Open the door.”
Yu’s husband opened the door as instructed. Police rushed in to arrest Yu for her involvement in Legislative Council Primary Election in 2020.
Being arrested for the first time in her life, Yu faced severe charges of the "subversion of state power" under the #NationalSecurityLaw (#NSL).
Not only was she not afraid, but she also remained so calm that she has surprised evern herself.
Alone in the prison cell that night, she did not pity herself but other fellow protesters who were also being arrested. She thought to herself, “they must have faced much worse treatment than I do.”
Yu was known for sheding tears easily, but Yu didn’t cry at all after the arrest, “crying is giving in to the authorities.”
Even after she was released on bail, Yu didn’t think of stepping down from the frontline. Instead she seized the time to do as much as she could.
Yu often tells people that she has “no regrets”. In just over a year, Yu experienced a lot from partaking in anti-ELAB movement and involving in the primary election to being arrested. Yu said there were no regrets. With a smile on her face, Yu said, “I think I am stiff-necked.”
Nevertheless, Yu has once considered leaving Hong Kong. Now with her travel documents confiscated, Yu said resolutely, “I chose to stay put and I won’t regret. If any Hongkonger wishes to stay and continue the fight, I am willing to fight with them til the end.”

On Feb 28, 2021 in Hong Kong, pro-democracy students and hospital workers held a street booth in Mongkok, to call for Hongkongers to boycott the government's "#LeaveHomeSafe" mobile app, rejecting the regime's surveillance and tracking. They also call on Hongkongers to resist to the end.
The booth is held by #StudentPoliticism together with Hospital Authority Employees Alliance (#HAEA).
In addition to calling for the boycott of the tracking app, they also call attention to the police's political persecution of the participants in the "35+" pro-democracy primary elections in 2020.
On Feb 28, 2021, the police announced that the arrestees are charged for sedition under the National Security Law, and will be brought to court on the morning of the next day on March 1.
Spokesperson of Student Politicism Wong Yat-Chin encouraged citizens to attend the court hearing to show support for the pro-democracy camp.
In Mongkok, thd police deployed over 30 officers to surround the small street booth; at one point, the officers occupied two-thirds of the pedestrian walkway. They left after recording personal details of the activists, and warned them not to be too loud.
In less than an hour later, the police hoisted the "#purpleflag" warning civilians in the area of potentially "violating the #NationalSecurityLaw".

Hong Kong Govt blames "smear campaign" as seniors cancel vaccination bookings in droves
The Hong Kong government issued a statement, accusing an unnamed medical professional group of "smearing" the government's vaccination program.
The Health Authority Employees Alliance (#HAEA) responded in a facebook post on March 18, 2021, reiterating their criticisms against the vaccination program. The medical workers' group pointed out again that the third-stage data remains insufficient for the Sinovac vaccine on patients above 60 years of age. Therefore they remain opposed to the Hong Kong government's call for citizens to receive the made-in-China Sinovac vaccine.
The group stressed that they had never been opposed to vaccination in general.
Meanwhile, the numerous deaths following vaccinations seem to have shaken the faith in the vaccine among senior citizens, although the government's expert committee insisted that the deaths are not directly related.
Speaking on a radio show on the public broadcaster RTHK, Lin Wai-yiu of the Society for Community Organization noted that they had been assisting seniors with vaccine-related inquiries. In the beginning of the program, most inquiries came from those who wanted to take the vaccine. Recently, however, half of the seniors who called wanted to cancel their appointments.
"They're cancelling in droves," Lin said. "Perhaps they read about the severe cases, and they were concerned whether their health condition is suitable for the vaccine."
He added that the government had cautioned that those with chronic illnesses should be be careful with the vaccine, but 70% of seniors often have some chronic illnesses. Additionally, some of them do not have the ability to make a medical judgment and cannot evaluate the risks involved; they would cancel their booking first, and make a decision later after consulting with their doctor.

#NeverSurrender: Hong Kong Hospital Authorities Employees' Alliance Speaks Up for June 4 Tiananmen Massacre
On Sunday, May 30, 2021, the Hong Kong Hospital Authority Employees Alliance (#HAEA) set up a street booth in Causeway Bay, calling on Honngkongers not to surrender to political suppression.
The Hong Kong police banned a protest on the day and the annual candlelight vigil commemorating the victims of the 1989 June 4th Tiananmen Massacere in Hong Kong's Victoria Park on June 4, 2021.
Soon after the pro-democracy representatives of the medical workers' union set up their booth at around 16:30, the police intercepted them and had their personal information recorded.
The police officers stayed and monitored the booth at close range in the shoppers' district.
A black banner is displayed next to the booth. The words in white read "The Battle of Memory".

Hong Kong Authorities Warn Medical Workers' Union Over Film Screenings Related to Tiananmen Massacre
The Hospital Authority Employees Alliance (#HAEA) has been warned by the government's Office for Film, Newspaper and Article Administration (#OFNAA), when they organized screenings for the film "Conjugation" and the documentary "I Have Graduated".
Both films are related to the Chinese Communist Party's brutal crackdown on pro-democracy citizens at Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989, in Beijing.
The Union recounted that their office was visited by the film censors without prior notice on the evening of May 27, 2021. The authorities demanded the Union to answer whether approval has been sought to show the films. Responding to media's inquiry, the film censors claimed that they received "inquiry" whether the screenings had followed the Film Censorship Ordinance.
The Union condemned the film censors for not showing their identification cards and taking photos of the office.
