Liu Jiadong, a registered social worker, was accused of obstructing his job and was convicted by the court of immediate imprisonment for one year. He was denied bail pending appeal. The Hong Kong Federation of Social Workers (Society General) believes that the punishment was too heavy. From 7:30 pm today (22nd), a solidarity campaign was launched outside the Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre to share the latest situation of Liu Jiadong and to foresee the social worker's resistance. They will also raise the "Social Worker Registration Certificate" to Tian at 8 pm to show their support for the arrested social worker. [20:08] The police set up a blockade on the footpath, asking reporters to interview in the interview area. About a hundred people gathered on the opposite road, chanting slogans constantly. [19:50] The members of the Renaissance Movement said that the court’s judgment was serious, and Jiadong could not have imagined it. He pointed out that social workers carried out humanitarian support work on the day of the incident and criticized the court for ignoring the principles of social workers' protection of justice and protection of the weak. Some people who participated in the rally dispersed at the scene, and the police once raised the blue flag. [19:48] The police warned on the opposite footpath, saying that the event tonight was an unauthorized assembly and asked people to leave. The head of the society said that today is a streamlined activity, gathering people can move, and that everyone measures their own risk. [19:39] The general manager said that Liu Jiadong had not expected to go to prison. He hoped that the appeal will be successful tomorrow so that he can explain the incident to his family. [19:30] About 80 people gathered at the scene.
