Detainee's Family Questions Handwritten Letter “Calling off Their Actions” Sent From China

It has been nearly 100 days since the 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers were detained in China. Recently, some families received handwritten letters from their close ones but suspected that they were copywritten.

In a letter supposedly written by Andy Li, it was mentioned that he has "reflected on his past behaviors" and urged his sister to “call off and stop organizing” the campaign page “Andy is Missing” which she has created to seek help internationally.

The letter goes “I am the bad example, please don’t end up like your brother, or it will be too late to regret it.”

Beatrice Li, Andy's sister, believes that those are not at all the sincere words from her brother. She thinks that her brother is regarded as a big threat, and Chinese authorities are “holding my brother as a hostage to shut me up.”

She emphasized that she would not stop speaking up, and further called on the world to continue to follow the situation of the 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers detained by China and “to let the CCP know they cannot do as they please.”

[Editor's note:
In 2015, the "Causeway Bay Booksellers' Disappearance" shocked the world where China abducted 5 booksellers of different nationals from Hong Kong, Thailand and China.

Among them, Gui Minhai, a Swedish citizen, was believed to be forced to confess for his involvement in a fatal traffic accident more than a decade earlier. He served two years in prison but he was arrested months after his release.

Gui was sentenced by the Chinese court to another 10 years in jail for "illegally providing intelligence overseas".

The bookstore was known to sell banned books and tabloids
including those about the personal lives of Chinese Communist Party members.]

The sister of Li told Stand News that barrister Lawrence Law Tat-Hung, who was representing Li in court, was not the lawyer appointed by the family. She further said that she had no knowledge of such a person until she heard it from the news.

Stand News reporters called Lawrence Law Tat-Hung on the morning of March 31, 2021, to inquire whether he had been appointed by Li.

The barrister replied by saying “Excuse me, but I’m not at liberty to say too much”. The reporter also mentioned that Li’s sister did not know him, Law then immediately hung up the phone.

Andy Li was charged with "conspiracy to commit collusion with a foreign country", "conspiracy to assist criminals" and "unlicensed possession of ammunition". The case was heard on the morning of March 31 in the West Kowloon Magistrates' Court.
