#Hongkongers Say Farewell to Local Pro-Democracy Clothing Store #Chickeeduck
The last store of #Chickeeduck in Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong, was shut down on July 10, 2022. Many Hongkongers paid visit to the store and showed appreciation for the owner #ChowSiuLung, as he had been vocal in support of the city's pro-democracy movement.
Chow displayed the miniature of the Goddess of Liberty in his stores. When he opened his store in Tsuen Wan last year, national security police raided his store but arrested no one. In November 2021, Chow announced the closure of his business in Hong Kong, as his factories were harassed and business partners were slandered due to Chow's pro-democracy stance.
On July 11, 2022, customers visiting the store mentioned how Chickeeduck, a local children's clothing store, was their childhood memories. Some talked about the products' excellent quality and the fond memory of the owner, even during random encounters.

Hong Kong Police Harasses vulnerable Homeless Voicing Their Concerns
In the last nine years, the number of homeless in Hong Kong has surged by over 2.5 times, according to recent statistics from the Social Welfare Department. Shockingly, the government's provision of subsidized accommodation has failed to keep up with this rapid increase in the homeless population. This pressing issue came under discussion session of the Legislative Council's Welfare Services Panel on 10 July.
Before the meeting, a group of concerned citizens, including homeless individuals, gathered to petition, urging the government to adopt a more compassionate approach towards the homeless. However, the petition saw only seven participants, and the event was closely monitored by nearly ten uniformed and plainclothes police officers, raising concerns among the advocates.
Following the petition, a representative from the advocacy group was approached by the police and subjected to a lengthy reminder about the rules governing public assembly under the National Security Law, lasting almost a minute and a half.
Expressing dismay, the representative lamented, "As homeless, we are already facing hardships imposed by the government. We simply don't have the time or resources to pose a threat national security."
