Wall-fare (Chinese: 石牆花) was a major prisoners' rights advocacy group in Hong Kong.[1] It was formed by former pro-democracy legislator Shiu Ka-chun to provide support for jailed activists and promote the well-being of them, by raising funds to provide daily necessities and providing emotional support through a coordinated a letter-writing scheme.
Following attacks from pro-Beijing camp and government ministers for "endangering national security",[2] the organization disbanded in September 2021, ending its nine-month history.[3]
