China Spokesperson Calls 12 Hongkongers Secretly Detained by China "Elements attempting to separate Hong Kong from China"
On Friday, Sept 11, 2020, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo expressed his deep concern over 12 Hong Kong democracy activists being held in China. Pompeo stressed that they have been denied access to lawyers and the Chinese authorities have not provided information on their welfare or the charges against them.
The families of the 12 Hongkongers met the press on Saturday.

The relatives were tormented by the fact that they do not have news of their family members and that they cannot even know whether they are still alive. The relatives hoped the Hong Kong Government would seek their return and called for international attention to the legal and human rights violations in China.
One day after the statement made by the grieving families, the Chinese Central Government responded through Hua Chunying, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the PRC, by calling the 12 Hongkongers captured by China "elements attempting to separate Hong Kong from China."
Hua tweeted the following:
"Seriously?! Fact check: The 12 people were arrested for illegally crossing the border in waters. They are not democratic activists, but elements attempting to separate Hong Kong from China."
China, however, did not respond to the accusations regarding legal and human rights violation in China.
After detaining the 12 Hongkongers for 22 days, the Yiantian Branch of the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau announced on Sunday that 12 people were detained on suspicion for "trespassing the border".

Pro-democracy Legislator Chants Protest Slogans to Support Detained Activist; Police Deployed
1625 | Kwun Tong
Pro-democracy legislator Ray Chan of People Power continued the "anti-pandemic booth" originally run by fellow activist Tam Tak-chi, who has been arrested by the police for sedition on Sept 6, 2020.
Tam was still held in custody as the court rejected bail. The prosecution alleged that the pro-democracy protest slogans, including the familiar "Five Demands, Not One Less", chanted by Tam were "seditious".
If the court rejects bail again coming Thursday (Sept 17, 2020), Tam will face detention at least until November.
Before joining People Power, Chan and Tam used to work together as a TV and radio host duo, nicknamed 'Slow Beat' and 'Fast Beat' respectively.
At the booth run by Chan on Sumday, Sept 13, police were deployed.

Pro-Democracy Hong Kong Singer #DeniseHo Live-Streams Concert, Vows to Carry On Singing
Pro-democracy Cantopop singer #DeniseHo was scheduled to play in her concert "Becoming the Song" on 8-12 September. However, just 8 days before her concert, the Hong Kong Arts Center abruptly cancelled Ho's venue booking.
Braving many difficulties, Ho went ahead to perform online on September 12, at the original scheduled time.
Ho said that it was like performing in sauna parlour, as the venue she eventually found was without air conditioning; she and her band were soaked in sweat. However, she felt that it was much more memorable experience for everyone than having a concert on a "proper" stage.
Denise Ho was thankful for her supporters. She said, "the best way to thank my supporters is to carry on singing."
