Being re-arrested after 3 years, Mr. Yeung laments living in shadows, and hopes the legal expenses can be covered by book selling

Mr Yeung Chi-Chun, the former teacher of Liberal Studies at a secondary school, whose eyesight was damaged by a bullet from the police on #Jun122019 at #Admiralty, was arrested yesterday (#Apr14) and charged with two crimes of unauthorised assembly.

After releasing from the bail, Yeung indicates on a Facebook post that he has prepared to be re-arrested due to the judicial review application on police identification number, showing his presence at Admiralty on June 12, 2019, but he will remain in Hong Kong despites living in the shadows. And that judicial review case has indeed become part of the evidence supplied by the prosecutors.

He is operating a publishing company, #HillwayCulture, and invites people to support his legal expenses by purchasing his book. The special edition of his book is expected to be published before July 21, the day before his trial. He said, "road is obstructed and long, but will eventually come to an end by perseverance".

Yeung describes the arrest process that he was informed about the charge against him and was asked to do a home search. He did not make a recorded statement but be on court on the same day with conditioned bail – 100,000 HK dollars, travel documents and reporting to the police three times a week.

Commemorating Tragic Loss in Anti-Extradition Protest
Supporters Risk Littering Fine with Floral Tributes


June 15th marks the fourth memorial of the tragic death of Marco Leung Ling-kit, who fell from a height at #Admiralty #Pacific Place. His passing remains a solemn reminder of the #AntiExtradition Law Amendment Bill (#AntiELAB) protest in Hong Kong in 2019. This day holds significant importance as it honors the memory of Leung and reflects upon the events that unfolded during the movement.

Leung's untimely demise, coupled with the Hong Kong government's failure to respond to the demands of pro-democracy protesters to #WithdrawTheBill, gave rise to a subsequent mass protest involving two million Hong Kongers. The resounding slogan "Not disbanding until withdrawal" echoed throughout the city as a symbol of unity and resilience.

Unlike previous years, there were no uniformed police officers stationed at the site on this occasion. However, a considerable number of plainclothes police officers were scattered in the vicinity. They did not interfere with citizens who came to pay tribute to Leung and allowed them to stand and observe a moment of silence. Nevertheless, when individuals placed their floral tributes at the designated flowerbeds, plainclothes officers holding "fixed penalty tickets" swiftly emerged from all sides, warning that failure to retrieve the flowers would result in a littering fine.

The white flowers that had been placed in the flowerbeds earlier were respectfully removed by cleaning workers around 8 o'clock in the evening.
