Correctional Officers Abuse Pro-democracy Protesters in Prison
It has been reported that pro-democracy protesters have been subjected to torture and inhumane treatment by correctional officers in prison. A Grade One Correctional Officer Hyun Nga-tat (AO1700) was named and was said to have slapped the detainees who sang the protest anthem "May Glory to Hong Kong".
According to Joshua Wong of Demosisto, Hyun has been on vacation and has not returned to his workplace Pik Uk Prison since the news was spread.
The Complaint Investigation Unit of the Correctional Services Department has gone to the prison for inquiry. According to Wong, they were more like conducting a "witch hunt" after the whistleblower, as they questioned prisoners individually for the staff they are familiar with.
According to lawmaker Shiu Ka-chun, the news report released by Apple Daily about the incident was removed in the prison.

HK's Correctional Services Force Inmates to Undergo 'Voluntary' COVID Tests and Penalized Those Refused
Pro-democracy legislator and social worker Shiu Ka-chun revealed that the Correctional Services in Hong Kong had ordered all inmates to participate in the government's 'voluntary' universal CoVID19 testing scheme. The scheme has sparked many controversies including the government's commission of unlicensed Chinese companies to run laboratory tests and security concern over personal data collection.
According to Shiu, a jailed female pro-democracy protester, who refused to join the 'voluntary' testing scheme, was being 'punished': She was locked up in an isolation cell, with no access to TV, book and radio.

#JoshuaWong Reveals Abuse of Pro-Democracy Student in HK's Prison Before Own Trial
Pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong will stand trial on November 23, 2020 with fellow activists Agnes Chow and Ivan Lam. The three might face immediate imprisonment after appearing in court.
One day before the trial, Wong continued to call on the public and the international community to pay attention to the fight for democracy in Hong Kong.
In a Facebook post, Joshua Wong revealed an abuse case of a pro-democracy student in prison by a correctional officer.
Wong was informed that Tony Chung Hon-lam, a student activist and convener of #StudentLocalism who was arrested on National Security charges, went through unreasonable corporal punishment while detained in Pik Uk Correctional Institution.
Without any explanation, the staff demanded him to march for over four hours. Chung was exhausted to a point of having stomach cramps, and yet was still ordered to continue marching.
The correctional services officer Hyun Nga-tat, a Grade One Correctional Officer, is known to have commiited similar abuses. Hyun was infamous for abusing pro-democracy protesters under detention: He once forced those singing "Glory to Hong Kong" to slap themselves.
Joshua Wong ended the post by writing:
"Although there's a chance I could be imprisoned starting from tomorrow, my Facebook page will continue running.
I encourage whistleblowers to supply further information, and hope Yuen Long District councillors could arrange visits to Tony Chung. I believe his lawyer would also be visiting him at a later time.
I solemnly call on the Correctional Services Department to handle the matter seriously. Tolerating intentional abuse by lower-level correctional staff against political prisoners will only bring public condemnation. It has been half a year since abuses in prison came to light. Having it happened again would certainly reignite public anger, and may even lead to legal consequences."

HK Police Impersonate Social Workers when Visiting Imprisoned Protesters, Former Legislator Says
Former legislator Shiu Ka-chun told reporters that Pun Ho-Chiu, an imprisoned protester, had prison visits from two men who initially claimed themselves “social workers”. When Poon later asked them to clarify their identities, the visitors admitted that they came from the Police Force .
Shiu Ka-chun pointed out that it is illegal for non-registered social workers to use the official title “social worker”. He urged both the Correctional Services and the Police Force to provide an explanation.
Pun Ho-Chiu, 31, nicknamed “The Painter,” took part in a demonstration outside the Wan Chai police headquarters last June, one of dozens of mass protests against the planned extradition bill. In late November, Poon was convicted of property damage and unauthorised assembly, and sentenced to 21 months in jail.

10 veteran pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong plead guilty over 'National Mourning Day' Protest in 2019; 'Long Hair' Appears in Court with Short Hair
In Hong Kong court on May 17, 2021, ten heavy-weight pro-democracy activists pleaded guilty to "organising an unauthorised protest" on October 1, 2019.
They are former legislators 'long hair' #LeungKwokHung, #AlbertHo, #LeeCheukYan, #YeungSum, #CydHo and #SinChungKai; #AppleDaily founder #JimmyLai; and activists #FigoChan, #AveryNg and #RichardTsoi. That day marked the 'National Mourning Day' protest on the establishment day of the PRC during the Anti-ELAB movement
Among the defendants, convenor of the Civil Human Rights Front (#CHRF) Figo Chan, 'long hair' Leung Kwok-hung, Albert Ho, and Lee Cheuk-yan also pleaded guilty to "inciting" others on September 30, 2019 to take part in the protest.
When '#LongHair' Leung Kwok-hung appeared in court on May 17, 2021, his signature long hair has been cut short. Leung is currently serving his sentence in Stanley Prison for organizing and participating in an 'unauthorized' assembly on August 18, 2019.
The last time he was seen in short hair was in 2014 when serving a 4-week sentence after being convicted of 'causing chaos' in the Legislative Council in 2011. Then, Leung was forced to cut away his long hair due to the appearance policy of the correctional services.
Leung later filed a legal review, pointing out that it is discriminatory when female inmates are allowed to keep long hair while male inmates are not. In November 2020, the Court of Final Appeal approved Leung's review.
Nevertheless, on February 1, 2021, the Department of Correctional Services implemented a new policy where inmates, regardless of their gender, cannot keep their hair beyond their shoulder's length.
