Yuen Long District Councilor to Run in Pro-democracy Camp's Primary
On June 19, Ng Kin-wai, Yuen Long district councilor and member of Tin Shui Wai Connects announced plan to join the Pro-democracy Camp's primary for the Legislative Council election in September. The primaries will be held in July.
On the same list with Ng is Lam Chun, who is currently charged with riotting. Ng has just sold his flat to fund their election campaign. It was a day before the news about the Security Law legislation came out.
Ng said this means Hongkongers cannot back down anymore and should give it all out in this fight, "If our generation refuses to act, the next generation will suffer. As long as we are determined to fight against Communist China, Hong Kong will definitely restitute on one day."

Students and Alumni of La Salle College Denounce Beijing's Forced Implementation of National Security Law in Hong Kong
The statement was printed on the frontpage of Apple Daily on June 20, crowdfunded by students and alumni of La Salle College.
They called themselves "a group of LaSallians who refuse to be re-presented".
The statement quoted the classical Chinese four-character idiom: "to restrain oneself and return to propriety." Juxtaposed with the words "Country" and "Hong Kong" and the use of two colors, the line can also suggest the country to stay restrained and that Hong Kong will then return to propriety.

Pro-democracy Optical shop claims no surprise to nuisance and vows no regrets to exhibiting support to #AppleDaily
ipoint Optical is an optical shop in Hong Kong, known for its voluntary service and free eyewear to detained and arrested pro-democracy protesters.
On June 20, 2021, the shop placed a front-page advertisement on Apple Daily, following the police's raid, arrests and the freezing of assets.
Soon after that, the shop has been spitefully harassed, receiving nearly a hundred anonymous phone calls in one morning.
Without much alternative, the shop must stop answering all phone calls which impacted badly on their business operation. The shop called for their customers to contact them via other means.
Owner of the optical shop, Michael expressed that someone put up pro-government posters outside their shop to indicate disagreement, so he was not surprised and concerned about more nuisance.
He reiterated that he took no regrets in putting up an advertisement on Apple Daily. There were also new customers visiting them after seeing the ad, Michael said.
