HK's Department of Justice Cancels Private Prosecution Launched by Pro-dem Ray Chan Chi-chuen: 'No Evidence is Offered'

Ray Chan Chi-chuen, the chairman of People Power and a former pro-democracy lawmaker, was dragged on the floor by the pro-Beijing lawmaker Kwok Wai-keung of the Federation of Trade Union, during the House Committee meeting on May 8, 2020 at the Legislative Council.

Chan subsequently initiated a private prosecution against Kwok. Chan said in his Facebook post on November 6, 2020 that he was notified by the Department of Justice (#DoJ) that the authorities would step in and discontinue the private prosecution against Kwok as 'no evidence is offered' in the case.

Police Arrest Pro-democracy Activists and Former Lawmakers Ray Chan, Chu Hoi-dick and Ted Hui

According to the Facebook pages of #RayChan, #ChuHoiDick and #TedHui, the three pro-democracy activists were arrested by the police at their homes on the morning of November 18, 2020.

The case was reportedly connected to the legislative council (#LegCo) meeting on June 4, 2020, where the three then-lawmakers protested against the third reading of the National Anthem Bill.

The police accused Hui of breaching the Legislative Council (Powers and Privileges) Ordinance Cap.382 with the charge of comtempt, as he spilled smelly liquid on the floor of the chamber and "caused the LegCo chair to feel disturbed and mentally distressed".

Chan and Chu resigned from the LegCo in Oct, as they refused to let the term be extended by the CCP without an election; Hui joined the recent mass resignation.

Hong Kong Pro-democracy Activist #RayChan Gets Married in Face of #PoliticalProsecution

Activist and former legislator Ray CHAN Chi-chuen is one of the 47 pro-democracy figures who were charged over national security violations for participating in the Primary Election of the pro-democracy camp in July 2020.

In face of political prosection, Chan, while on bail, decided to get married. Chan thanked his partner for supporting him during his arrests, trials, and detention.

The ceremony took place in Hong Kong on December 15, 2021. Since Hong Kong's law does not recognise same sex marriage and Chan's passport has been confiscated by the authorities, Chan and his partner registered their marriage virtually in Utah of the United States.

Chan is the first #LGBTQ legislator in Hong Kong. He has been detained for half a year before his bail was granted in September 2021.
