#LukedePulford: UK's Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal to 'Prosecute' Beijing Loyalist #JuniusHo and Remove him from the UK Solicitors Register
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (#SRA), a licensing body that regulates solicitors in England and Wales, has taken action and scheduled a hearing of Junius Ho's case in the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal.
With the latest news from SRA, Hong Kong Watch's fellow Luke de Pulford commented that "people who spout hate, incite violence and encourage authoritarianism have no place practising law in the UK."
In October 2019, Anglia Ruskin University (#ARU) in the UK has revoked Ho's honorary degree citing Ho's conduct and public behaviour as a concern. This came after Ho's alleged connection with the white-clad assailants in Yuen Long 7.21 triad attack on train passengers, reporters and pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong in 2019.

Police Charge 10 Hong Kong students for Forming Human Chain in Support of the Anti-ELAB Movement One Year Later
A year ago on September 7, citizens in Hong Kong built a long human chain around Tai Po Market train station, exhibiting solidarity against and defiance of police brutality, among them, many were students in school uniform.
As riot police stormed onto the scene, fired tear gas, the peaceful crowd of pro-democracy protesters was forced to disperse. More than 20 protesters were arrested during the clash on that day.
A year later, HK police charged 11 of them for attending an illegal assembly. Their age ranges from 15 to 49. 10 of them are students and the remaining one is the father of one of the students.

Photos of Hong Kong Pro-democracy Movement Won Half of the Prizes from “Taiwan Press Photographer Competition 2020”
Prizewinning photographs from the “Taiwan Press Photographer Competition 2020” are displayed at the General Association of Chinese Culture (#GACC) from September 24, 2020 and onwards.
Almost half of 123 award-winning photographs are about the anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong, reflecting the extraordinary connections between Taiwan and Hong Kong.
With this exhibition, the organiser hopes that visitors can experience the five senses emitted from these photos and feel the concerns they have and the values they defend:
"Time passes, but the photographs capture the moment. The message can be sent to you via photos and stay in your mind. Please don’t forget that people have paid a high cost for freedom."
