Despite Under No. 3 Typhoon Signal, Lone Man Insists on Remembering 8.31 Terrorist Attack at Prince Edward Station

21:45 | Prince Edward
On August 31, 2019, police stormed in the Prince Edward MTR station, pepperspraying and hitting tens of train passengers with batons inside the train and on the concourse. As the police swept away journalists and first aiders from the station, rumour had it say deaths had been covered up. The terror remained in the memory of the population after 11 months.

Every month, civilians in Hong Kong commemorate the victims of police brutality outside of the station, despite increasingly strong police presence.

Nathan Law: "I hope, too, that all of you can stand strong to resist the white terror rather than succumb to self-censorship"

This is the full version Nathan Law published on Facebook:

//Like all of you, I found out that I — along with five other Hong Kongers currently overseas — am on the wanted list for having violated the NSL from news reports. I have no idea what is my “crime” and I don’t think that’s even important. These are trumped-up charges. Perhaps, in the end, the answer is that I love Hong Kong too much.

Since 2014 I have experienced a lot of ups and downs: from student leader to a Legislative Council member, and from a prisoner to an international advocate, I have not for a moment betrayed Hong Kongers’ values and democratic aspirations. I’d be dishonest if I said I could’ve imagined six years ago that, by the time of Hong Kong’s complete destruction under Chinese control in 2020, I’d be so far gone, truly not knowing when I could return home.

I was prepared when I left Hong Kong to be in exile; but this becoming a reality still disappoints, incapacitates, and frightens me. Indeed who can enjoy freedom from fear in the face of China’s powerful political machine? What we can choose is how to respond to this fear: For me, it’s with action.

I’ve always advocated for freedom and democracy in Hong Kong, for sanctions by foreign governments against Chinese and Hong Kong officials who stifle human rights, for an active international response to concentration camps in Xinjiang and the collapse of Hong Kong’s autonomy.

The arrests, the disqualifications, the wanted bulletins — these are indications of our need to remain active on the global stage. That Hong Kong has no place for even such moderate views like ours underscores the absurdity of Chinese Communist rule. I really love Hong Kong: its terrain, its culture, its vibe. But what I most love are Hong Kongers’ values and the future of its every inhabitant. What I now face is far greater than my own gains and losses. The price of displacement is what I’m willing to pay.

My social media will remain active. I hope, too, that all of you can stand strong to resist the white terror rather than succumb to self-censorship. At the same time, I hereby reiterate: My advocacy work overseas is conducted in my own personal capacity, without any collaboration with others. Since leaving Hong Kong, I have also stopped contacting members of my family. From now on I’ll sever my relationship with them.

I will also try my best to protect my safety. Please don’t worry about me. I still have faith in the future.//
