China's newspaper Peopleās Daily sings praises for IPCC report, saying it removes all injustice against Hong Kong police
(16 May) After 10 months of āinvestigationā, the Hong Kong Independent Police Complains Council (IPCC) released the overview for the anti-extradition law amendment bill (ELAB) protests yesterday (May 16th, 2020). Peopleās Daily, Chinaās official press, stated that the report āaddressed every possible problem with equal importanceā; āthrough strict scientific investigations, all possible suspicions of the police force are raisedā. The article, which was accompanied by a picture with two police officers with the captions āPROTECTORā and ā30,000 FOR 7 MILLIONā on it, also stated that the IPCC report āused plenty of evidence to show that police are the true guardians of Hong Kong since the start of the anti-ELAB incidentsā.
However, what IPCC announced yesterday was a āthematic study reportā instead of an āinvestigation reportā. Anthony Neoh, chairman of the IPCC, highlighted that the IPCC does not have powers for investigation, and the report was based on what the police force claimed. Meanwhile, Carrie Lam, Hong Kong chief executive, strongly rejected establishing an independent investigation council again yesterday.
Peopleās Dailyās article, āWho are the true guardians of Hong Kong?ā, says that the IPCC āinvestigation reportā, using many facts and statistics, recovered the ā6 major truthsā of the anti-ELAB crisis, including the āpolice-triad collusionā on 21 July, 2019 and āpolice murdering innocents in Prince Edward stationā on 31 August, 2019 and proved that these āincidentsā were all rumors. āSuch āinvestigationā cleansed all doubts and injustice against the Hong Kong police and showed that the police force are the true guardians of Hong Kong with plenty of evidenceā, the article says.
The article suggested that aggressive Hong Kong protesters āhas threatened the government with violence by vandalizing infrastructures, paralyzing public order and discretely injuring individualsā; such actions āhave turned Hong Kong into a city of darkness and fear, which could be compared to the damage of World War IIā. āIf the police force did not intervene (with their actions), it would be impossible to think how much damage these rioters would cause to āthe Pearl of the Eastāā. āIn the course of the police force restoring justice, ārioting forcesā have tried to tarnish the police reputation to make way for their violent behaviors by manipulating public opinionsā.
The report also sings praises for the IPCC report, saying that the report ādoes not attempt to dodge or undermine the importance of every problem; through strict scientific investigations, it justified the legality and validity of the police forceā. āAlthough there are some flaws in the police forcesā actionsā, the report says, āthe police force does adhere to regulations in their actions; such minor problems should not be exaggerated by the opposition to harm the police forceās imageā.
