Kowloon Bay Yellow Shop to Close in Nov 2020
Agape Garden in Kowloon Bay might seem like just a simple yellow shop, but it is also a charity that gives out food to poor elderly citizens. On May 30, the restaurant owners were notified that the Housing Society will not renew their lease. It was suggested that the decision was made on political considerations.
Mr. Lam, owner of the shop, is very worried that his staff will be unemployed, and the elderly whom they take care of will starve.

4 Must-do’s as a University Student - Put on Gear, Get Arrested, See a Doctor, and Face the Court
“Ah Yin” was one of the arrested during the PolyU incident. After being released on bail for a week, he found himself easily irritated. He could not focus on his work and he could not control his emotions. Like many others, he suffers from PTSD.
He suggested that he will not plea guilty because he and others like him never wanted to disrupt social order.

Some of them chanted slogans of encouragement and signed “five demands, not one less” outside the court. The police cordoned off the area and monitored the crowd closely.
The case of the 47 pro-democracy activists marks one of the largest crackdowns on civil society by the Hong Kong authorities. They were arrested in January 2021 for breaching the national security law that was imposed by Beijing on Hong Kong since June 2020.

Hong Kong Court Refuses to Answer Whether Jury Trial Would Take Place for #47Democrats
On May 31, 2021, the 47 Hong Kong pro-democracy advocates charged with national security breaches appeared at the West Kowloon Magistracy.
The prosecution demanded the case to be transferred to the High Court, which could impose penalties of up to life imprisonment.
The counsel – representing 'Long Hair' Leung Kwok-hung, Jimmy Sham and Lester Shum – asked the court whether a jury trial would take place. However, the Chief Magistrate Victor So did not give any answer.
Out of the 47 defendants, only 11 were previously granted bail. They showed up at the hearing to support the other 36 who have been detained for more than 90 days.

#NeverForget: 21 Months Since the 8.31 Prince Edward Station Attack by the Police
May 31, 2021 marks 21 months since the Hong Kong Police attacked the Prince Edward subway station and assaulted passengers in the train and on the platform.
In face of the heavy police presence and the fear of the National Security Law, some Hongkongers insisted in mourning the casaulties of the pro-democracy movement.
The photos captured a senior citizen praying with a candle next to the subway station. During the Anti-ELAB protest, a make-shift altar was installed next to the station for citizens to pay tribute to the victims of the movement.

Ex-Lawmaker #EmilyLau Calls Out Unfairness in NSL Trial Procedures, As Hundreds Gather Outside 47 Democrats' Court Hearing
Video: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/29878
Former Democratic Party chairperson Emily Lau was among the large crowds of Hongkongers who turned out on Monday, May 31, 2021, in support of the #47Democrats, who appeared in court at the West Kowloon Magistracy,
"I'm not a lawyer," Lau said, "but I think that if they haven't finished investigations -- and it could go on for who knows how many more months, how many more years -- then finish it first, and let the people go! Why keep them all locked up?"
"This is not how things used to work in Hong Kong." said Lau, who had been involved in politics since the first direct election of LegCo in 1991. "That's why you see so many people coming out today. Everybody is incensed."
"You have to be more fair," Lau continued.
"Others have also said the same thing: free the people first, then they can take as long as they want with the investigations. But no, they haven't gathered enough evidence, they said; they needed to investigate carefully, they said."
"It's handled so badly! How could they do this?"
The case is adjourned until July 8, 2021, when the 47 Democrats will appear in court again. The 36 defendants who had not been granted bail continue to be held in custody.
