Double standard in law enforcement: Hong Kong citizens vs Pro-Beijing party

The Hong Kong Coalition, headed up by Leung Chun-ying and Tung Chee-hwa, both vice chairpeople of the China's National Committee of CPPCC, set up stalls on the streets to distribute masks to citizens. The coalition claimed they have prepared 4 million child sized masks and 6000 adult sized masks. Hundreds of citizens were seen queuing up for said masks.

Merely days ago, certain unions did the same thing and distributed antiviral supplies in the streets. However, they were met and charged with violating Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulation by the police. They were also ticketed afterwards. The stalls set up by the HKC had a lot more participants but no police presence was in sight.

In Schedule 1 of the Regulation, 13 exemptions were listed. One of which includes “Group gathering held for imparting information or skills, or handling suppliers or items, that are conducive to the prevention and control of the specified disease.”
