Social Welfare Sector Stands In Solidarity In Support of the Pro-democracy Movement
2030 | Central
The “Social Welfare Sector: Humanitarian Crisis Assembly” was held at 1900 at Edinburg place, Central on December 17, as part of a series of rallies and strike by the social welfare sector this week
One of the speakers on the assembly was Sonia Ng, who was remanded in custody and is now a vocal figure against police’s sexual violence at San Uk Ling Holding Centre. “Hong Kong girls are now much stronger than ever before,” She encouraged Hongkongers. She listed a few examples, like Hong Kong girls know how to distinguish different kinds of respiratory masks, and they are talking like truck drivers when they are assisting frontliners or fighting on the frontline. She emphasized that the Revolution is reconnecting Hongkongers, as well as her fiancé and her – they are getting married next year. People congratulated and cheered for her.

Only candidates who were subsidized by the pro-establishment camp were assisted, and none came from the pro-democracy camp.
The convener emphasized that it is unacceptable for the Government to assist candidates that had lost the election due to a popular vote.

When they passed by shops with Mainlanders, they asked,”Why are you here? We support you to use products from China.”

Ventus Lau arrested for letting too many people into Chater Garden to attend a lawful assembly
Mr Lam, Spokesperson of the Civil Assembly Team quoted his conversation with the police that Ventus Lau, applicant of the Assembly, was arrested for alleged incitement of public sentiment and breach of a specific provision stipulated in Letter of No Objection which states the assembly “shall not over-crowd Chater Garden”.
Lam claimed that even before the Assembly has commenced, Lau had already explained to participants that once the crowd in Chater Garden has exceeded a certain level, existing participants will be asked to head toward Admiralty and disperse peacefully to alleviate assembly traffic so that new comers can flow in the Chater Garden to attend the assembly. So, it was hard to understand why Lau was still arrested for violating this provision.
Editor’s Note: In August 2019, Ventus Lau was arrested together with a group of rally volunteers in Kwun Tong. The rally also received a Letter of No Objection from the police and Lau was also the organizer.
