Part 3/3

Kwun Tong District Councillor Eason Chan Yik-Shun is also this year's graduates of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK).

He said that Hongkongers were unable to express their feelings toward the pro-democracy movement, since the police have prohibited all marches and rallies in the past six months.

Eason Chan hoped the march at CUHK on Nov 19, 2020 could bring enthusiasm to the fight for freedom in society and remind everyone that “the [pro-democracy] movement is not finished.”

Eason Chan pointed out that the young generation of Hong Kong lost all hope and confidence to the future, owing to police brutality and injustice imposed by the Department of Justice (#DOJ). However, he believed that Hongkongers would continue to fight: “This is our home. We'll die, if we stop.”

Chan emphasised, “Many young people still have committment to Hong Kong". Chan also pointed out that the graduates' participation in the march showed that they would continue to come out and are not scared of being arrested.

Some parents also participated in the march on Nov 19, 2020. Apple, the mother of a CUHK student, said that she couldn’t stand still and let the authorities suppress the youths.

“As a parent, I have to come out and back them [young people] up,” she said. She felt heartbreaking to see how the students had sacrificed for the fight for democracy in the past year and all the casualties in the movement.

Apple hopes that the next generation can "enjoy freedom and live in Hong Kong safely". She reiterated that one shod not give up the fight in Hong Kong in face of the suppression by the Chinese Community Party (#CCP).

Gov't Stops Incumbent #DistrictCouncillor's Salary and Office Income, #TedHui: Lack of Legal Basis shows the Panic of Hong Kong’s political power”

The Home Affairs Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR government is stopping the payroll, the allowance and the expense reimbursement of district councillor Ted Hui from December 3, 2020. The government cited Hui’s self-exile as a reason.

Hui responded to the Hong Kong government’s decision as “No legal basis at all”. He also states that his HSBC bank account has been frozen, making it impossible to withdraw any of his salary since then.

Hui said the government’s treatment of him is a political statement but should be considered useless. The government’s action is severely impacting the district councillor's office that has continued to serve Hong Kong citizens.

Hui said that the government should not stop any payment of the payroll when the councillors are still serving their term of office. He is very disappointed with how the government wields political power and ignores the public interest.

Candle Lights and Christmas Wishes for the 12 Detained Hongkongers

Citizens' Radio hosted a street booth in Causeway Bay on Dec 24, 2020 in support of the 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers detained in China.

"Bull" Tsang Kin-shing (of the League of Social Democrats) invited citizens to sign a large banner at the booth. Citizens wrote down various words of encouragements: "Add oil, hands and feet!" "Hang on!" "Never forget why we started!" Citizens also lit candles, wishing for the quick return of the 12 youths back to Hong Kong.

Police posted 5 or 6 officers nearby to observe the booth, though they had not taken any action against them.

Streetside Banners of Song Lyrics for a Season of Heavy Hearts in Hong Kong

In Hong Kong, banners with social movement-themed song lyrics appeared on the streets of Mongkok over the past few weeks, in courtesy of Mongkok North District Councilor Siu Tak-kin.

He hung up these banners at locations allotted to him as a district councillor, in order to bring the locals some cheer and blessings.

Citizens joked that these banners "come with sound" and the now-familiar songs seem to play in their heads as soon as they read the lyrics.

The lyrics on the banners read:

"Stars may fade, as darkness fills the air
Through the mist a solitary trumpet flares"

"If I could be by your side, through the good times and the bad -
That's already good enough"

"In the end, this is a revolution without winners
But I wish that you would - please -
stay and bear witness with me"

"If there are rioters on this planet,
Is this what they would be like?"

HK Police Force in District Councillor's Home and Crush Him on the Sofa

District Councillor Andrew Chiu Ka-yin, a coordinator of the primary election and convener of Power for Democracy, was arrested with 52 more pro-democracy figures during the Hong Kong authorities' crackdown on Jan 6, 2021.

Chiu was released on conditional bail including 50K HKD cash and confiscation of his travel document at the North Point Police Station at 11:30 pm on 7 Jan, 2021.

He is banned from leaving Hong Kong at least in the next six months and has to report at the North Point Police Station on 10 Jan, 2021.

Chiu revealed to Apple Daily that the police arrived at his home at 6 am on 6 Jan, 2021. P
The officers forced the door to open. After entering the house, the police crushed Chiu, who just came out from the bathroom, backhand on the sofa immediately and yelled, “do not resist.”

Afterwards, they combed Chiu’s home without searching a warrant issued by the court. Also, Chiu’s district councillor office in Tai Koo and his mini-warehouse were searched. During the raid, a police officer holding a baton kept watching on Chiu.
