Protesters' Fund Set To End Operations

A fund offering support for protesters who are arrested or injured announced on Wednesday that it will cease operations.

The 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund was formed days after the anti-extradition protests broke out in June 2019.

A statement by the fund says the Alliance for True Democracy has been handling the money on its behalf, but since the alliance will soon be defunct, the fund has also made plans to shut down "in an orderly manner".

The fund stressed its accounts are working as normal at the moment, and its assets have not been frozen.

Several newspapers, including Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po, have published editorials in recent months demanding that the police investigate whether there was anything illegal with the fund.
