Avery Ng
In the 2012 Legislative Council election, he surrendered his Australian and New Zealand citizenships in order to run in the Hong Kong Island constituency.In 2016, he had disclosed to broadcaster RTHK and on social media that Betty Fung Ching Suk-yee, Permanent Secretary of the Home Affairs Bureau was the subject of an investigation by the Independent Commission Against Corruption.In December 2019, a High Court judge severely criticized Ng for what she said were his "shameless" attempts at dragging out his appeal against the jail sentence.According to the police statement, his arrest was based on suspicion of organizing, publicizing or taking part in several unauthorized assemblies between August and October 2019 during the anti-extradition bill protests.Ng accused the judicial system of persecution and argued that the justice in Hong Kong had been "weaponized" to target pro-democracy figures.
