6 Young People Practicing Parkour at Kowloon City Arrested —Spark Alliance Lawyers Following Up with Cases
[Editor's Note: Hong Kong Police has frozen the financial asset of Spark Alliance by accusing them of money laundering. As the police deterred donations with the possibility to bear legal responsibility, the arrestees might very likely be cut off from legal aids. Read: https://publielectoral.lat/guardiansofhongkong/13550]
Kowloon City Oi Man district councilor-elect Jakki Mak expressed that at around 7pm on December 18, 6 young people were stopped and arrested near Oi Man Plaza.
Mak recalled that the six were participating at Hong Kong Parkour Association's free open training session and were only wearing black shirts, not any gear. They were arrested even before the event started.
Hong Kong Free Press gives the following remarks: "Spark Alliance is one of the largest crowd-funded initiatives in support of pro-democracy protesters, with the money going towards living subsidies and covering legal and medical costs. The group is estimated to have collected about HK$80 million in the past six months, police say."

Citizens Protest In Front of HSBC Headquarters and Court of Appeal Against Alleged Political Suppression of Spark Alliance
In response to the police arrest of Spark Alliance members for suspected money laundering yesterday, citizens protested during lunchtime in Central on December 20.
Many sang "May Glory be to Hong Kong" outside the Court of Final Appeal and chanted slogans like "Support Spark Alliance, Protect Our Brothers".
Today, HSBC mentioned on its facebook page that they "never take the decision to close an account lightly" and their action undertaken to close the account of Spark Alliance in November is "unrelated" to the current situation of Hong Kong. (See,
