Street busker arrested for singing “Do You Hear the People Sing”
Street busker Oliver Ma, of Chinese-Filipino descent, was surrounded by police officers while busking in Central on August 8. He was arrested when he sang “Do You Hear the People Sing”. Legislative Council Member, Ted Hui, said on Facebook that Oliver Ma was charged for obstructing police, and he has contacted a team of lawyers to follow up.
Oliver Ma was seen in online videos dressed in a black and white striped shirt and sang the English version of “Glory to Hong Kong” on Theater Lane, Central, while four police officers observed nearby. After a while, when Oliver Ma sang “Do You Hear the People Sing”, the other police officers moved forward to surround him and turned off his speaker. A citizen filming the incident asked the police, “What crime did he commit?” when Oliver Ma was in handcuffs.
Previously on July 28, Oliver Ma was arrested on suspicion of criminal intimidation, alleging that he argued with a 65-year-old woman on the street in Central because of noise problems. He was released on bail pending the investigation. He explained the incident on his Facebook, stating that the old woman suddenly snatched away his microphone stand while he was performing, and kicked his guitar case on the ground. Police arrested him on suspicion of criminal intimidation against the old lady, even though they did not any record voice or video evidence of him doing so. He denied having committed any crimes, believing that he was a victim of false accusations.
He suspected that his latest arrest was the police punishing him for his persistence in singing “Glory to Hong Kong”.

US High School's Orchestra Plays “Glory to Hong Kong” in Support of Hongkongers
“Glory to Hong Kong” is one of the most representative songs in Hong Kong's Anti-Extradition Law movement.
However, after the forceful enactment of the National Security Law (#NSL),
the song was accused of violating the law by inciting the subversion of the state power, overthrowing the authority, etc.
Hongkongers have to codify the lyrics into numbers such as “5201314” to express the original lyrics that read “May glory be to Hong Kong”.
While Hongkongers are forbidden by the authorities to sing the song in public, a symphony orchestra of a high school in the U.S. performed the song “Glory to Hong Kong” in their virtual concert on YouTube. More than ten thousand people have viewed the video.
Watch the video:
https://youtu.be/JDGkKS67VS8
Mark Aubel, the music teacher of the school and the conductor of the orchestra, spoke of the most touching moment when his students said, if Hongkongers cannot sing the song anymore, then “we can play it for them [Hongkongers], Mr Aubel”.
Aubel said, "The wonderful aspect for my students and me is that we have connected with the people of Hong Kong through music." Aubel and his students didn’t expect the virtual concert to have drawb so much attention. They hoped Hongkongers could feel the warmth.

Defiant Hongkongers display unyielding support to pro-democracy fights against tyranny rule
Ever since the CCP’s forceful imposition of National Security Law in Hong Kong, singing the anti-ELAB theme song, “Glory to Hong Kong” in public is mostly construed a red-line should not be crossed.
During the screening and while “Glory to Hong Kong” was played, many spectators raised their mobile phones with flashlights turned on, others raised their hands, showing “Five demand not one less”, chanting slogans after the song ended.

#Hongkongers create human chain and cheer “May Glory to Hong Kong” amidst white terror and #CCP grip
In Hong Kong, on New Year's eve (December 31, 2021), many citizens went up to the #LionRock to count down to the year 2022. Among them, some brought neon light signs that read “GLORY HK” and “FREE HK”.
While some citizens on the site were occupied taking pictures, others lighted up their handphones to form a human chain. Just like the pro-democracy “Hong Kong Way” demonstration in 2019, a line of human chain was soon created, displaying the outline of Lion Rock with the light from the mobile phones.
Together Hongkongers counted down and cheered “May glory to Hong Kong” to welcome 2022.
Watch the video:
https://youtu.be/5iBypsfJaL8
On the hilltop, some elderly walked by and uttered words of encouragement to the youngsters, “hang on,” “don’t give up”, while others passed on drinks to them.
Down the hill, some citizens raised laser pointers and pointed towards the hill top to echo and show their support.
[Editors' notes: Inspired by the Baltic human chain in 1989, the “Hong Kong Way” was organized by pro-democracy HongKongers in August 2019 during the #AntiELAB Movement.
The human chain expresses Hongkongers' yearning for freedom and basic human rights. Tens of thousands of Hongkongers lined up on pavements, overpasses, waterfronts and parks, snaking a line of nearly 30 miles (50km) long through Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories.

