Hong Kong Pro-democracy Activist #GwynethHo: Don’t let “suffering” retaliate the movement

The following is an excerpt of a #letter written by former journalist and currently detained activist Gwyneth Ho:

"It is human nature to be afraid of prison, but we should not think of imprisonment as a form of suffering imposed by the government to activists, where activists’ freedom is being completely restricted in a passive state.

If we interpret 'suffering' as a passive state, the 'sufferers' will become the 'victims'.

We should not see the experience of suffering as failure or an end to the movement. Otherwise, it will retaliate and wear us down. I hope everyone keeps in mind that the years 2019, 2020 and 2021 go hand in hand and cannot be considered individually. To suffer or the acknowledgement of the risk of suffering has always been a part of the political movement. As long as the state of 'suffering' is not over, our movement goes on."

How Do I Perceive the Position I am in?

Former Stand News journalist and now-detained pro-democracy activist Gwyneth Ho wrote about her thoughts and experience when going through the trial in Hong Kong.

Ho was accused of subverting the state and charged with the #NationalSecurityLaw.

"...When called by the name by Victor SO Wai-tak ... oops it should be 'called by the number' (defendants and prisoners are not named. Hi, this is D33 here~), I was reading a copy of Ming Pao [newspaper] left on the floor by another defendant. I was momentarily absorbed in an article about the '7.21 Mob in white' court case. It wrote that the courtroom was constantly showing the live broadcast, of that day, from 'The Stand News'… (I feel embarrassed just to think about it.)"
