Police "Investigates" Hong Kong Protesters' Fund of over National Security Breaches

Hong Kong Police cited the #NationalSecurityLaw to obtain a order of production from the court that demands the #612HumanitarianReliefFund and the Alliance for True Democracy to give out details on donors and recipients, its crowdfunding campaign and how the fund was used.

The police claim that it is to "investigate" the protesters fund over "suspected national security breaches" and "collusion with foreign powers".

A 612 trustee was taken away at the HK airport

Dr Po-Keung Hui, one of the Trustees of the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund (which had ceased its operations), was allegedly taken away by the Hong Kong Police at the Hong Kong International Airport when he was leaving Hong Kong. Inmedia is inquiring the police about the incident. Denise Ho, who is another trustee of the fund, said she is currently safe upon Inmedia’s inquiry through her assistant.

The 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund was established on 15 June 2019. Its aim was to provide humanitarian support, such as medical, mental, psychological, legal assistance, to those injured or arrested during the anti-extradition bill movement.

Fund trustees included Joseph Zen Ze-Kiun, the Cardinal of the Catholic Church, Dr. Margaret Ng Ngoi-yee, practising barista, Dr. Po-Keung Hui, the Adjunct Associate Professor in the Departure of Cultural Studies at the Lingnan University, Cyd Ho Sau-Lan, a former LegCo member, and singer Denise Ho. Cyd Ho is currently serving time in jail.

The Fund announced in 2021 August that since the Alliance for True Democracy was about to dissolve, they no longer had a valid bank account, and would cease operation. The National Security Department of the Hong Kong Police Force then announced that the Fund was under investigation due to violating the National Security Law. The department issued an order to make material available as well as demanded both the Fund and the Alliance to hand over a source of income and donor information.

Denise Ho offers encouragements during online concert, sheds tears for those who lost their freedom

On May 22, Hong Kong singer and prominent pro-democracy activist Denise Ho (#HOCC) hosted an online concert, a week after her arrest by National Security Police.

When performing her new song "Dear Black", she sobbed for a long while before she could calm herself down.

Ho explained that she was grieved by those who going through difficult times, both the ones in Hong Kong and those dispersed around the world.

"Some of them are still in Hong Kong, but I could hardly see them," she continued, "because they lost their freedom." She admitted that she cried several times in the past week.

Denise Ho was one of the five trustees of the #612HumanitarianReliefFund. The five were arrested by Hong Kong National Security Police on May 11 for alleged “collusion with foreign forces”.

The Fund provided legal and financial assistance to more than 2,200 people prosecuted for their part in the 2019 pro-democracy protests. It had ceased operations in 2021 after police announced it was under investigation, and requested administrators to provide details on its donors.

Toward the end of the concert, Ho comforted her supporters, saying, "the happiest moments in life are when you are walking steadfastly, and certain that you know what you are doing, and you have no regrets."
