#Court Refuses Bail and Detains HK's Pro-democracy Activist Charged with 'Sedition' Without Trial
Pro-democracy activist 'Fast Beat' Tam Tak-chi, vice-chairperson of People Power, will remain in custody for at least 2 months, as the court rejected his bail application on Sept 17, 2020.
Tam was arrested by the police on Sept 6, 2020 and charged with "sedition" for chanting familar protest slogans including "Five Demands Not One Less".
Legislator Ray Chan, chairperson of People Power, described it as a political persecution: The government and the police force are using their power and the law to jail Tam before a trial can take place, in order to intimidate the rest of the population. Chan cited former US president Franklin D. Roosevelt: "Only thing we have to fear is fear itself". Chan said, "We are not afraid, we'll go on to express ourselves and do what Hongkongers deem right".
Erica Yuen Lai-ming, former chairperson of People Power, also supported Tam in court. She emphasized that Tam did nothing illegal and thst the authorities are oppressing those who are outspoken about their views. She questioned the supposed damage Tam had caused, to an extent where a bail was not granted.
Former legislator 'Long Hair' Leung Kwok-hung and district councilor Tsang Kin-shing also voiced their support for Tam on site.

Judge Praises Assailant who Assaulted Pro-democracy Activist in HK for Loving Society
Wong Sum-kau, aged 80, used a chisel to attack pro-democracy activist 'Long hair' Leung Kwok-hung on 16 April, 2020, near China's Liaison Office in Hong Kong.
Leung was hurt on the right side of his waist. The assailant pled guilty for one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Magistrate Cheang Kei-hong suggested that it was fortunate that the victim was not hurt badly, although the chisel is made of metal and carries certain weight.
After watching the video footage, the magistrate said he can see the assailant was “agile”.
Yet, the assailant allegedly sent death threats to pro-democracy activists, by yelling in court: "Ted Hui and Joshua Wong, they will die sooner or later". Despite this, the magistrate believed that the assailant “loves society” and "only" commited the crime because of "different political stance".
The magistrate suggested that since the defendant was willing to serve society, he should just be sentenced to community service. The case is adjourned to 13 Oct, 2020.

Hong Kong's Education Bureau Prepares For Nation Security Law Teaching
In a RTHK's LegCo Review interview, Hong Kong's Secretary for Education Kevin Yeung Yun-Hung revealed that the Education Bureau was preparing teaching material for “National Security Law” (#NSL).
Yeung claimed that the concept of National Security is "relatively new" to Hong Kong and that the authority will "assist" the education sector in preparing the course outline and teaching material for NSL.
He also said many people being arrested in the last year drew public attention and gave a lot of stress to the education industry. He claimed that the education sector needed to "guide students back to the right track", such as to assist students in understanding the "reason for and the impact of the enactment of NSL". “I believe the education sector is willing to do that,” Yeung said.

#ReportersWithoutBorders and 44-NGO coalition urge Chinese President #XiJinping to release #Covid19 reporter on #hungerstrike
//On September 17, 2021, Reporters Without Borders (#RSF) and a coalition of 44 human rights NGOs urged Chinese President Xi Jinping to exonerate and release Covid-19 reporter #ZhangZhan, who has been on hunger strike since May 2020, for which she was forced-fed.
“Zhang Zhan did not commit any crime but instead courageously risked her life to inform the public on the health crisis. She should never have been arrested, let alone subjected to a harsh prison sentence”, says the head of RSF East Asia bureau, Cédric Alviani, who urges President Xi Jinping to “ensure that Zhang Zhan is released before it’s too late.”//
