Pro-democracy Legislator Chants Protest Slogans to Support Detained Activist; Police Deployed
1625 | Kwun Tong
Pro-democracy legislator Ray Chan of People Power continued the "anti-pandemic booth" originally run by fellow activist Tam Tak-chi, who has been arrested by the police for sedition on Sept 6, 2020.
Tam was still held in custody as the court rejected bail. The prosecution alleged that the pro-democracy protest slogans, including the familiar "Five Demands, Not One Less", chanted by Tam were "seditious".
If the court rejects bail again coming Thursday (Sept 17, 2020), Tam will face detention at least until November.
Before joining People Power, Chan and Tam used to work together as a TV and radio host duo, nicknamed 'Slow Beat' and 'Fast Beat' respectively.
At the booth run by Chan on Sumday, Sept 13, police were deployed.

#AgnesChow: Trying Hard to Adapt to Life in Prison
Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Agnes Chow, a former member of #Demosisto, was arrested and imprisoned for 10 months on charges of inciting, organizing and partaking illegal assembly.
A friend of her visited Chow during the Lunar New Year and wrote on her Facebook afterwards. She said Chow’s life in prison was mostly about reading, listening to the radio and looking forward to receiving letters.
She said Chow has just finished reading #NorwegianWood and wanted to carry on reading books by Japanese authors #HarukiMurakami and #KeigoHigashino.
Chow told her friend to send gratitude to her supporters, saying that she is working hard to adapt to prison life.
"During the time in prison, my mental and health conditions have not been well. I hope I can take a break and regain my health once being discharged in June," said Chow.

HK Police Arrest #GrannyWong
for "participating in unauthorized assembly" ALONE
On Sunday, May 30, 2021, Granny Wong was arrested by the police at around 15:19 in Wan Chai for "participating in unauthorized assembly".
Granny Wong was alone when the police surrounded and took her away by a police vechicle near the police headquarters.
Earlier, some pro-democracy group in Hong Kong had filed a protest authorization request for May 30, 2021 to commemorate the 1989 June 4th Tiananmen Massacre and condemn the Chinese Communist Party for the brutal crackdown.
The protest, alongside the annual candlelight vigil that has been taking place in Hong Kong's Victoria Park since 1990, was rejected by the Hong Kong police.
On the day, police continued to stop and search passers-by near Southampton Playground in Wan Chai, which is part of the protest route supposedly.

Pro-democracy Citizen vows: I will be among the last ones to leave Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, the first case of the #NationalSecurityLaw was trialed without jury but judges appointed by the authorities in late July, 2021. The Court put 24-year-old #TongYingKit behind bars for 9 years for "inciting secession and committing terrorist activities".
Disappointed by a trial without jury, some citizens found it still a “fortunate case” with a so-called “lenient” sentence term as many are anticipating a prison term for no less than 10 years.
Tong’s supporters said their support will continue, no matter how long it will be.
Outside the courtroom, around 50 citizens gathered to see Tong off. Among them, Jason said he couldn’t enter the viewing gallery to hear the trial, although he came half an hour earlier to queue for tickets.
Jason told reporters that although he has a Thai heritage which gives him a natural “exit plan” to leave Hong Kong at any time he wants, he finds root in Hong Kong. “I will be among the last ones to leave this city.”
Looking around at other supporters of Tong Ying-kit, Jason said he still has hope for Hong Kong, “some people might think I am naïve, but I see solidarity among pro-democracy supporters and there remains hope for Hong Kong.”
In the past two years, Jason has been following up on court cases and supporting those pro-democracy protesters being arrested and trialed. He refuted the rumors on social media that there were only few supporters in the court room to show support to every protester.
Jason claimed that he will not give up but live his life to witness the change. He asked HongKongers to hang on and support each other, “In this losing battle, what's better than supporting each other till the end?”

China Consulate in Manchester Drags Hong Kong Protesters Inside Gate and Assaults Them, Damaging Props and Tearing Out Hair
At the China Consulate in Manchester, UK yesterday (Oct 16), a group of Hongkongers gathered for a peaceful protest as the Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) Congress begins in Beijing.
Less than 2 minutes after a protester began a speech, however, several consulate staff, dressed in riot helmets and body armor, rushed out at the gathered crowd. The staff began destroying protest props and posters, and dragged at least one protester into the consulate grounds from outside the gate. A scuffle quickly developed.
Several consulate staff was seen surrounding and beating one protester that they pulled inside the consulate gates, holding down the victim and apparently tearing out a handful of hair, discarding it in a pile of signs that they had snatched from protesters:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kj45YCaF4yE
Police officers quickly intervened, rescuing several protesters that had been dragged into the consulate grounds. They quickly formed a line to prevent consulate staff from any further attempts at abducting protesters.
Bob, a Hongkonger at the protest, had several cuts on his face from the altercation with consulate staff. He told Chaser News that he saw at least 6 men came out "looking to beat up people". Sensing trouble, he stepped up to stop them, "but they dragged me inside and beat me up."
He said he was punched and kicked by the men, with injuries all over his body, and thought that he might die there. Fortunately a police officer went inside the consulate grounds and rescued him. The officers later told him that once the gate was closed, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
The man in the trench coat and face mask who came out to kick down the protesters' banners caught the attention of netizens, who noted his similar appearance to Consul-General Zhen Xiyuan in multiple pictures. He was also seen patting the back of one staff member in an armor vest as they retreated after their assault.

In a tweet sharing the video of the beating, Alicia Kearns, MP for Rutland and Melton, calls for the UK government to urgently investigate their violence on British soil and their violation of free speech. "Chinese Ambassador should be summoned and if any officials has beaten protesters, they must be expelled or prosecuted."
https://twitter.com/aliciakearns/status/1581703837915971585
The activist group Hong Kong Indigenous Defence Force sharply criticized the Chinese Consulate's actions. As consulates are sovereign territory of its represented state, if they were allowed to drag citizens into the consulate grounds, then it meant they could forcibly abduct and detain anyone in Britain who displeased them. The group urges the world to "seriously re-examine the legitimacy of the CCP's overseas consulates".
