Since March 2021, #LesterShum has basically lost his freedom, being one of the 41 pro-democracy politicians prosecuted under the #nationalsecuritylaw and subsequently detained. But that was by no means the only arbitrary charge #CCP pressed on him, he was also accused of "unauthorized assembly" for lighting a candle to commemorate the massacred students in 1989's #TiananmenMassacre. His "guilty" verdict has finally come through earlier this month, joining the ranks of many a political prisoner in #HongKong. He writes very often to the public and his constituent though, it is heartening and sad at the same time, seeing that he has retained his sardonic humour even under such grim circumstances. Please have a read of the excerpts of one of his many letters.

Last week, #ChowHangtung has been arrested again for "inciting subversion", a made-up crime often used to persecute activists in #China, but used the first time in #HongKong. It's supposed to generate much greater noise in a normal universe, but sadly, in reality, we can barely keep up with the absurd oppression happening every day.

This letter dates back to July 2021, when she was arrested and detained for a much less "serious" charge - "inciting unauthorized assembly" (what even does that mean? freedom of assembly is a human right). She wrote about activism in a heavily cracked down Hong Kong, and how, despite knowing the difficulty, she kept applying for bail every 8 days to make a statement, that she is not kowtowing to #CCP. She's now detained under the sham "#nationalsecuritylaw" and once again denied bail.
