Uncle Chan of “Protect The Children”: When the rule of law is being damaged, every citizen has the right to speak up
On 15 March, Uncle Chan, a member of "Protect The Children", organized a petition in Mongkok and Tsim Sha Tsui, urging the Legal Aid Department to approve judicial review of the Hong Kong Police absence of identification.
Chan pointed out that the Legal Aid Department has earlier rejected his first application for a court case, and he is seeking approval from the Legal Aid Department for the second time.
Chan said that his financial condition cannot afford a judicial review and hence he must seek help from the Legal Aid Department according to the procedure.
Uncle Chan describes himself as stubborn but headstrong in fighting for judicial review over the lack of identification on the police's Special Tactical Squad (Raptor).
When the rule of law is being damaged, as a citizen, Chan believes that everyone has the right to voice out: “Why is the government battering against Hong Kong people’s core values, freedom, democracy, as well as justice and rule of law? As the Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Carrier Lam is not shouldering the responsibility of her role. She allows the police to break the laws continuously. It is our responsibility to protect these core values. Social injustice has beckoned citizens to protest.”
Despite his old age, Chan says that he is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of justice and the rule of law. He is also aware of the consequence of political prosecution. He could not let those with power suppress the people of Hong Kong, regardless of their generation.
Lastly, he reminds HongKongers to persist in the fight of justice: "We shall remember and insist on what we are fighting for and try our best". He believes Karma will do the rest.

Uncle Chan from 'Protect the Children' Encourages Journalists to Stand Strong
After attending the press conference held by on September 27, 2020, Uncle Chan from 'Protect the Children', a group formed by elderly citizens to observe police operations at the frontline, sent his encouragement to journalists in Hong Kong:
"Please do not back off and carry on your duty in face of oppression"
After the police's unilateral redefinition of "media representative", the police will only allow designated media to cover news in the cordoned area. Many journalists, scholars and citizens fear that this would lead to biased reports, as a large number of independent journalists and journalists working for online media outlets would be barred from uncovering truth at the frontline.
