Arrested District Councillor: It felt as though the motive was to confiscate my passport
On Jan 6, 2021, the Hong Kong authorities launched the largest crackdown on the pro-democracy camp since the implementation of the National Security Law in June 2020. The Hong Kong Police Force arrested 53 pro-democracy figures including former lawmakers, current district councillors, campaigners, lawyer and scholars, all in one day.

https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/27822
51 of them were detained overnight for over 40 hours before they were bailed on the evening of Jan 8, 2021
Democractic Party member Wan Siu-kin, formerly lawmaker and currently serving as a district councilor in Kwai Tsing, said the police had record his testimony on video for 3 times, with officers from the national security bureau handling the final recording.
During the process, the police showed him a newspaper cutting, which read "Ten Steps to 'Laam Chaau' [literally meaning, stir fry together]" and asked if Wan knew about it, and who said it.
Wan said the police also showed three short recordings about the legislative primaries that took place in July 2020. To his understanding, the officers from the national security bureau only handed the short recordings to other police officers on the same day and in a hurry.
Wan had the impression that everything was "done in a rush" and that it "felt as though the motive was to confiscate (his) passport".

Vocal journalist in HK faces dismissal by government-funded broadcaster before probe result
#NabelaQoser, a journalist of #RTHK, who confronted Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Carrie Lam over her handling of the 2019 protests for multiple times, is facing dismissal after the public broadcaster ended her three-year-odd probation for a civil service post and offered her a contract for just 120 days.
Qoser’s probation was extended by 120 days in late September 2020, shortly before she was due to complete the three-year probation under civil servant employment terms in October.
The broadcaster launched a probe into her work, citing complaints received against her since July 2020. The results of the probe, originally due in January 2021, would determine if Qoser was to gain a coveted contract as a permanent civil servant.

#RTHK Staff Union Rally to Support Journalist: We Are All #NabelaQoser
On January 28, 2021, more than 60 RTHK employees protested at the headquarters against the station's mistreatment of the journalist Nabela Qoser.
The video shows RTHK staff wearing a mask of Qoser's face and chanting slogans like, “Groundless charges”, and “Politics overriding professionalism”.
Watch video: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/28440
The management of the public broadcaster had previously launched a probe into complaints made against Qoser, after she enraged Beijing loyalists with her critical questions towards government officials and the Chief Executive Carrie Lam, during the Anti-ELAB movement in 2019.
Qoser was cleared of wrongdoing, but RTHK reopened its investigation in October 2020 and extend Qoser's probation period as a civil servant.
On January 22, 2021, Qoser's contract as a civil servant was terminated by RTHK, which reportedly cited the probe as a reason. Instead, Qoser was offered a new 120-day contract.
The RTHK Programme Staff Union decried the broadcaster’s move as something no difference than firing Qoser.
