1/ My case will be mentioned Eastern Magistrates Court on tomorrow 2:30pm, the day before China’s decision to approve the arrest of the 12 young activists and its national day.
2/ I am charged with participating in an unauthorized assembly on 5th October last year, and I have violated the draconian anti-mask law, which was later ruled unconstitutional by local courts.
3/ There is a high chance that I will be sentenced to jail. If I am convicted, I can face up to a maximum of 5 years in jail for unauthorized assembly and 1 year for wearing a mask.
4/ Compare to the #12HKYouth, who have no access to lawyers, no access to medication, and chances are they are being tortured inside the black-box judicial system of China with more backwards, draconian laws, I am very fortunate.
5/ My arrest undoubtedly a political prosecution, is clearly designed to intimidate the people of Hong Kong ahead of the October 1 Beijing’s National Day.
6/ If my bail is to be denied, I sincerely hope that the world will keep a close watch on and divert the attention to the 12 young activists and the development of Hong Kong. Pass our devotion on and do as much as you can to stand with HKers. @save12hkyouths #save12hkyouths
