Imprisoned Activists Support Fund (IASF)
13 activists who protested against the North East New Territories Development and the 3 activists who "stormed" the government HQ Civic Square was re-sentenced to 6-13 months of imprisonment due to the sentence review by Justice Department.
Imprisoned Activists Support Fund (IASF) was founded to support their financial need and litigation cost of these 16 activists while they are imprisoned and to fulfill our civil social responsibility towards them. Margaret Ng Ngoi-yee, HUI Po-keung, Andrew To Yiu-ming and Denise Ho Wan-see are the trustees of IASF and the sole decision makers for matters relating to the fund, IASF is independent from any organizations and political parties.
To support the 16 imprisoned activists, IASF intends to raise HK$4 million from the public, which will be used for：
- a fixed $10,000 monthly allowance for each imprisoned applicant while serving the sentence
- buying basic necessities for the imprisoned applicants and travelling expenses for prison visits
- Related litigation costs incurred after imprisonment
- Operating expenditure of the Fund such as audit fee and salary
IASF does not accept any conditional donations, and will announce the amount and identity of the donor if donations over HK$100,000 was received and the identity of donor was made known to the Trustees. IASF has set up a secretariat to assist the day to day administrative work and has entrusted The Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions to set up a dedicated bank account to receive donations and to disburse payments.
The HK$2.53 million raised on 20th August in the demonstration organized by the “North East Support Group”, “League of Social Democrats”, “Demosistō” and “Students Fight For Democracy” was donated to IASF as the startup donation. We thank Hong Kong residents for their support.
