While paying tribute to 'yellow raincoat man' Marco Leung Ling-kit, they displayed handbills that read “Say No to the Leave-Home-Safe-App”.

They urged citizens to think twice before downloading the app, which acts no different than a digital tracking device for the Hong Kong government to monitor and trace citizens, disrespecting their freedom and privacy.

Singer activist Tommy Yuen arrested under National Security Law

Tommy Yuen Man-on was arrested in the morning of February 15 by the Hong Kong national security on suspicion of sedition and money laundering.

In a press briefing, the police said the 41-year-old singer was arrested over content he published on social media since last September that incites hatred towards the government, the police and judges.

The Senior superintendent of the force’s national security unit, also accused the singer of smearing the government’s Covid policies, and singing a song that contains a banned protest slogan during an online concert.

Yuen, a former member of boyband E-kids, has been an activist supporting the pro-democracy camp over the past few years and at the height of the 2019 social unrest.

He had actively participated in the city's political events, including the Human Rights Day Rally on December 8, 2019, where he led the protest march.
