Hong Kong Police Call Victim of Alleged Gang Rape a "Wanted" Fugitive

Here is a rundown of the events that took place throughout this entire process, from the day Ms X lodged her criminal complaint:

-Oct 22, 2019: Ms X Made a Police Report
Represented by Vlder & Co. Solicitors, 18-year-old Ms X filed a police report alleging that she was gang raped and sexually assaulted in Tsuen Wan Police Station on September 27, 2019.

Ms X allowed the taking of a DNA sample from her aborted foetus in order for at least one of the assailants to be identified. The case was handled by the New Territories South Regional Crime Unit.

- November 4, 2019: Police Attempt to Seize Ms X's Private Medical Record
Police obtained warrant to seize Ms X's medical report and surveilance camera footage from the clinic of her private doctor, without Ms X’s knowledge or consent.

Ms X challenged the warrant immediately for its violation of her privacy.

-November 5, 2019: Court Suspends Police Search Warrant
The court granted an anonymity order for Ms X and suspended the search warrant of the police.

- Nov 9, 2019 : Police Reportedly Leak Investigation Information
The police in the process of investigation claimed that there was no sign of rape.

Meanwhile, Ms X's case had been leaked onto the internet, with ‘police sources’ releasing selective details of the investigation and adverse comments on the evidence.

- November 11, 2019: Lawyers Condemn the Police for Lacking Impartiality
Ms X's lawyers accused the police of lacking impartiality and deliberately leaking "supposed details" of the case to diminish the prospects of a successful prosecution.

- January 16, 2020: Police Commissioner Publicly Calls the Gang Rape Case "Fake"
Police Commissioner Chris Tang alleged Ms X's complaint as "fake" and accused Ms X of "misleading police officers or giving a false statement”.

Tang voluntarily spoke about the case in a district council meeting and gave away supposedly confidential information.

- Jan 18, 2020: Lawyers Condemn the Police for Undermining the Criminal Report
Ms X's lawyers issued a statement condemning Tang for publicly discrediting the victim and undermining her criminal complaint.

The police never answered Ms X and her lawyers' inquiry of the status of investigation. For instance, the police refused to answer whether they had received the DNA report from the government laboratory or not.

- April 6, 2020: Case Terminated with Any Explanation to Ms X
The Department of Justice inform lawyers that Ms X’s case will not be taken any further, claiming that her complaint was contrary to the evidences that they obtained. No details were provided about this claim to the lawyers.

- May 12, 2020: Police Commissioner Has Plans to Arrest Ms X
Police Commissioner Chris Tang said that the Department of Justice had instructed the arrest of Ms X for "making a false statement."

Like the previous time, Tang spoke voluntarily about the case after a district council meeting. Tang told the press that Ms X has "fled" Hong Kong.

- May 13, 2020: Justice Denied?
Ms X released a statement via her lawyers condemning the police for their lack of professionalism and doubting the outcome of the so-called investigation.

Whereas the Department of Justice claimed Ms X's testimony did not match with the police report , Ms X was never summoned to explain her case.

While Ms X had been compling and abiding to every process and regulation, she expressed her disappointment and frustration: "I prayed and hoped that the complaint would be investigated impartially, in strict confidence and respect for my privacy and dignity, but none of that happened".

Source: Ms X Fears that Her Safety Would Be Endangered

China-funded newspaper Wen Wui Po on May 13 claimed that Ms X, the gang-rape accuser, went to Taiwan 19 days after she made the report to the police. The newspaper furthered to describe the difference between the police investigative report and Ms X's account.

Afterwards, a source close to Ms X contacted the Stand News. The source said that Ms X left Hong Kong as she was worried about her safety and she did not trust that the police would conduct a proper investigation. Ms X did not "flee" Hong Kong, nor did she know that she has become a "wanted person", when the police commissioner Chris Tang made the claim on May 12.

Ms X through her laywers also stated that she was already not in Hong Kong when Commissioner Tang accused her of "misleading the police" in January.

Hong Kong Police Whitewash Yuen Long 7.21 White-Clad Gangster Attack

On August 26, 2020, the Hong Kong police tried to rewrite the
Yuen Long 7.21 White-Clad Gangster Attack into a "clash between two camps of similar force, where the white-clad people were being provoked first". Police denied the collusion between the Triad and themselves and changed their earlier record of their absence from 39 minutes to 18 minutes, claiming the statement they made in 2019 was "inaccurate".

Let's look at what have been documented in photos, videos, reporters and civilians' testimonies regarding the happenings in Yuen Long on 21 July, 2019, as we know it:

當權者篡改歷史,
是最致命的武器。

以真相守護公義,
謹守黑白是良知。

When bad things use a stick and lies to harm us, can we use a rope and our will to secure the fragile truth?

There is no place to hide in this post-truth world, but we shall carry on.

*Rope and stick are believed to be the oldest tools of mankind.
