Kwong Wing Cafe offers free Christmas Dinners

The Kwong Wing Cafe in Hau Fuk Street, Tsim Sha Tsui offered Christmas dinners tonight for free. A long queue of around 300 customers was formed between the entrance of the café and Carnarvon Road. Some customers started to queue as early as 6 o'clock. Some found the food was so delicious that they lined up all over again for the second round, while some others decided to make a donation rather than just eating.

Shih Hong-heng, who once cooked for the protesters in PolyU and was known as the "kitchen guy", initially planned to cook a 1,000-person Christmas dinner tonight for free for the public with a Kwong Wing Café on Hou Fuk Street, Tsim Sha Tsui. Unfortunately, Shih was arrested last night so he was not able to participate tonight. Kwong Wing Café said the event will continue as scheduled, but there will be no celebrations, and all "tips" received will be given to Shih.

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.
