Since the 2019 Hong Kong anti-correction movement, many times to participate in the pro-democracy demonstrations and waving the British flag after losing contact with the outside world, last October in Shenzhen after “bail pending trial” back to Hong Kong, “Granny Wang” Wang Fengyao, local Time on January 22 night in Hong Kong, Tseung Kwan O, Sheung Tak Estate opposite a light station during a banner, was arrested on suspicion of obstruction.
It is reported that Friday is the one-year and four-month anniversary of the death of 15-year-old Chen Yanlin, who died of unknown causes during the anti-revision movement. On that day, there are Hong Kong people spontaneously silent mourning at the crossroads of Sheung Tak in Tseung Kwan O. Wang Fengyao also went to the scene to raise slogans, and was later arrested by the Hong Kong police for “obstructing police officers in the performance of their duties. The police said that last night about 7 pm, officers patrolling, found a woman in Tseung Kwan O Tong Ming Street, a line of people crossing the road, holding up slogans, obstructing pedestrians crossing. Officers went up to persuade, but she refused to cooperate. Officers then arrested the 64-year-old local woman surnamed Wang on suspicion of “obstructing police officers in the performance of their duties”.
In response, the British human rights organization Hong Kong Monitor issued a statement saying that the arrest of the woman was another violation of democracy and freedom of expression in Hong Kong. The group’s founder, Benedict Rogers, vice chairman of the Conservative Human Rights Committee, said, “It now seems that even a retired person holding a protest sign at a pedestrian crossing is a crime.” Hong Kong Monitor sees the incident as a new low in Hong Kong’s crackdown on pro-democracy activists, calling on the Hong Kong government to release Wang as soon as possible, as well as urging the international community to match words with deeds and sanction officials in China and Hong Kong who crack down on pro-democracy protests.
Wang Fengyao, 64, drew attention for her repeated appearances at demonstrations carrying the British flag during the anti-revision movement last June. When she returned to her Home in Shenzhen after participating in the demonstration at the Huanggang border crossing in the early hours of Aug. 14, she was administratively detained for 30 days by Shenzhen police for “provoking and provoking trouble. According to her, the mainland police allowed her to “post bail” after asking her to write a letter of repentance and make a film, and forcing her to participate in a five-day “patriotic tour” of Shaanxi Province.
