Distressed Grandma Wong Longs To Come Back Hong Kong for Medical Treatment

Alexandra Wong, known also as “Grandma Wong”, was an active participant at protests throughout the course of the Anti-extradition Movement since June 2019. She was often seen waving Union Jack. She was last seen on 11 August last year at Tai Koo Station, becoming a victim of police brutality. This was captured on camera. Stand News later received an email from Wong late last November, revealing that she was arrested in Shenzhen and was then brought to Futian Detention Centre on August 14, a place she described as “hell”. She was on bail, but pending trial back then.

Stand News received another email from Wong today (January 9). She wrote in English that she has been release from “a small cage” to “a big cage”. She expressed distress, and her days were filled with tears. She mentioned that she had made a request to seek medical treatment in Hong Kong, and is still waiting.

Lacking prosecution documents, Tsuen Wan explosives case adjourned until March, defendant remanded

Last July, the Police Organized Crime & Triad Bureau raided an industrial flat on Texaco Road, Tsuen Wan, that allegedly held weapons. Iron rods and triacetone triperoxide (TATP) explosives were found and seized. The defendant, a member of the Hong Kong National Front, was charged with making explosives with intent to endanger life or property.

His case was brought to the Eastern Magistrates’ Courts for hearing again on 6 Jan 2020. The prosecution requested to adjourn the case until March 2nd because they were not ready to submit supporting documents to High Court. The judge approved and ordered the defendant, who has already been remanded for 170 days to date, to remain in custody.

LO Yat-sang, 27, was accused of malice and unlawful production of TATP at 20/F, Lung Shing Industrial Building, 142 Texaco Road, Tsuen Wan, on 19 July 2019, with intent to endanger life or property.

During the 3rd arraignment at West Kowloon Magistrates’ Court earlier, the prosecution stated that the police had yet to obtain consent to prosecute from the Department of Justice. They requested to withdraw the original case and then bring it back to court with a new case number. The defendant had been remanded for 93 days at the time.

Lo was initially charged with possession of explosives, bearing a maximum imprisonment penalty of 14 years. The prosecution later amended the charge to the current one which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years.

[Case Number WKCC3992/19]
