HK Pro-democracy Activist punished in solitary confinement for arbitrary offences
On July 20, 2021, Former Councilor of Southern District, #TiffanyYuen Ka-wai, had finished serving her 4-month jail term after taking part in the June 4 vigil at Victoria Park in 2020, which was banned by the police for the first time in 30 years.
At the end of her prison term, she was sent to the Lo Wu Correctional Facility to continue to be detained for charges linked to the pro-democracy camp primaries of Legislative Council election in 2020.
At the detention cell, she hugged several other pro-democracy activists also being detained.
Soon afterwards, Yuen was penalized by the authorities for “making physical contact with other prisoners” and placed in solitary confinement for 10 days.
Yuen’s friend Wong Li-li told reporters that there was no enforcement guidelines in the Correctional Services Department decision. Wong explained that “physical contacts” occur naturally in prison routines, condemning that the Department’s decision is arbitrary and targeting unfairly at Yuen.
Look into the Prison Rules in Hong Kong for offences against prison discipline, it certainly didn’t consist of making “physical contact with other prisoners," Wong said.

Hong Kong student activist traumatised by national security probe
On July 29, 2020, the National Security Department of the Hong Kong Police Force arrested several members of #StudentLocalism, a pro-democracy student organization in Hong Kong, including the group’s convenor #TonyChung Hon-lam and spokersperson, #YanniHo Yan-nok on suspicion of "inciting secession".
A year later, Chung was still in custody, although Ho was released unconditionally in early 2021 and her passport was returned to her.
Ho left Hong Kong subsequently for the US and expressed her thoughts on social media.
Ho wrote that although a year has passed, she could still recall clearly the moment when she was arrested by the National Security Police. The shock and fear lingered in her mind.
She was only 17 year old and was stunned by the arrest. It has never come across to her that she could be among the first arrestees by National Security Police and she was not mentally prepared.
Ho said that she is now residing in US, a land of freedom. Despite that, she could not distance herself from the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong, especially when knowing that her friends are facing national security charges and unpredictable sentences.
Ho wrote, “I’ve lost too much last year. Many of my friends have been detained, imprisoned and in exile. I, indeed, regret for not spending more time with them when we were still free.”

Another Civil group disbands over 'suppression' in Hong Kong in one week
Just five days after the disbandment of the Hong Kong Professional Teachers’ Union (#HKPTU), another well-respected pro-democracy community group, the Civil Human Rights Front (#CHRF) also announced that it is disbanding today (August 15), both citing immense pressure amid radical social and political changes causing the group no longer to operate.
“Unfortunately, for the past year or so, the government repeatedly used the pandemic as a pretext to reject the Front and other organisations’ applications to hold rallies.” “Our member groups were suppressed, and civil society is facing unprecedented challenges,” the #CHRF statement read.
"The Front had wanted to maintain its operations and brace the difficulties with everyone else. But our convenor Figo Chan is already incarcerated over numerous cases. The secretariat can no longer operate, and since no one had indicated they will take over, [the Front] has no choice but to disband," the statement said.
Representatives of its member groups attended a meeting on August 13 and had unanimously decided to dissolve with immediate effect. A remaining fund of HK$1.6 million assets will be donated to suitable organisations.
“We thank the Hong Kong people for walking side by side with the Front in the past 19 years.” The statement continued that HongKongers’ participation in the mass protests organised by the Front had “allowed the world to see Hong Kong, allowed light to shine through darkness, and had sewn the seed of democracy and freedom in people’s heart.”
Responding to the group’s disbandment, the Hong Kong Police continued to challenge the group’s operation has been “illegal”, reiterated that the group and its members remain criminally liable for the offence committed, regardless of the disbandment or the resignation of its members.
On Aug 13, Police chief Raymond Siu warned during an interview with CCP mouthpiece Ta Kung Pao that police had gathered all evidence necessary “to take action against the illegal organisation anytime.”
Siu's warning came even though the group had not organised any protests since the national security law came into force last July.

Defiant University Students Carry Out Pop-Up Protests on Graduation Day, Calls Attention to Persecuted Students
November 4 marked the annual graduation ceremony of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK). Although no large-scale protests were seen this year under the iron grip of the National Security Law, traces of defiance still sprang up around the campus.

