Hong Kong's Secretary Chief Accuses Pro-democracy Groups for "Spreading hatred for HK and Beijing Governments" in Prisons with Chocolate

On September 7, 2021, Hong Kong SAR Government's Secretary for Security, Chris Tang Ping-Keung, accused pro-democracy groups of "threatening national security" in the prisons of Hong Kong.

Tang said, "Somebody creates privilege with prison supplies, including chocolate, and solicits followers in prison, as a result to spread hatred for the Hong Kong and the Central Governments, threatening national security".

Tang also named 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund for sending letters to people in prison, calling them to keep up protesting.

Social worker and former legislator Bottle Shiu Ka-Chun, the founder of a prisoner rights organisation #Wallfare, spoke to InmediaHK. Shiu said that ordinary people can hardly understand Tang's jumpy logic. He emphasised that the so-called "followers" cannot be solicited with those childish method.

"Or you can give 2 packs of chocolate to the prison and ask for an immediate follow. Then, there is no point doing national security education to have a peaceful world," Shiu remarked.

Pro-Beijing newspaper agencies called the prison in Hong Kong as "a place for Anti-China and Anti-HK". Tang also used the exact same phrase. Shiu disagreed and said, "They [pro-democracy protesters] have already lost their freedom and are all arrested. They live according to your will everyday. How are they still messing up Hong Kong?"
