Citizens Protest Against Police-Triad Collusion in the Yuen Long Attacks on July 21

20:03 | Causeway Bay
Someone played a video record of an interview of a police inspector defending their late arrival on 21 July.

In the video, Chief Inspector LI Hon-man defended without shame for their late arrival by replying that police arrived only after received calls. He had not noticed the time because he did not read the watch. He questioned whether the reporters had noticed the chaos. The reporters continued to ask several questions until LI suddenly said “Your actions are not threatening me.”

20:08
A citizen held a cardboard writing “police-triad colluding, never ever obliterating“, and chanted loudly “if you are a true yellow ribbon, do not use MTR services again!”

20:16
Some held their phones with display of the words “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our times”.

20:18
Citizens started writing memos on a Lennon wall.

A Middle-aged Civilian Displays Signs of Agitation at the Police: Basic Social Activity Such As Dining Out Is Prohibited


Earlier in #MongKok, a middle-aged female civilian was noticeably agitated at the police. She persistently shouted at police officers, complaining that citizens were not allowed to anything. Even basic social activity such as dining out was prohibited and associated with risk of being penalised. Despite her shouting, the police on site did not bat an eyelid. Instead, they were seen staring at her in a condescending manner.

Police Dehuhamize Reporters By Calling them 'Cockroaches'

2321 | #PrinceEdward

Police officers created a scene with reporters by hurling insults from their cars, dehumanizing them by loudly calling them "cockroaches".

Reporters quickly followed them and surrounded their cars when they stopped at a red light. A wheelchair-bound reporter parked himself in front of their cars while the other reporters confronted them for their insults.

The officers called in reinforcements around 40 minutes later and demanded the reporters to leave.

Lest We Forget: 8 Months After 831 Attack, Citizens Lay Flowers and Tributes for Casualties

April 30 marks the 8th month since the Aug 31 Prince Edward attacks, when riot police attacked and terrorized passengers at the Prince Edward MTR Station. Despite the pandemic, civilians bravely came out to lay flowers as a tribute to the victims, just right outside of the Prince Edward MTR Station, as they have always been doing over the previous months.

Police moved their cordon lines 2-3 meters farther out than before, and over 40 officers were standing by on scene. Councilors from Yau Tsim Mong District were tending to the flowers and tributes. Plans have been made for them to bring these flowers and tributes to the Sandy Ridge Cemetery tomorrow, where over 200 missing protesters were presumed to be anonymously buried.

A councilor commented that these flowers were not just meant for those who have perished on the night of Aug 31, but they were for all the victims who have laid their lives down for the cause throughout the anti-ELAB movement. This includes people who have suffered from the senseless violence by the police, and all the victims of the injustice that has traumatized this city.

The Sixth Month Chow Tsz-lok’s Death: HKUST Bans Memorial Service due to Social Distancing Rule; Civilians Pay Tribute to Chow In Various Locations

Part 1:
https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/20380

On 8 Nov 2019, 22-year-old university student Chow Tsz-Lok fell from Sheung Tak Car Park, alleged an aftermath of police brutality.

Student Union of Chow’s school, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (“HKUST”) had initially organised a memorial ceremony on 8 May 2020 which marks the 6th month of his death.

However, the university sent an email to all students and teachers today, warning that any event held within the school’s compound violating social distancing rule is illegal. The school will report to the relevant government department and penalise students and teachers flouting the rule. Moreover, the school also broadcasted warnings over the public announcement system on the social distancing rule in Cantonese, English and Mandarin. Hence, students who had initially intended to pay tribute to Chow were unable to stay for long.

Large groups of citizens also paid tribute to him in various other locations, such as Tseung Kwan O, Yuen Long and Mongkok.

Today marks the sixth month anniversary of his death. His loss still cuts deep in the hearts of many of us. We yearn for justice to be done and truth to be revealed. We will never forgive and never forget. We need to press for the truth!
