Former Leader of Student Group Arrested near US Consulate by National Security Officers

Tony Chung Hon-lam, former convenor of Student Localism, has been arrested in Admiralty today by members of the police's national security department. According to sources, Chung was on his way to the US Consulate to seek political asylum. He is now detained at the Central Police Station.

Friends of Hong Kong, a UK-based organization aiding pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong, responded to media inquiry, stating that they have lost contact with Chung around 8am this morning. In their last communication with Chung, he mentioned that he was being closely monitored and stalked.

Chung was arrested in July this year on suspicion of violating the National Security Law. He was released on bail and, as part of the bail arrangement, he was scheduled to report to a police station today.

Student Activist Tony Hon-Lam Chung Sentenced for 43 months in Jail over National Security Charges: "I have no regrets, I did nothing wrong"

On November 23, 2021, the District Court in Hong Kong sentenced the 20-year-old pro-democracy student activist Tony Hon-Lam Chung to jail for three years and seven months. He was charged under the #NationalSecurityLaw and convicted of "secession and money laundering."

Chung founded the now-disbanded pro-democracy student group #StudentLocalism in 2016.

Chung was accused of publishing "seditious messages" on social media and holding activities and protests with "secessionist intent" during the 2019 Anti-ELABMovement.

Chung's marks the third convicted case over the National Security charges and is the first person below 21 years old who is found guilty of violating the National Security Law.

In an interview before the sentence, Chung told Stand News that he had no regrets.

Chung decided to plead guilty only two weeks before the trial. He has been detained for more than one year since he was arrested in October 2020. "There is no other way to deal with the case under the current circumstances and the judicial system," Chung said.

On the day of the trial, Chung's voice was heard in the courtroom, "I plead guilty. I did nothing wrong."

Chung told the reporter that his baseline was not to "revamp" what he had said or done before. So, he told his lawyer not to plead for any lighter sentence. "I have done nothing wrong. I have no regrets," said Chung.
