Water Cannon Vehicle Dyed the Mosque and Shops

Watch Video
(20 Oct) Jeremy Tam Man-Ho, legislator and member of Civic Party was at the scene, witness the whole process and he filmed the specialised crowd management vehicle (water cannon vehicle) driving down Nathan Road, passing Chungking Mansions and towards the Kowloon #Mosque, then stopping in front of the entrance of the Mosque. Without warnings of dispersing by flags nor broadcasting, the vehicle sprayed blue-dyed water at the Mosque twice, hitting reporters and bystanders, including South-Asians; some were even pushed to the ground by the force of the water cannon. Tam was also sprayed with the water mixed with blue-dyed and irritant and he felt unwell.

Passers-by and South-Asians who were sprayed in the eyes with the blue irritant, needed to be treated by saline for eye washing and mouth rinsing. Onlookers at the site described that after the Mosque was sprayed, it turned into a "Blue Mosque", and everyone "was dyed in blue as well". In addition, children walking pass the Mosque were also sprayed. The first-aid volunteers immediately wash the children's eyes and mouth to alleviate their discomfort. After the specialised crowd management vehicle left the Mosque, staff of the affected Mosque immediately wheeled out hoses to wash away the blue dye, and a number of passers-by also cleaned the Mosque's fences with wet wipes.

In the march on October 20, the Hong Kong police repeatedly fired tear gas to disperse the protesters. The police also deployed water cannon truck and blasted blue-dyed liquid at citizens, reporters, buildings and stores indiscriminately. The Kowloon Masjid and Islamic Centre (Kowloon Mosque) was also hit.

As the riot police and water cannon truck left the scene, tens of protesters in black shirt and citizens initiated to clean up the Mosque and wipe the blue stain away from the accessible area of the structure.

New Evidence: Water Cannon Truck Can Hardly Shoot "By Mistake"

On October 20, police shot blue-dye water cannon at Kowloon Mosque, staining the structure blue and splashed on citizens standing before the Mosque including former chairman of Indian Association of Hong Kong Mohan Chugani, causing them to suffer from irritative effects and burning sensation. Facing complaints and condemns, police stressed that it was a mistake, although video capturing the shot suggests otherwise.

On October 27, another proof surfaced unvalidating the police statement. The video capturing the control panel of the Water Cannon Truck shows
that it is highly difficult to launch a shot "by mistake": The control panel indicates clearly the target and the distance.
