There are about 10 members in this group.
Lu Yewei pointed out that the police have found that there are more and more crimes related to "sending orders", and reminded the public, especially young people, that once they violate Article 60 of Chapter 200 of the Hong Kong Law "destroying or damaging property", they can be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.
