China Detains Human Rights Lawyers and Familes On the Eve of World's Human Rights Day
The UN Human Rights Day is observed on December 10 since 1948. On the eve of this year's Human Rights Day, human rights lawyers in China and their families were barred from making public appearance and leaving their homes between December 9 and 10.
The National Security Police sent by the Chinese Communist Party government said blatantly that the aim was to prevent them from joining Human Rights Day activities.
The targets are human rights lawyers such as Yu Wensheng, Huang Quanzhang and Li Heping and their families. Not only that their homes were blocked or monitored by a group of unidentified agents, but they were also barred from bringing their kids to school or visiting hospitalized parent.
In Taiwan, 18 organizations petitioned and called on the international community to monitor China's human rights oppression.

Correctional Services Department Censors Books and Pictures Showing "Liberate Hong Kong" Flag
Former lawmaker Bottle Shiu Ka-chun is known for his advocacy in inmates' rights. In his Facebook post on December 4, 2020, Shiu said that Hong Kong Correctional Services demanded to have several pages of three books, nanely "Yuen Long Dark Night", "Under the Sky", and "Hongkonger 2.0" torn away before they could be admitted into the prison. Shiu described the three books as "the latest books banned by the Correctional Services".
The pages to be removed include the descriptions about the gangsters' participation in Yuen Long 721 attack, the police deployment that night, and pictures of "Liberate Hong Kong" flag. Shiu criticized the Department for claiming that there is no censor list, but the inmates' right to read is restricted.
He described the book censorship in the Correctional Services as arbitrary and willful: "If (the Correctional Services) wants to tear away the pages, you can only choose not to bring the books in".

China-born, Pro-Beijing financiers launch new Bauhinia Party in Hong Kong in a bid to "reform" the Opposition-less Legislature
After the disqualification and the mass resignation of the democrats in Hong Kong, the pro-Beijing Camp is expected to further monopolize the Legislative Council's chairs.
Li Shan, a China-born member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the director of the Credit Suisse Group, together with the chairman of China Broadcasting Holdings, Huang Qiuzhi, and the others, launched a new political party "Bauhinia Party" in Hong Kong in May 2020.
The party plans to recruit 250,000 party members with the goal of supporting "one country, two systems" and "a high degree of autonomy", and improving the relationship between Beijing and the SAR government.
The founder Li Shan showed strong support to the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong, and even demanded another transitional system to prosecute and review cases involving breaches of #NationalSecurityLaw, and to complete the legislation of #Article23 of the Basic Law in the future.
He claimed that the newly established political party is a "determined defender" of the principle of "one country, two systems".

CCP IS ATTACKING CHURCHES IN HONG KONG! With its track records with burning churches in mainland China, arresting congregants who attended Zoom Easter service, we're not surprised that #CCP's claw is extending to #HongKong churches. Seize this moment to show #China that you stand for #freedomofreligion. Sign the petition to demand HSBC to unfreeze these accounts.

Yes, we know that Vatican is Catholic and this raided church is Christian. But it is not so much a problem of which God one believes in, than the principle of religious freedom, and CCP's animosity to any religion. Because under CCP rule, your only faith must be the party.
