The Treasury is currently sanctioning Carrie Lam, Chris Tang, Stephen Lo, John Lee Ka-chiu, Teresa Cheng, Erick Tsang, Xia Baolong, Zhang Xiaoming, Luo Huining, Zheng Yanxiong, and Eric Chan.

[Demonstration in Berlin: Protest Against Political Censorship in Hong Kong]

Recently, there are lots of things happening in Hong Kong, including the arrest of the owner of the press Apple Daily, Jimmy Lai. The repression from China is always getting stronger but we will not be silent.

Tomorrow in Berlin, we will gather under the World Clock at Alexanderplatz to voice out for the Hongkongers. Keep in mind that the new law is extraterritorial and they have already put a warrant on Ray Wong. So please bring your umbrellas and bring your masks with you. If you want to help setting up, come around at 13:30!

Always remember, an Apple a Day, keeps the Tyranny away!

See you~

Police Arrest 16, Including 2 Legislators Charged With Involvement in 7.21 Attacks and 7.6 March

16 people, including Democratic Party legislators Lam Cheuk-ting and Ted Hui Chi-fung, online media reporter Hei Hei (熙熙) and others, were reportedly arrested on the morning of Aug 26, 2020, with 13 people charged with "rioting" under last year's Yuen Long 7.21 Attacks, while four people including Lam and Hui were charged with illegal assembly, perverting the course of justice, accessing computers with dishonest intent, property damage and other charges.

The Democratic Party had stated on social media that the police had separately arrested Lam and Hui at their residences, claiming their involvement in a last year's case regarding the Tuen Mun Police Station. The police also claimed that Lam had a rioting charge for his involvement in the Yuen Long 7.21 Attacks.

For Hui, the police claimed he had charges of accessing computers with criminal or dishonest intent, property damage among others.

According to Lam's social media account administrator, the police also claimed Lam had charges of conspiring others to damage property and perverting the course of justice.

CRHK and TVB and among others stated that 13 men, including Lam, were charged with rioting charges for last year's Yuen Long 7.21 Attacks. 3 men and 1 women, including Lam and Hui, were involved in last year's Tuen Mun Park case, with charges of illegal assembly, perverting the course of justice, accessing computers with dishonest intent, property damage among others.

According to online media reporter Hei Hei, police had a search warrant while searching his residence, later demanding him stop recording.

On 6 July 2019, netizens organised a "Liberate Tuen Mun Park" march. After the march ended, around 400 pro-democracy protesters gathered outside the Tuen Mun Police Station. According to reports that day, Lam and Hui were there to defuse the situation. Nearly all citizens dispersed at around 10 in the evening.

On 21 July evening last year, dozens of men in white shirts entered the Yuen Long MTR Station, YOHO Mall and other locations holding metal and wooden rods. At least 45 people, including Lam and former TVB News host Ryan Lau, were injured. Despite the amount of people phoning the police for aid, the police arrived late at the scene.
