In a leaderless movement...
(24 Aug) Two Hong Kong protestors, aged 17 and 21, were found guilty for obstructing police official administration and endangering the safety of others during the “Operation Dawn” protests on 11 November 2019. They were sentenced to prison for 8 months.
The intriguing verdict given by magistrate So Man-lung Don is problematic and attention-grabbing:
Don So said he was willing to give a light sentence if the 2 defendants were willing to disclose “the leader who masterminded the event”. However the defendants failed to do so. In addition how the 2 of them didn’t stop a 12 years old child from joining and committing the crime together was all the more serious. Without the arrival of police officers, the wooden sticks on the railway would endanger the traffic.
Don So considered 12 month imprisonment as a starting point, due to the 2 defendants pleading guilty, 8 months were sentenced instead.
Editor’s note: Magistrate Don So simply assumed there was a “leader who masterminded the event" but failed to provide any evidence. This idea led to the unfair judgment by assuming the 2 defendants were covering up for their “boss”, which contradicted his supposed fair standpoint.

The Protesters Suspected of Being Beaten to Death by Police; Several Cities in Belarus Demonstrated in Mourning on Saturday
Thousands of people demonstrated in several cities in Belarus on Sunday (15th), not only continuing asking Lukashenko for resignation but also protesting that the police force beat one of the protesters and died during the detention. Protesters lighted up the candle and brought white flowers for mourn, requesting the government to investigate the reason for his death. In capital Minsk, police used tear gas grenade and water cannon vehicles to disperse protesters. According to the local human rights organisation announced, there were at least 928 people have been arrested.
According to foreign media quoted from an eyewitness, suspected plainclothes police officers tried to pull off the red and white ribbon, representing the anti-government camp, outside the Minsk courthouse last Wednesday (11th November). A 31-year-old protester Roman Bondarenko had conflicts with them, but then he had been brought to the police car and got arrested. His family found him in the hospital, and he was still in a coma until last Thursday (12th November), he died because of brain damage. Someone suspected that he was beaten while in detention. However, the local government denied any involvement in his death and said that the fight among the people was the cause for his death.
The EU spokesperson later stated that the incident was the shameful result of violent suppression of the people from the local government, threatened to impose heavier sanctions on the Belarusian government.

#RTHK censors radio show content, calling lyrics from Les Misérables “controversial"
The public broadcaster RTHK has once again removed radio show content, citing "controversial material" as a reason.
In the radio progran “Letter to Hong Kong” scheduled to be aired on April 4, 2021, a letter that district councillor #MarkMo wrote to a detainee was originay planned to be read.
However, on Apr 2, 2021, Mo received a notification from RTHK that based on the new programme editor regulations, pre-approval is required before any controversial topic is put on the show and therefore his letter would not be read out on the show on Apr 4.
The show decided to read a letter written by previous chairman of RTHK Board of Advisors Chan Kin-keung.
According to Mo, he wrote the letter to a detainee that he visited for work reasons. The letter quoted some lyrics from Les Misérables, and mentioned that the democratic camp and the resistance camp are both facing challenges and are reflecting how they should keep going under Hong Kong’s current situation. He was not given a date when the letter will be read.

2 Years After PolyUsiege, 19-year-old HongKongers in Exile: "I Earnestly Want to Return to Hong Kong"
On November 17, 2019, a fierce police-civilian collision broke out at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (#PolyU). The campus were surrounded by armed police. It is the most tragic fight in the #AntiELAB movement in 2019, carving an indelible wound in countless Hongkongers' hearts.
Two years have passed, a large number of pro-democracy #protesters were subjected to reprisal one after another. As a result, some of them were #exiled #overseas without a returning date, including the 19-year-old Ivan
After escaping from the #PolyUSiege, Ivan, like many young protesters, has been facing the "guilt of survivors" and the unknown future.
"I have been thinking for a long time and finally decided to speak out as I would like to overcomd the fear with everyone," Ivan said.
After s year of exile in the #UK, Ivan chooses to "come out of the closet politically", which is different from when he first arrived.
In the past, he participated in the UK rallies anoymously by donning black. Today, he would not cover his face, rather, he would speak in front of a camera in order to let the world hear their voice.
Ivan said, "I would like to tell the world what we are thinking and what we are doing in a new perspective, as well as the reasons behind, including Why I need to taje it to the street, instead of being a "#HongKongPig" [the one who does not care about politics]?"
So "Hong Kong Pig" went on the street.
Before the movement, Ivan was a "Hong Kong pig", who did not care about the happenings in societyn. But then he chose to protest on the street, entering PolyU campus during the siege, even when he was still a secondary school student.
Ten hours later, he tried to escape from the campus but was arrested.
Although he refused to enter into further bail and was released unconditionally, due to the further reprisal by the Hong Kong Police Force, Ivan had been living in fear before leaving HK.
He then left for the UK with his HKSAR Passport and a single flight ticket on November 5, 2020, going on an exile on his own. At the time of leaving, his parents were also kept in the dark.
He avoids mentioning his family and denies recalling the experiences in the protests, but emphasising "not to get the light spot".
Struggling at the edge of the political #asylum after the exile
Not long after Ivan's departure, the police went to his home to arrest him, accusing him of "perverting the course of public justice".
Just a line to the imprisonment, he becomes a #fugitive at the age of19, struggling to survive alone in a new country.
