Police Arrest Internet Radio Host for Alleged Money-Laundering and Violation of National Security Law
Internet radio D100 host Giggs was arrested this morning (Nov 21), said a post on his facebook page. While Giggs has contacted his lawyer, it remained unknown whether he could be bailed out and there was no mention about reasons of his arrest.
A couple of hour later, Lai Chak-fun, a current affair commentator of D100, revealed on his Facebook that several members of Giggs’ family have been arrested, including his wife. Another D100 anchor Li Wei-ling also noted in her Facebook that police officers have been searching at Giggs’s home for hours.
It was later confirmed that both Giggs and his wife have been arrested and detained in Wan Chai Police Station, and Chai Wan Police Station, respectively.
Sources said that Giggs’ arrest may be related to the netizen-initiated crowdfunding program, “A Thousand Parents Sponsor Children Studying in Taiwan”, which aims to provide financial means for young pro-democracy protestors in Hong Kong to further their study in Taiwan.
Giggs’ radio programme has been criticized by Pro-Beijing media such as Wen Wei Po in February this year for “nurturing the black devils (referred to pro-democracy protesters)". This was believed to be a lead for Hong Kong police to conduct investigations, which resulted in the arrests on suspicions of money-laundering, and violating #NationalSecurityLaw by supporting people in the #subversion of the state.

Hong Kong National Police arrested social activists before a planned Winter Olympics demonstration
Veteran pro-democracy activist Koo Sze-yiu, was re-arrested today (February 4) on suspicion of inciting subversion of state power. The charge carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
The 75-year-old member of the League of Social Democrats was taken into custody at his Cheung Sha Wan home shortly after 6am, and was being held at Cheung Sha Wan Police station for questioning.
Koo informed the media about his plan for the demonstration outside Beijing’s Liaison Office in the city that morning to protest China’s Winter Olympics, calling for attention to political activists behind bars.
The police also arrested four other people to assist with the investigation, local media said, although it was unclear if they had also been arrested.
He will be on trial at 9:30am at West Kowloon Magistrate Court on February 5.
Koo was jailed in January 2021 for desecrating the Chinese national flag. It was the tenth prison sentence in his last 30 years.

As Koo stepped into the defendant’s dock, he tried to wave and thank his supporters in the courtroom, but was immediately stopped by court security.
Later on when the magistrate asked Koo whether he understood the charges against him, Koo shouted, “Human rights rank above the right of states, and the people are more important than the state. I am not guilty.”
He was soon interrupted by the judge and ordered to cease shouting.
Without a legal representative, Koo applied for bail on his own, and was denied. He was not required to enter a plea as the Judge adjourned the case to April 1, 2022. Koo would be remanded in custody until then.
