Mother of Detained Pro-democracy Hongkonger: "When Can You Come Home, My Son?”

Wong Wai-Yin is one of the 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers who were arrested by Chinese authorities in late August 2020 and jailed in China since then without any trial and without being able to meet with their families and lawyers.

Wong's mother took a picture near their home, thinking of her son and pleading for his return.

"We live in this village and we cross this bridge everyday. Ever since the [Hong Kong] police raided our home, they blockaded the bridge and sealed off at least half of the village," Wong's mother said, "Whenever I cross the bridge to work or to go back home, I think of you. When can you come home, my son?”

The 12 Hongkongers have been jailed by the Chinese Communist Party government for over 70 days.

Hongkongers Climb Amah Rock, Longing the Return of 12 Pro-democracy Protesters Jailed in China

Nov 30, 2020 marks the 100th day since China has detained 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers.

On the evening of Nov 29, civilians in Hong Kong climbed up to the Amah Rock and displayed the sign of "#Save12". The Amah Rock is also called the Mong Fu Shek. The rock got its name, as its shape resembles a woman carrying her baby waiting for the return of her husband lost at sea.

In August 2020, China captured 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers and has them jailed in Shenzhen, barring them from meeting their families and lawyers appointed by the family.

In the past few months, people in Hong Kong incessantly demand Chinese authorities to return the 12 Hongkongers.

Hongkongers Send Christmas Cards to Support 12 Pro-democracy Protesters Detained by China; HK Student: We Shoulder the Pain Together

The "Save 12 Hong Kong Youths Concern Group" recently launched a campaign to send Christmas cards to the 12 Hongkongers who have been detained by the Chinese authority for over 100 days.

Yau Tsim Mong District Councilor Chu Kong-wai organized the Christmas card station on December 18, 2020 in Mong Kok, hoping that Hong Kong people would keep paying attention to the 12 detainees to protect them from inhuman treatment.

Candice, a secondary school student who joined the campaign said that she hopes to shoulder the pain experienced by the 12 HongKongers, so that they know that Hong Kong people have always been by their side,

"I hope that they can insist on their ideas, they have done nothing wrong." The HKSAR government earlier stated that the Liber Studies subject should be reformed. Candice said that the Liberal Studies teacher mentioned the 12 Hongkongers before in class but did not discuss it in depth, "I could feel the pressure borne by the Liberal Studies teacher, but s/he told us that s/he would teach us until nothing was allowed to teach."

Mr. Ho, who is in his 50s and works in the air transport industry wrote on the Christmas card the words, "May Heaven destroy the CCP".

Regarding whether his Christmas card can be delivered to the 12 Hongkoners, Mr. Ho said, "I didn’t expect this card could be successfully delivered when I wrote these words, but I will still say what I want to say.".

Mr. Ho said that his friend had been unjustly imprisoned in China for eight months, which has made him no longer believe in the judicial system of China.

China Informs 12 Hong Kong Youths' Families of Their Trial Only 3 Days Prior on Christmas Day

On the Christmas Day of 2020, the families of the 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers detained in China not only could not see their loved ones; seven families also received a last-minute notice from the lawyers appointed by the Chinese Government that the trial of ten of the 12 Hongkongers would take place on Dec 28, 2020, which was in less than 3 days including the public holidays.

Among the 12 Hongkongers detained by the Chinese authorities since August 2020, ten of them will face trial on Dec 28, 2020 at the Yantian Court in China, but only seven families received such a notice.

The Chinese court told the media that it belonged to a "secret case" and no public and media would be allowed to audit. The trial is also not listed in the timetable of the Yantian People's Court.

The #Save12HKYouths Concern Group released a statement on Dec 25, 2020, demanding the delivery of confirmed, open and clear information of the trials of the 12 Hongkongers. They also demanded the presence of their families, the lawyers hired by their families, Hong Kong and international media and diplomats from different countries to be allowed in court.

The families also demanded the Chinese authorities to allow them to pay the prison a visit, were the detained Hongkongers to be sentenced; and the HKSAR government to send representatives to make sure the civil rights of the Hongkongers could be protected.
