Citizens Protest In Front of HSBC Headquarters and Court of Appeal Against Alleged Political Suppression of Spark Alliance

In response to the police arrest of Spark Alliance members for suspected money laundering yesterday, citizens protested during lunchtime in Central on December 20.

Many sang "May Glory be to Hong Kong" outside the Court of Final Appeal and chanted slogans like "Support Spark Alliance, Protect Our Brothers".

Today, HSBC mentioned on its facebook page that they "never take the decision to close an account lightly" and their action undertaken to close the account of Spark Alliance in November is "unrelated" to the current situation of Hong Kong. (See,

Facing the lunchtime protest in Central, HSBC, however, decided to close their entrace at Des Voeux Road Central, as riot police stood by.

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.

Gov't Stops Incumbent #DistrictCouncillor's Salary and Office Income, #TedHui: Lack of Legal Basis shows the Panic of Hong Kong’s political power”

The Home Affairs Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR government is stopping the payroll, the allowance and the expense reimbursement of district councillor Ted Hui from December 3, 2020. The government cited Hui’s self-exile as a reason.

Hui responded to the Hong Kong government’s decision as “No legal basis at all”. He also states that his HSBC bank account has been frozen, making it impossible to withdraw any of his salary since then.

Hui said the government’s treatment of him is a political statement but should be considered useless. The government’s action is severely impacting the district councillor's office that has continued to serve Hong Kong citizens.

Hui said that the government should not stop any payment of the payroll when the councillors are still serving their term of office. He is very disappointed with how the government wields political power and ignores the public interest.
