Police Charge Pro-democracy activist with Sedition for Chanting "Five Demands and Not One Less" and Other Protest Slogans
Pro-democracy activist Tam Tak-chi, deputy chairman of People Power, was mentioned in Fanling Magistrates' Court on Sept 8, 2020, after being detained for more than 50 hours.
The police arrested Tam in Tai Po at noon on Sept 6, charging him with “sedition” and "causing others to hate or despise the government" under Article 10 of the Cap. 200 Crimes Ordinance.
In court, the prosecution claimed that the following phrases incite hatred for the government and the police.
1. "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times"
2. "Five Demands Not One Less"
3. "Corrupt Cop, May Your Whole Family Die"
4. "Disband the Police Force"
5. "[Police] Disppeared on 7.21, Murdered on 8.31 and Shot People on 10.1"
The court refused Tam's application for bail and the next hearing will be held on November 27, 2020. Tam was sent to Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre for further detention.
One day before the court, pro-Beijing channel TVB News had already released information: it was said that Tam from the end of June to August had been disseminating "seditious materials" by running street stations, speaking via loudspeakers, and publishing on social media platforms. These messages included "Down with the Communist Party" and slogans "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our Times", and calling for "sanctions against officials". The pro-Beijing news channel described his behavior as "an attempt to provoke surrounding people."

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.
