One Year Since the Death of #Covid19 #Whistleblower Dr. Li Wenliang in China
One year ago on Feb 6, 2020, Dr. Li Wenliang, an ophthalmologist in Wuhan, died of the coronavirus in China.
At the first epicenter of the coronavirus in China, he revealed news of the outbreak of #WuhanPneumonia on Chinese social media platform as early as on December 30, 2019. He was later arrested by the Chinese Communist Party government for "publishing false statements."
On February 1, 2020, he announced himself having contracted the coronavirus. The news of his death was covered up and announced only later by the Chinese authorities, in order to control the emotion of the population.
While the #CCP accused Dr.Li of being a "rumour monger" when he was alive, the Chinese authorities chaged their narrative and praised him after his death.

Sweeping victory for pro-HongKongers councilor to defend her seat in city council
An independent councilor in Taiwan’s Kaohsiung city kept her seat despite an attempt by supporters of a pro-Beijing party to kick her out in a recall election.
Huang Chieh, a prominent supporter of Hong Kong’s democracy movement, prevailed as city councilor in the Kaohsiung district of Fengshan after more than 65,200 people rejected the motion to unseat her, compared with the 55,300 or so who voted yes.
At least 41.5%, or 121,000 voters, out of the 291,000 eligible cast ballots in the weekend poll.
The campaign against Huang was largely seen as one of a number of retaliatory moves driven by supporters of the opposition party Kuomintang. One of the reasons for seeking to oust Huang was that she had “illegally intervened in ‘Hong Kong violence’ by arranging for donations of supplies” to back the city’s pro-democracy movement, said the Central Election Commission, Taiwan’s statutory agency managing elections.

Businessman from China Exempted from Quarantine in Hong Kong Confirmed with Coronavirus
A 39-year-old businessman exempted from quarantine in Hong Kong has been confirmed positive after he arrived in Hong Kong from China. However, the Department of Health in Hong Kong did not take an initiative to mention this case at the press conference.
Dr. Chuang Shuk-Kwan, Head of Communicable Disease Branch spoke about the case after being continuously questioned by the media.
The patient, who was exempted from compulsory quarantine, lives in Shenzhen and arrived in Hong Kong on January 23, 2021. He started to get sick on January 30.
The patient has not been to Hong Kong for one year and has been working in China. The Hong Kong government official pointed out that “he has a company in Hong Kong, but it seems that he hasn’t been going to work there”.
The Department of Health said they will communicate with Chinese health authorities since the process to trace his previous activity in China needs to be carried out by them.
The patient was tested negative in China on January 21, 2021 and showed symptoms of a headache on Jan 30. He was confirmed positive on February 3. He was in Hong Kong from January 23 until the onset of his illness.
The man has shopped at Citygate in Tung Chung and did not do any other activities. He was in Shenzhen during the other half of his incubation period.
Chuang explained that “[The patient] spent half the [incubation] period in Shenzhen and half in Hong Kong. We decided to treat it as a 'local case' since there are many cases in Hong Kong but very few in China.”

Citizen Journalist Zhang Zhan Seen Looking Haggard After Hunger Strike in Chinese Prison
The photos of citizen Journalist Zhang Zhan's appearance in court have been released. Zhang is said to have been undergoing a hunger strike for six months, and is seen looking haggard and in a wheelchair when appearing before the court accompanied by two court police in China.
Wang Jianhong, a supporter of the #FreeZhangZhan movement, posted the photos on Twitter, which were taken back in 28 December 2020 when Zhang stood trial at Shanghai Pudong People's Court.
The tweet mentioned Zhang was bound and forced to face the court, stating that, "the wheelchair she was in had a wide belt binding her to the back of her wheelchair preventing movement. She was wearing handcuffs." The tweet also mentioned that Zhang's mother stated to the media that Zhang looked "haggard and thin to the bone" when looked from behind.
Zhang Zhan, who conducted a hunger strike and once rebuked a judge with "This is where we judge you for your sins, not mine", was convicted of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" after posting videos on quarantine measures and the medical situation in Wuhan, and sentenced to four years in prison.
Zhang's lawyer had reported seeing Zhang with a NG tube, while being bound around the wrists and waist.

As Koo stepped into the defendant’s dock, he tried to wave and thank his supporters in the courtroom, but was immediately stopped by court security.
Later on when the magistrate asked Koo whether he understood the charges against him, Koo shouted, “Human rights rank above the right of states, and the people are more important than the state. I am not guilty.”
He was soon interrupted by the judge and ordered to cease shouting.
Without a legal representative, Koo applied for bail on his own, and was denied. He was not required to enter a plea as the Judge adjourned the case to April 1, 2022. Koo would be remanded in custody until then.
