1930 | Central
The “Sparking the Free World Afire” Rally was held at 1900 at Edinburgh Place, Central today (23 Dec 19), with the venue crowded with participants.
The first highlight of the evening was Duncan Ho, founder of Spark Alliance Hong Kong. He stressed, “First, all countries that are being suppressed by the Chinese Government could pass the Hong Kong Be Water Act; second, the Chinese corporation should not be allowed to sell stocks in foreign countries; third, stop the Chinese corporation being listed companies in foreign countries so that the Chinese Government would not be able to cheat money from these countries.”
Ventus Lau, convener of the Community Network Union, then thanked his team for arranging three events in a row, which he stated were not easy. He then condemned the riot police who ran into “Human Rights Rally of Solidarity with the Uyghurs” held yesterday and pointed a gun to a civilian who was holding a poster.
Followed by Ventus Lau was Nathaniel Lau, president of the Assistant Fund for Protestors of the Hong Kong Federation of Students. He shared his stories of setting up the fund. He stressed, “I hope that we could turn the slogans into actions and that Spark Alliance would continue to be supported.”
Next, Kat Ho, Director of Hong Kong Accounting Alliance Profession talked about the HSBC money laundering isssue and the process of laundering money.
Chairman of the Financial Industry Employees General Union Easy Kwok Ka-wing said that seeing even HSBC had been controlled by the CCP, other banks could also be controlled by the CCP. He urged that all people in the financial sector should be united in the movement.
People cheered with the speakers with “Stand with Hong Kong, Fight for Freedom”, “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our times”, “Five Demands, Not One Less”.

Hong Kong Police: We are Capable of Judging Citizens Who Celebrate and Those Who "Cause Trouble" on Christmas' Eve
While Christmas' Eve is usually a festive occasion in Hong Kong where citizens fill the street, the police was asked whether they would charge citizens who go out with unlawful assembly. Police responded by claiming that they know how to
judge citizens who celebrate Christmas and those who "cause trouble".
Editor's note:
The Hong Kong police for many times evade giving concrete answers to questions by simply asking the public to believe in their 'judgement' without question. Here, one should not forget how the police explained their shooting of two unarmed students with live bullets and without prior warning in the morning of November 11, 2019 in Sai Wan Ho.
According to the police, the three gunshots "took place within split second" and that is why no warning was issued.

“Build a Tree with You” - Neighbours Wishing our Brothers & Sisters Safe
As Christmas is approaching, some citizens organised a "tree-building" activity outside Hang Fa Chun MTR station. Citizens wrote their wishes on Post-it notes and posted them on a banner with slogans, forming the shape of a tree.
The organiser prepared Christmas cards and Post-its for neighbours to write their well wishes. They also provided papers with origami instructions on how to fold Christmas trees, Santa Claus and the Lin pig. Many passers-by wrote their Christmas wishes on the Post-its, including words to encourage Hong Kong people to stay strong, and "we shall meet at the bottom of the pot". Also, some people wished for the safe return of those who have been arrested and detained, while others encouraged the arrestees to "endure till the end".
Parents also showed up with their children to participate in the event, with some wearing face masks. It was a peaceful scene with no riot police in sight.