Revolution of Our Times Shown in Cinemas in 5 Canadian Cities
Although #RevolutionOfOurTimes" is barred from screening in Hong Kong, a Canada-based organisation took it to Canada for screening.
The award-winning documentary by Hong Kong Film director #KiwiChow is now showing in 5 Canadian cities, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria, beginning February 11.
CanMen, the group who organized the screening, said they originally planned only 4 screening sessions, but were overwhelmed by the public response as tickets were sold out in hours. After negotiating with cinemas, they added an additional 10 some screening sessions.
At Cineplex Odeon International Village in Vancouver, a small Lennon Wall was set up outside the theater for audiences to write down their feelings and responses.
The documentary took audiences back to three years ago, when the Anti-ELAB movement broke out in Hong Kong. Emotional sobbing can be heard in the theater throughout the showing.
At the end of the movie, audiences responded with thunderous applause. They sang "#GloryToHongKong," a popular protest song, and chanted "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our Times."
The documentary will also be shown in Taipei, Taiwan from February 25 onward.

"Glory HK": #Hongkongers Raise Glowing Signs amid Storm Clouds on Lion Rock
In Hong Kong, a group of pro-democracy citizens braved the heavy rain and hiked to the top of the #LionRock on the evening of June 9, 2022.
On the mountain, they displayed the light signs that spelled "Glory HK", to commemorate the third anniversary of the 2019 June 9 #AntiExtradition protest march.
When the group reached the summit, however, the hill was shrouded by dense clouds and heavy rain, with a thunderstorm warning from the weather observatory. After discussing their options, the group decided to carry through and set up the sign while they waited for the clouds to clear. Their patience was rewarded after waiting for over an hour; the clouds cleared for a brief moment, and Hong Kong's city lights come into view behind their glowing sign.
Speaking to a reporter, the organizer likened the weather atop the mountain to the outlook for Hong Kong's future: full of dark clouds, but there will be light for those who hold on to the end.
"The oppression keeps Hongkongers from speaking our minds, and even rational debates on the Internet risk violating the authority's red line; however, the beliefs of Hongkongers 3 years ago surely remain engraved in our hearts, and they will never change," said one of the participants.

Man who Posted Video of Olympic Gold Ceremony with "Glory to Hong Kong" Now Charged with "Insulting National Anthem of China"
When Hong Kong fencer #CheungKaLong won a #GoldMedal at the #TokyoOlympics in July 2021, many Hongkongers were overjoyed. Among them, a 27-year-old man published a video of the medal ceremony on the Internet, replacing the audio of China's national anthem with "Glory to Hong Kong," an anthem of the 2019 #AntiELAB movement.
One year later, the man was now charged with "insulting the national anthem of China" and "insulting the emblem of the Hong Kong SAR."
The case was heard in the Eastern Magistrates on July 22, 2022. The man was not represented by any counsel. The magistrate accepted the man's request to postpone the hearing to September 2, 2022, so that the man can look for a lawyer.

Hong Kong Man Arrested for Sedition Outside British Consulate after Playing Songs while Mourning the Queen
Large crowds of Hongkongers gathered outside the British Consulate in Central on Monday evening, as the Queen's state funeral took place in London at the same time. Many lit candles in remembrance of the late queen.
One man brought his harmonica and allegedly performed various songs, including #GodSaveTheQueen and #GloryToHongKong. This reportedly caused a commotion in the gathered crowd, and the police arrested him after around half an hour.
Police announced today (20th) that the man was suspected to have taken actions with seditious intent, and is currently under arrest for investigation.

editor's note: The sedition law, under which the man was charged, dated back to Hong Kong's colonial days. Britain has repealed the offence of seditious libel in 2009. In July 2022, the UN Human Rights Committee had urged Hong Kong to abolish its sedition law as well as the National Security Law as they violated the freedom of expression in the city.
