Parent Concerned about Students' Safety, " I Hope my Daughters would not be Crippled or even Die"
A single parent who has two daughter currently trapped inside PolyU is interviewed by Apple Daily. She has already contacted the Kowloon Masjid and Islamic Centre for help. She also calls for other parents to stand up as well to resue their children in peaceful ways. The parent also expressed that she would not mind if her daughters are going have a criminal record. She is more worried if they could come out safe, since she has no idea if they are safe inside the campus at the moment.

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 #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.

Detainees On Hunger Strike for 178 Days to Protest Against the HK Authorities' Inhumane Treatment
In Hong Kong, ever since June 2020, the detainees at the Castle Peak Bay Immigration Centre (#CIC) have been going on hinger strike, protesting the Center’s inhumane treatment, arbitrary detention, poor hygienic condition and failure to provide suitable medical treatment.
The Centre run by the Hong Kong government detains those subject to deportation.
According to the CIC Concern group, on Dec 23, 2020 the court rejected to grant a writ of Habeas Corpus to a 41-year-old Pakistani detainee Ahmed Sani Salman who has entered the 178th day of his hunger strike.
In an open letter, Salman revealed that he has already lost 31kg of hisbody weight, leading to heart disease, organ failure and muscle problems.
The concern group on Dec 26, 2020 said the three remaining hunger strikers have started take in food after they decided to file an appeal to the court.
Still, because of their depleting health they will need to stay in the ward for a week before returning to the regular cells.
At first, there were 28 detainees taking part in the hunger strike, but many had to stop because of poor health.
Among the last three, Shah apologized, “178 days is really too long. I am sorry that we have to stop, but please continue to support is.”
The CIC Concern Group supports the decision, saying they are still on the road to fight for freedom, and urging more public awareness and support.
