Raymond Chan Demands Explanation for Fellow Legislator's Arrest
1257 | SOGO, Causeway Bay
At about 12:45 outside SOGO Department Store, Lawmaker Tam Tak-chi was arrested.
A lawmaker from the same party, Raymond Chan demanded an explanation from the police for the arrest.
“According to Cap. 599G, the prohibition of group gatherings can only be applied to groups of eight and more in public spaces. Also, the order of legal consequences under the regulation should be a warning to the offender, a HK$2000 fine and then arrest. Did anyone see them give the $2000 fine ticket?” “No!” the protestors chanted.
Chan further pointed out the regulation permitted street counters to be set up, which is always allowed under Hong Kong Law. He reinstated that in a time with tyrannical control over people’s lives, it is the duty of councillors, District or Legislative, to balance the power of the government.

Police Charge Pro-democracy activist with Sedition for Chanting "Five Demands and Not One Less" and Other Protest Slogans
Pro-democracy activist Tam Tak-chi, deputy chairman of People Power, was mentioned in Fanling Magistrates' Court on Sept 8, 2020, after being detained for more than 50 hours.
The police arrested Tam in Tai Po at noon on Sept 6, charging him with “sedition” and "causing others to hate or despise the government" under Article 10 of the Cap. 200 Crimes Ordinance.
In court, the prosecution claimed that the following phrases incite hatred for the government and the police.
1. "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times"
2. "Five Demands Not One Less"
3. "Corrupt Cop, May Your Whole Family Die"
4. "Disband the Police Force"
5. "[Police] Disppeared on 7.21, Murdered on 8.31 and Shot People on 10.1"
The court refused Tam's application for bail and the next hearing will be held on November 27, 2020. Tam was sent to Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre for further detention.
One day before the court, pro-Beijing channel TVB News had already released information: it was said that Tam from the end of June to August had been disseminating "seditious materials" by running street stations, speaking via loudspeakers, and publishing on social media platforms. These messages included "Down with the Communist Party" and slogans "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our Times", and calling for "sanctions against officials". The pro-Beijing news channel described his behavior as "an attempt to provoke surrounding people."
