From Eddie CHU's facebook post:
Sai Pin Wai is the most dangerous place. All white mobs are with masks, and they’re afraid of nothing when they attack. All police front lines are facing the back of villages, after the front lines are the white mobs standing by, once the police withdraw deliberately, all protestors will be in great danger. NEVER ever go through the Sai Pin Wai Archway!

Full Draft Exposed by Beijing:
China's national security officials to "perform their duties” in Hong Kong

The Standing Committee of National People’s Congress (NPCSC) plenary sessions commenced on 22 May, where the deliberation on the draft of the “National Security Law in Hong Kong" is scheduled on the agenda. The draft states that the Law will be included in Annex III of the Basic Law “to be implemented by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region through local announcements”. In other words, the law will be promulgated without passing though a review at the Legislative Council.

Eddie Chu Hoi-dik, Hong Kong Legislative Councillor, described point four of the draft as an indication that "the secret police will be entering the house" and "the Chinese secret police can arrest people in Hong Kong with legitimate reason“, adding that the law will lead to a series of problems.

Firstly, Chu was concerned that in the process of arrest, interrogation and detention by the "secret police", "are the arrested still protected by the relevant laws in Hong Kong?” As the law of Hong Kong stipulates that a suspect can be detained for a maximum of 48 hours has the right to remain silent, see a lawyer and apply for habeas corpus.

Secondly, if the “secret police” torture (the arrested), "there is not even a fake mechanism for accountability,” said Chu.

Thirdly, if a Hong Kong person is "disappeared" and suspected of being arrested by the "secret police", "what can the family do? Report it to the Hong Kong Police?” asked Chu.

The fifth point of the draft mentions that the Chief Executive of Hong Kong is required to submit regular reports to the Central People’s Government on the performance of his/her duties in safeguarding national security, promoting education on national security and (prohibiting) conduct which endangers national security.

The sixth point of the draft relates to authorization for the NPCSC to establish in Hong Kong "institutions and enforcement mechanisms for the preservation of national security", and expressly states that “organs of the Central People's Government for the protection of national security may set up institutions in Hong Kong in accordance with the law" to perform their duties for safeguarding national security.

Pro-democracy Lawmakers Fined Unreasonable Amounts for "Pungent Objects"

LegCo chairman Leung Kwan-yuen stated during the meeting concerning the Chinese National Anthem Law on Jun 4 that pto-democracy lawmakers Ted Hui Chi-fung, Ray Chan Chi-chuen and Chu Hoi-dick threw “pungent objects” in the legislative chamber.

The Legislative Council Commission slapped Hui with a fine of $52,000, and the other two with fines of about $100,000. Leung stated that Hui did not respond much to the charged. However, Chan and Chu questioned the calculations which contributed to the resulting fine. Leung suggested that the secretariat should use the lawmakers’ salaries to pay off their fines.

The fee owed by Chan and Chu included, “electrician fee for changing ventilation components to remove the smell” (HK$2,357), cleaners' salaries ($3,923), electricity fees for carpet drying ($13,658), changing and replacing of carpets ($103,204), replacing tables and chairs ($62,350), replacing computer monitors ($8,228), secretariat staff salary for following up on the clearing and repair services ($23,609) and replacement of security staffs' uniforms (Chan: $2,350; Chu: $4,007). The total fee for Chan is $111,014.5 and $112,671.5 for Chu.

The Legislative Council Commission also asked two former Youngspiration lawmakers, Leung Chung-hang and Yau Wai-ching to pay $930,000, including their salaries and operation costs.

The Commission has stated that they will respond to Yau’s suggestion for repayment, but have yet to respond to Leung’s bankruptcy application.

Police Arrest Pro-democracy Activists and Former Lawmakers Ray Chan, Chu Hoi-dick and Ted Hui

According to the Facebook pages of #RayChan, #ChuHoiDick and #TedHui, the three pro-democracy activists were arrested by the police at their homes on the morning of November 18, 2020.

The case was reportedly connected to the legislative council (#LegCo) meeting on June 4, 2020, where the three then-lawmakers protested against the third reading of the National Anthem Bill.

The police accused Hui of breaching the Legislative Council (Powers and Privileges) Ordinance Cap.382 with the charge of comtempt, as he spilled smelly liquid on the floor of the chamber and "caused the LegCo chair to feel disturbed and mentally distressed".

Chan and Chu resigned from the LegCo in Oct, as they refused to let the term be extended by the CCP without an election; Hui joined the recent mass resignation.

Remanded Former Pro-democracy Legislator Chu Hoi-Dick: I'll never forget the beautiful times I spent working with my teammates


On May 20, 2021 in Hong Kong, former legislator, citizen journalist and pro-democracy activist #ChuHoiDick -- who was nicknamed the “king of votes” for his 2016 election success, but is currently detained in Stanley Prison -- announced through his facebook page that he would no longer participate in politics, as he believed that he would not enjoy any freedom for a long period of time. Chu also decided to disband the "Team Chu Hoi-dick of New Territories West" group.

The group members including Yuen Long district councillor Lai Kwok-wing said the decision would not affect the community work run by individual members, as the group has never been a political party.

Chu said he is preparing for a long time behind bars, as he is currently charged in 6 criminal cases including the violation of the #NationalSecurityLaw for his involvement in the pro-democracy camp's primary election for Legco.

The statement ends with Chu saying that "he will never forget the beautiful times he spent working together with his teammates. He wishes everyone peace".
