HK Pro-democracy Activist Arrested Again on Birthday: More Hongkongers will Face Arrest, Trial and Jail during Surging Political Oppression
In January 2021, the National Security unit of the Hong Kong Police Force made a mass arrest of 55 democrats, citing their involvement in thr Legislative Council primary election in 2020 as a "breach of #NationalSecurityLaw".
Most of the arrestees on bail were told to report to the police station on February 10, 2021. #OwenChow, who has been actively assisting the familes of the 12 pro-democracy Homgkongers jailed in China, is one of them.
When reporting to the police station as instructed, Chow was arrested again on Feb 10, 2021 on suspicion of "rioting" for purportedly entering the Leglistive Council building on 1 July 2019. Chow was later released on HK$10,000 bail in the evening.
Chow expressed that in view of growing #PoliticalOppression, more pro-democracy supporters will be arrested, trialed, and jailed in the future.
“I believe the authorities can never arrest all those who yearn for democracy. So long as we maintain our resolution, the revolution will not end until we succeed.”
He wished that Hongkongers could survive the times of the #WhiteTerror untroubled.
February 10, the day he was re-arrested, is also Chow’s birthday. He said that it was an unforgettable birthday for him to face an additional criminal charge of "rioting".
Although he took it in peace, Chow admitted that he missed having birthday dinner with his family. Chow called on everyone to treasure the time spent with their family.
During Chow’s interview with the media, the police interrupted repeatedly, urging the reporters to disperse.

Union Leader in Hong Kong Has No Regrets for Pro-democracy Quest and Pledges to Fight til the Very End
Winnie Yu Wai-ming, the chairlady of the Hospital Authority Employees Alliance (#HAEA) has rehearsed in her mind for many times of being arrested.
Early in the morning at 6am on January 6, 2021, Yu heard loud thumps on her door followed by blaring commands, “Hong Kong Police. Open the door. Hong Kong Police. Open the door.”
Yu’s husband opened the door as instructed. Police rushed in to arrest Yu for her involvement in Legislative Council Primary Election in 2020.
Being arrested for the first time in her life, Yu faced severe charges of the "subversion of state power" under the #NationalSecurityLaw (#NSL).
Not only was she not afraid, but she also remained so calm that she has surprised evern herself.
Alone in the prison cell that night, she did not pity herself but other fellow protesters who were also being arrested. She thought to herself, “they must have faced much worse treatment than I do.”
Yu was known for sheding tears easily, but Yu didn’t cry at all after the arrest, “crying is giving in to the authorities.”
Even after she was released on bail, Yu didn’t think of stepping down from the frontline. Instead she seized the time to do as much as she could.
Yu often tells people that she has “no regrets”. In just over a year, Yu experienced a lot from partaking in anti-ELAB movement and involving in the primary election to being arrested. Yu said there were no regrets. With a smile on her face, Yu said, “I think I am stiff-necked.”
Nevertheless, Yu has once considered leaving Hong Kong. Now with her travel documents confiscated, Yu said resolutely, “I chose to stay put and I won’t regret. If any Hongkonger wishes to stay and continue the fight, I am willing to fight with them til the end.”
