Police Charge Imprisoned CHRF's Convener Figo Chan for Violating Societies Ordinance
While in jail, Figo Chan, the former convener of the Civil Human Rights Front (#CHRF), was charged by the police under the Societies Ordinance, for not supplying information about the now-disbanded group.
Police confirms that they had charged a 25-year-old man for not supplying information the police requested about the group, including names of members, activities, and funds.
This request came after a police letter to CHRF in April 2021 accusing it to be an "unregistered society". The group publicly responded to the accusation on April 4, 2021, pointing out that the Front had applied and received letters of no objection from the police for the peaceful, non-violent assemblies and marches they held over many years.
Following the latest charge to Figo Chan, police searched a number of premises of the CHRF on October 28, 2021, including the office of the League of Social Democrats. The League's chairperson said, however, the League and the CHRF are two different groups.
