【Video】Simon Cheng | A Whistleblower’s Conviction - Never Give Up On Freedom Of Speech

Simon Cheng, 29, is a former employee of the UK Consulate in Hong Kong. In August 2019, he was detained and tortured by Chinese authorities while being accused of inciting pro-democracy protests.

Having been forced to confess to soliciting prostitution, he was released following international pressure and now lives in exile in the UK.

I think art can be a way of healing people, to make people stronger, to empower people and to help them through this difficulty. During this movement, there is new creative art emerging, new songs being released. It all makes me want to create art to promote the spirit within these protests. Hong Kong gives me the most inspiration in my life.
