Editor note: Prohibiting the press from getting into close proximity while the riot police conduct their stop and search has been a commonly employed tactic. It is a deliberate action by the police, to show that in situations like these, they have the upper hand, and they are the most powerful. The freedom of press in Hong Kong has clearly decomposed, due to such actions by the Hong Kong Police Force.

Hong Kong Police Force: Only Reasonable Force would be Applied and False Accusations are Ridiculous

The police stressed that the planclothes police would apply reasonable force to control suspects and they would also indicate their identity during arrests. They condemned people with “ulterior motives” for releasing false information to discredit the police. They also criticised the accusations of young people “being disappeared” or “being suicided” are ridiculous. The police reiterated that they are a force enforcement agent, not criminals.

The police said that on Feb 19, dozens of demonstrators participated in an unlawful assembly and blocked the interaction of Po Hong Road and Tong Ming Street in Tseung Kwan O. The demonstrators were fleeting the scene and the special force unit immediately got out of the car and successfully intercepted a 24 year old local man and arrested him for unlawful assembly.
