Police Storm HKPORI Office, Suspected with Access to Computer with Dishonest Intent

The Pan-Democratic Primary Elections are to be held in the following two days (11 July - 12 July). Erick Tsang, Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, had previously stated that the Primary Elections may involve (or constitute) electoral fraud, making organizers and participants guilty. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data has expressed concerns regarding the issue.

The police stormed the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (HKPORI) Office, an office which has been tasked with the design of the voting system, with a search warrant. It is suspected that the Police is investigating the office for evidence of individuals accessing computers with dishonest intent, with the intention to confiscate all computers in the Institute. Staff stated that Dr Robert Chung, head of HKPORI, was not in the office, and is now negotiating with the police. Lawyers have also arrived at the scene.

4 Pro-democracy Activists Granted Bail while Hearing Will Go On for the 5th Day

19:43 | West Kowloon Magistrates' Court

Pro-democracy lawyer and distre #LawrenceLau Wai-Chung was the first defendant coming out of the court upon bail. He was among the 4 who were granted bail, only when the Department of Justice dropped the appeal.

He thanked the reporters for covering the hearing and waiting outside the court day and night since March, 1, 2021.

Lau said he was lucky as he could be released on bail. 43 out of 47 pro-democracy activists were still detained, as their bail applications were either rejected or pending.

For that reason, Lau said he couldn’t share too much for the time being. He thanked everyone again for following up their case--the 47 pro-democracy activists who were charged with "conspiracy to subverting state powers" for participating in the primary elections within the pro-democracy camp in July 2020.

Frankie Fung, Privileged Youth Turned Activist: "It will be okay even if I don’t get to see the liberation of Hong Kong”

Frankie Fung Tat-chun is one of the 47 members of the pro-democracy camp who were charged with conspiracy to commit subversion. The day before they reported to the police station, Fung was interviewed by In-Media.

Fung has lived a more privileged lifestyle than many, yet he said he has no regrets about running in the primary election for the Legislative Council. “We might not be able to see the liberation of Hong Kong. And I don’t think I will need to see it, as long as I can help pave the road for those behind me. I think I will regret it more if I haven’t done it.”

He wanted to thank his mother the most, “I’m sorry I have let you down.” Fung teared up as he thanks his family for their unconditional support even though they are not too happy with what he is doing. “I know I am selfish and I really am a bad son, but I am still so grateful for my mom.”
