Pompeo demands China to Unconditionally Release of 12 pro-democracy HK activists: They deserve a heroās welcome abroad
US Secretary of State #MikePompeo called for the immediate release of 10 Hong Kong activists who were sentenced to between seven months and three years in jail by a Chinese court.
The ten Hongkongers were arrested by the Chinese authorities arrested at sea as they reportedly fled the city and tried to reach Taiwan by speedboat in August 2020.
On December 30, 3020, the Chinese court in Shenzhen sentenced eight of the Hongkongers to seven months in jail, one to two years and one to three years. Two underage Hongkongers were handed over to Hong Kong police, since they have been detained in China in August 2020.
Pompeo said, "The āHong Kong 12ā who tried to flee this tyranny deserved a heroās welcome abroad, not capture, a secret trial and prison sentences."
The United States strongly condemns the Shenzhen courtās actions and calls for the 10 members of the group who were sentenced to jail terms to be immediately and unconditionally released.ā
āThe CCPās persecution of the Hong Kong 12 ā two of whom were juveniles at the time of their arrest ā exposes once again Beijingās brutality, blatant disregard for the international treaties it has signed, and its disdain for the rights of the Hong Kong people,ā Pompeo added.
Pompeo further expressed in the statement, " A regime that prevents its own people from leaving can lay no claim to greatness or global leadership. It is simply a fragile dictatorship, afraid of its own people."

Families of Jailed Hongkongers Attemp to Pay Visit to Chinese Prison Amidst Ambigious Rule Set Up by Chinese Authorities
On Dec 30, 2020, the Chinese court in Yantian, Shenzhen sentenced 10 pro-democracy Hongkongers to Chinese prison for seven months to three years. Another two Hongkongers, who were also captured and detained with the rest of the group since August 2020, were repatriated to Hong Kong, for they were under 18 of age. During their detention so far, the Chinese authorities have barred the 12 Hongkongers from having any external contacts including family and lawyers' visits.
Some detainees' families set off to Shenzhen on the morning of Jan 3, 2021, hoping to complete the quarantine isolation procedure and visit the prisoned as soon as possible.
However, the Justice Bureau of Shenzhen in China amended the visit arrangement in Dec 2020, by "temporarily suspending" the acceptance of foreign personnel on-site visits.
Ms. Chow Hang-tung, a barrister who has assisted the Hong Kong youthsā families, predicted that the families would be considered as foreign personnel, while concrete arrangements need to be further understood.
Former pro-democracy lawmaker Eddie Chu Hoi-dick, who has been supporting the 12 Hong Kong youthsā families, said that the family have departed and arrived in Shenzhen as of 5pm on Jan 3, 2021.
The ā12 Hongkonger Concern Groupā also stated on the same afternoon that three family members have arrived at Shenzhen and will undergo the 14-day quarantine period. They are going to seek for prison visit right after the first trialās 10-day appeal period is over, and the judgement has taken effect.

Brother of HK activist detained in China reopens online #Lego shop to raise funds for sentencing fee
Over half a year has passed since 12 fleeing pro-democracy Hongkongers were arrested by the Chinese police at sea and detained in China.
10 of the 12 activists that were charged with "illegal border crossing" have already been escorted back to Hong Kong. The remaining two, #Tang KaiYin and #QuinnMoon, were charged by China for "organizing illegal border crossing". They are currently still serving their three-year and two-year sentences in China respectively.
In April 2021, Tangās younger brother announced on social media that he will reopen his brother's online model shop; he will be selling Tang's stock of discontinued Lego sets.
The profits, after covering rent for the storage space, will mainly be used to pay the fees of Tangās incarceration in China, as well as his $20K RMB fine.
The remainder will be used to support Tang when he returns to Hong Kong after serving his sentence.
Since the arrest of the 12 Hongkongers, the younger Tang had been busy dealing with the authorities on his brother's behalf, as well as handling the media and taking care of his family. There had been times when he became exhausted and even fell ill, and he admits that he blamed his brother sometimes. "But then I would think, he didn't steal or hurt anyone. There's a reason he did what he did, so ..." he pauses, "I became more accepting and more forgiving."
He says that he had never been a Lego enthusiast. He joked that, although he now spends all his spare time on the online shop, he still couldn't get interested in Lego. He wanted to tell his brother: "Hurry up and come back and deal with your stuff, I don't want to touch it. Take care of yourself; we're family, I'll wait for you."

7 young activists sentenced to 10 months in jail in Hong Kong after serving in Chinese prison
The #12HongKongers who intended to abscond to #Taiwan reportedly in August 2020 were arrested and detained by PRC's marine police for secretly crossing the border.
Up til July 2022, 2 of these 12 Hongkongers are still being detained in China while 9 were charged for #ObstructionofJustice when they returned to Hong Kong after serving their sentence in China.
Amonh them, Wong Wai-Yin were charged with the #CrimeofExplosives instead of Obstruction of Justice. Hoang Lam Phuc and the others have pleaded guilty and were sentenced to 10 months in jail at the District Court in Hong Kong on July 15, 2022.
Li Chi-yin, who is serving 3.5 years in prison, was added 7 months in jail.
Temporary judge Wong Hing-Wai Newman claimed that their behaviour shows their ignorance and intention to challenge to Hong Kong judicial system.
The judge describes the case as the "first in history" that the Department of Justice charges people who do not return to detention on time for Obstruction of Justice. He says it is a pity to sentence these young defendants after reading their petition letters, but "rules are rules".