Defiant University Students Carry Out Pop-Up Protests on Graduation Day, Calls Attention to Persecuted Students
November 4 marked the annual graduation ceremony of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK). Although no large-scale protests were seen this year under the iron grip of the National Security Law, traces of defiance still sprang up around the campus.
Large Banners Protest Admin Interference in Student Governance
As early as 6:30am, a large vertical banner with the words “Restore Student Autonomy「還我學生自治」” was spotted, as was another smaller one that said “Consultation Must Precede Staff-Student Collaboration 員生共治,必先共議」” . By 8am, both banners had been removed by school staff.
On the #WallofDemocracy, a large notice board created for students to voice opinion, multiple posters were seen with the call “OSA and subsidiary faculty committee, join the provisional Administration”, protesting the school's new requirement for student organizations to be registered with the school administration.
During the graduation ceremony, defiant graduates from Nursing showed protest handbills that wrote “Dare to be different; Be Faithful to your belief 「棱角分明,毋負期許」”. Some social work graduates wore white ribbons on their graduation robes, and carried handbills with slogans such as “Grieve our Student Union”.
Ex-Police Security Chief Disrupts Students Handing Out White Ribbons, But Chastised by Parents
At around 12:30, 5 CUHK students held up a banner that wrote “Grieve my CUHK” on the University Mall, and set up a counter to hand out white ribbons.
Although the group of students did not obstruct the proceeding of graduation ceremony, they were quickly encircled by more than 10 campus security and were ordered to leave. The students demanded the security guards for reasons that they were not allowed to hand out white ribbons, as they were not obstructing the ceremony.
Lee Wing-kwong, head of Campus Security and a former Police Superintendent, ordered his staff to remove the students’ protest materials immediately. He was, however, stopped by members of Student Affairs Office, who asked him to “calm down”.
Some parents on the site stepped in to show their support to the protesting students. Quoting the classic Confucian text "Great Learning", they criticized the campus guards for abusing their powers: "Don't you officials remember the Way of the Great Learning?"
"We've Graduated, But They Couldn't"
Scattered protest activities continued around campus into the evening. Nine graduates, wearing their graduation robes, held up signs with names of fellow students who had been arrested and jailed for their involvement in the 2019 anti-ELAB movement.
Their names are Cheung Chun-ho, Tang Hei-man, Ko Tsz-bun, Lau Chun-yuk, Fu Ngai-Ching, Chen Lik-sik, Hui Yi-shui, Li Chun-ho.
The last sign read poignantly: "We've graduated, but they couldn't."

Four seniors arrested on suspicion of “seditious intent” for displaying banner demanding genuine universal suffrage in Hong Kong
The group of older pro-democracy activists, between the ages of 61 to 85, was reportedly standing next to a yellow banner displaying the words “I want genuine universal suffrage,” the central slogan of the 2014 Umbrella Movement which saw thousands occupy the city’s main streets to demand wider democracy.
The group has held vigil regularly in Mong Kok, Hong Kong. Two members of the group were seen wearing yellow-coloured clothing, a symbol of the city’s flagging pro-democracy movement.

MPs calling it a "moral obligation" to extend UK’s settlement route for Hong Kong youngsters
//An amendment to the Nationality and Borders Bill, tabled by Conservative MP Damian Green and supported by Tom Tugendhat and 11 other Tory MPs, would enable Hong Kongers with at least one parent who is a BNO citizen to apply for a UK visa.
It comes after The Independent revealed last month that Young Hong Kongers who fled police brutality are “languishing” in the UK asylum system because they are not able to benefit from the British National Overseas (BNO) scheme due to their age.
If the amendment were accepted, it would enable those born after 1997 to resettle in Britain on the basis of the BNO status of one or both of their parents, rather than having to travel with them.
Many of these young people may well have been involved in the protests and therefore some of them have already suffered from the new security law, and others may in the future
Home Office figures show there was an almost 500 per cent increase in asylum claims from Hong Kong nationals in the year to June 2021, rising to 124 from 21 the previous year. Fourteen of these were unaccompanied minors – the first time on record that the UK has received asylum claims from children from the city state. //

Director of Drifting Petals – a film takes anti-ELAB movement as background – clinches Golden Horse Best Director Award
The Kong Kong raised Melbourne film maker Clara Law snatched Best Director at the 58th Golden Horse Awards, after being nominated for a Golden Horse award for the seventh time.
The film, Drifting Petals, took 2019 anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong as background. With protest scenes and images intertwined in the film, Law illustrated not only changes that Hong Kong has undergone, but also the fear and anxiety among Hong Kong people.
The jury praised Law for using a "poetic" way to examine history and reality, showcasing her talent and vision.
Now residing in Australia, Law thanked the jury for bringing the film to Taiwan. Actress Lin Lai received the best director award for Law and spoke on her behalf in the ceremony.
Lai quoted Law that “perhaps, Taiwan and European countries are the only places in the world where her work could be officially shown.”
Lai carried on saying, “She (Clara Law) is a Hong Kong Director. She made this film in Hong Kong but it remains unclear whether the film can be shown there.”

Hong Kong Security Head denies brutality in campus arrest during anti-ELAB movement
On December 3, 2021, Chris Tang Ping-keung, Secretary for Security in Hong Kong accused a local press, Stand News, for biased reporting with an attempt to demonize law enforcement authorities.
Tang blamed an inaccurate news report published by Stand News in November 2019. He said, the news which cited an anonymous person, described how the police entered the Chinese University.
In defense, Tang claimed the police did not enter the university campus, but guarded over #2 bridge and stopped people from hurling Molotovs and harrassing the traffic at the Tolo Harbour Highways.
Tang stressed that the Police Force had issued a statement to rebuke Stand News which clarified that the force did not enter the university campus. The same statement also reprimanded Stand News for “glamourizing violence.”
The Stand News looked back into the videos recorded on 12 November 2019 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK). The video showed the police conducting an arrest operation in the afternoon at the campus at east road roundabout.
