Pro-democracy fights carry on in the form of public art
Local artist, Giraffe Leung Lok Hei, rolled out a public art event, Paper Over the Cracks.
Using yellow adhesive tape, Leung framed the markings of slogans and phrases written by protestors on street corners and added small tags to introduce each “art piece”, just like the display of any contemporary masterpiece at an art gallery
Leung made a territory-wide invitation for all HongKongers to take part and create “art pieces” with him. Leung explained, “it requires no particular skills. You need only tape, pen and paper.” He continued, “actually the society is full of anomalies , we shouldn’t let ourselves get numbed."
Leung called on the public to post their own “art pieces” online using hashtags like #粉飾太平香港 or #paperoverthecracks to
collate their artworks and share their feelings.

Police Allegedly Dox Investigative Reporter: An Apparent Retaliation and a Blow to Press Freedom, Journalist Association Laments
Apple Daily revealed earlier that Assistant Police Commissioner, Rupert Dover and his wife, also a police officer, had rented out one of the houses they are residing in Sai Kung as a guesthouse. The couple was suspected of breaching both the property rule which restricted usage of the house to an immediate family member of the house owner and operation of a guesthouse for short-term stays without a license.
Subsequently, Dover’s wife, Cheung Ngai-si allegedly changed her profile picture on Facebook to a picture of the reporter who was involved in Dover’s investigative report, perhaps, a retaliation by way of doxxing the involved reporter.
The incident is seen as a blow to press freedom and amounts to contempt of court as Apple Daily had obtained an injunction order from the High Court forbidding anyone from disclosing or publishing personal details of its staff.
While the paper was discussing options with lawyers to protect its staff, it issued a legal letter to Dover’s wife on May 2, demanding an apology and compensation and the reporter was expected to file a complaint with the privacy commissioner.
The Hong Kong Journalists' Association (HKJA) issued a statement, pointing out that the police officer's switching of her Facebook profile picture to the reporter's photo couldn’t be a coincidence. Such action was disturbing and added pressure to the press. The Association reiterated that Dover and his wife are public officials. When facing adverse media reports, they should respond appropriately to the content of the story, not targeting individual journalists. The Association urged the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data to follow up on and investigate the matter actively.

Transcending Fear: Hong Kong Social Worker Vows for the Quest for Freedom, Out of His Love for Hong Kong
Reflecting on the year-long anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong in 2019, social worker Hendick Lui Chi-Hang said, “I have been increasingly involved and more and more forth coming in each protest. For many times, I told myself that this time is going to be the last time and I have to overcome my limit.”
Despite that, there has been “next time”. Lui said, “Probably, it is out of my love to this land.”
It could also be rage. Lui elaborated, “You might also see it as ‘I can’t stand it’. There are some small things that we could do, though these things might not be useful, we should continue doing it.”
What if one day he was arrested and being sent to China for trial?
It seems that Lui was sharing his thoughts to the reporter, but also talking in melancholy, “it doesn’t matter. I believe as long as there are Hongkongers, there will be a pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong, fighting for freedom.”

HK Pro-democracy Activist punished in solitary confinement for arbitrary offences
On July 20, 2021, Former Councilor of Southern District, #TiffanyYuen Ka-wai, had finished serving her 4-month jail term after taking part in the June 4 vigil at Victoria Park in 2020, which was banned by the police for the first time in 30 years.
At the end of her prison term, she was sent to the Lo Wu Correctional Facility to continue to be detained for charges linked to the pro-democracy camp primaries of Legislative Council election in 2020.
At the detention cell, she hugged several other pro-democracy activists also being detained.
Soon afterwards, Yuen was penalized by the authorities for “making physical contact with other prisoners” and placed in solitary confinement for 10 days.
Yuen’s friend Wong Li-li told reporters that there was no enforcement guidelines in the Correctional Services Department decision. Wong explained that “physical contacts” occur naturally in prison routines, condemning that the Department’s decision is arbitrary and targeting unfairly at Yuen.
Look into the Prison Rules in Hong Kong for offences against prison discipline, it certainly didn’t consist of making “physical contact with other prisoners," Wong said.

Defiant University Students Carry Out Pop-Up Protests on Graduation Day, Calls Attention to Persecuted Students
November 4 marked the annual graduation ceremony of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK). Although no large-scale protests were seen this year under the iron grip of the National Security Law, traces of defiance still sprang up around the campus.
Large Banners Protest Admin Interference in Student Governance
As early as 6:30am, a large vertical banner with the words “Restore Student Autonomy「還我學生自治」” was spotted, as was another smaller one that said “Consultation Must Precede Staff-Student Collaboration 員生共治,必先共議」” . By 8am, both banners had been removed by school staff.
On the #WallofDemocracy, a large notice board created for students to voice opinion, multiple posters were seen with the call “OSA and subsidiary faculty committee, join the provisional Administration”, protesting the school's new requirement for student organizations to be registered with the school administration.
During the graduation ceremony, defiant graduates from Nursing showed protest handbills that wrote “Dare to be different; Be Faithful to your belief 「棱角分明,毋負期許」”. Some social work graduates wore white ribbons on their graduation robes, and carried handbills with slogans such as “Grieve our Student Union”.
Ex-Police Security Chief Disrupts Students Handing Out White Ribbons, But Chastised by Parents
At around 12:30, 5 CUHK students held up a banner that wrote “Grieve my CUHK” on the University Mall, and set up a counter to hand out white ribbons.
Although the group of students did not obstruct the proceeding of graduation ceremony, they were quickly encircled by more than 10 campus security and were ordered to leave. The students demanded the security guards for reasons that they were not allowed to hand out white ribbons, as they were not obstructing the ceremony.
Lee Wing-kwong, head of Campus Security and a former Police Superintendent, ordered his staff to remove the students’ protest materials immediately. He was, however, stopped by members of Student Affairs Office, who asked him to “calm down”.
Some parents on the site stepped in to show their support to the protesting students. Quoting the classic Confucian text "Great Learning", they criticized the campus guards for abusing their powers: "Don't you officials remember the Way of the Great Learning?"
"We've Graduated, But They Couldn't"
Scattered protest activities continued around campus into the evening. Nine graduates, wearing their graduation robes, held up signs with names of fellow students who had been arrested and jailed for their involvement in the 2019 anti-ELAB movement.
Their names are Cheung Chun-ho, Tang Hei-man, Ko Tsz-bun, Lau Chun-yuk, Fu Ngai-Ching, Chen Lik-sik, Hui Yi-shui, Li Chun-ho.
The last sign read poignantly: "We've graduated, but they couldn't."

Director of Drifting Petals – a film takes anti-ELAB movement as background – clinches Golden Horse Best Director Award
The Kong Kong raised Melbourne film maker Clara Law snatched Best Director at the 58th Golden Horse Awards, after being nominated for a Golden Horse award for the seventh time.
The film, Drifting Petals, took 2019 anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong as background. With protest scenes and images intertwined in the film, Law illustrated not only changes that Hong Kong has undergone, but also the fear and anxiety among Hong Kong people.
The jury praised Law for using a "poetic" way to examine history and reality, showcasing her talent and vision.
Now residing in Australia, Law thanked the jury for bringing the film to Taiwan. Actress Lin Lai received the best director award for Law and spoke on her behalf in the ceremony.
Lai quoted Law that “perhaps, Taiwan and European countries are the only places in the world where her work could be officially shown.”
Lai carried on saying, “She (Clara Law) is a Hong Kong Director. She made this film in Hong Kong but it remains unclear whether the film can be shown there.”
