CCTV says Lai Chi-ying‘s return to scabbard is “a pleasant blessing for the New Year”.
New Year’s Eve is supposed to be a Time of reunion for the Chinese community, but nearly 200 people were sentenced to prison for the “anti-Sino” incident in Hong Kong, and more than 100 others are still in scabbard awaiting trial, unable to reunite with their families. Lee Cheuk-yan, who is charged with multiple offences, said that every day when he opens the newspaper, he reads that “hands and feet” have been imprisoned, and it is difficult to have a happy New Year in the days of liquidation.

More than 50 democratic primary candidates and related people reported to different police stations on Wednesday (10), and some of them were once worried about having to return to scabbard for New Year’s Eve, and had an early dinner with their families. The case is being released on bail Zou Jiacheng, earlier on his birthday, then suddenly arrested by the police for rioting, so he missed the birthday celebration with his Family. On Wednesday, together with Zou Jiacheng, finally more than 50 people were all allowed to continue bail. The company’s main focus is on the development of a new product that will be available to the public.
However, One Media Hong Kong founder Lai Chi-ying, former Democratic Party chairman Wu Chi-wai, former Hong Kong Citizens’ Party chairman Wong Chi-fung, Chow Ting, Lam Long-yin and People Power’s Tam Tak-chi are among the pro-democracy figures who will have to spend the Chinese New Year behind bars this year. The mainland official media “CCTV” has even criticized the Court of Final Appeal’s decision to revoke Lai Chi-ying’s bail as “a pleasant New Year’s wish”.
Luo Jianxi: Hu Zhiwei is still in good spirits
In the case of Hu Zhiwei, who is suspected of inciting others to participate in the July 1 march, his bail was revoked for failing to surrender his BNO passport, in violation of his bail conditions, and he has been detained in Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre for one month. The Democratic Party Chairman Luo Jianxi visited Wu Zhiwei at Lai Chi Kok Detention Centre on Thursday (11), and then told the station that Wu Zhiwei is still in good spirits, and he is concerned about the development of party affairs, etc. It is said that during the New Year, the meals at the detention centre will be better, such as a meal with chicken thighs. He also expects that there will be a bigger crackdown in the future, and calls on everyone to pay more attention to the arrested people under the outdated holiday.
The future for a long time will be a more difficult time for the democrats how strong that crackdown is, I think we have not seen the most vigorous crackdown, not out of the best. I think what we can do now is to try to protect ourselves and prepare together with the people of Hong Kong, if the future more high-pressure days, we still have what methods to deal with it? This should always be ready.
Lee Cheuk-yan, who was charged with nine crimes, said it was difficult to have a happy New Year under the liquidation
Although Lee Cheuk-yan, the chairman of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China (HKASPDMC), is still free on bail, he said in an interview with the station that he is very sad to see that the democrats around him, such as Jace, are accused of incitement to commit an act of intent for making statements; and Lai Chi-ying is not free on bail. Every day when I open the newspaper, I see that there are “hands and feet” imprisoned, in the days of liquidation, it is difficult to be happy in the New Year.
Lee Cheuk-yan said: we say reunion, in fact, they are not reunited. Of course not only Hong Kong, Hong Kong mainland are full of these stories of separation, democratic comrades, I feel very sad.
Lee Cheuk-yan, who has been concerned about human rights activists on the mainland in the past, also lamented that he used to hope that Hong Kong could change the mainland, but now it has just become a replica of the mainland.
Lee Cheuk-yan said: In fact, we used to feel that we could do more to support people in mainland China and hope that they would succeed in fighting for democracy. We always did not want Hong Kong to become a replica, but it is sad to see that in the end it is not Hong Kong that changes the mainland, but the Chinese Communist Party that forcefully carries out full governing power and transfers its dictatorship to Hong Kong.
According to the latest police figures, as of December last year, 10,200 people have been arrested in Hong Kong in the “anti-China sending” campaign, of which 2,450 have been prosecuted. Of those, more than 940 have completed judicial proceedings and more than 190 have been sentenced to prison. According to Shao Jiazhen, the founder of the prison rights organization “Stonewall Flowers,” the number of people awaiting trial for the “anti-sending” incident is estimated to be over 100.
