Global Support For Hong Kong [3/5]

Over the past few days, South Korean Actor Kim Eui-Sung has been speaking up for the people of Hong Kong. Yesterday (Sept 20), he shared on his Facebook page the “721 Yuen Long Nightmare” documentary produced by RTHK Hong Kong Connection with Korean subtitles, hoping to help more Korean people learn about the situation in Hong Kong and spread the news further on the internet. Today, Kim has started to collect photos from netizens with one of their eyes covered, to support the “#Eye4HK
Campaign”. Through this campaign, Kim wants to let Hongkongers know that they are not alone in the anti-extradition bill fight. He also challenges the Chinese government, saying that they should demonstrate a proper attitude being as a big nation instead of creating an unfortunate future for Hong Kong.

3 Months since 721 Yuen Long Terrorist Attack, Police only arrested 34 people and charged 6 of them

It has been three months once the ‘7.21 Yuen Long Terrorist Attack’, in which hundreds of white-lad thugs rushed into the MTR station and indiscriminately beat up citizens while the police has arrested only 34 people up till now.

Apply Daily had reached a ‘white-shirt’ who was arrested but no charge were pressed against him. He admitted to having ‘reinforcements’ near the West Rail on that night, and he leaked that ‘teaching the protestors a lesson’ was the idea of the ‘six villages of Yuen Long’ (Ping Shan, Ha Tsuen, Shap Pat Heung, Pat Heung, Kam Tin and San Tin). However, the development into indiscriminate attacks on citizens was unexpected. Even so he still insisted that the incident is not big deal’ and denied the man caught on camera, wielding a weapon and chasing after citizens is himself.

Audiences teared up during a radio program when discussing the situation in Hong Kong

(25 Nov) There is a phone-in section in a radio program of Hong Kong Commercial Radio in the morning. Various Hong Kong citizens had called to express their views about the election.

1. A 68-year-old man voted for the first time in his life in the District Council Election. The host asked why he voted. He started to cry and said, “My wife and I went to vote because of the protests at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. She teared up when she saw the universities became like battlefields. We, as elders, could not go on the streets and protest. We could not leave this place as well. We could only use our votes [to voice our opinions]. (Tearing up continuously) What are the protesters fighting for? They have sacrificed their lives, dignity and future to fight for our freedom. I need the government to compromise and acquit all protesters.” The host asked him whether he got comfort from the election’s results. He sobbed for a few seconds and answered “Yes.”

2. A 44-year-old man used to be pro-police. After the 21 July incident he had become a yellow ribbon. “There’s no way we can tolerate triad members colluding with the police. The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) voted for the Extradition Bill. So I want to vote them out. Starry Lee Wai-King does not need to resign. Instead, I want her to go down with DAB. But I would like to thank Carrie Lam for uniting all Hongkongers.”

3. A local resident living in a walled village in the northern district revealed that his district councilor has always been the only candidate running for the district council election. This year he’s no longer uncontested, and is challenged by a young candidate who is willing to go into the village and talk to the residents. He and his two pro-democracy sons are going to vote for the younger candidate. “But I’m more worried about the Legislative election next year— it’s going to be unfair and they (the government) will use all means, for instance, vote-rigging. I hope the pro-democratic councilors will figure out what to do about it.”

4. A woman used to vote, but had no particular political stance. The police brutality and tear gas in the past 6 months made her realise that all Hongkongers cannot just focus on themselves. “It is really heart breaking to see how (these people) are treating our young people. I hope the elected District Councillors will demand Carrie Lam to set up an independent commission of inquiry to thoroughly investigate the police brutality that took place on 21 July and 31 August.”

5. An old man said in a sobbing voice that after months of despair, he was willing to line up for an hour to vote for a new candidate whom he did not know at all. “I hate how these people are taking side with the evil. This has to be a victory for the people of Hong Kong. I hope the newly elected District Councillors and the alumni of the Polytechnic University will go and save the kids trapped in PolyU.”

6. A man lived near the waterfront of Yuen Long. He finally managed to see someone who was willing to come challenge the District Councillor who had been uncontested for years. “You beat up the citizens. Then expect them to vote you out. There is zero tolerance to police brutality. An independent commission of inquiry must be established. Five demands, not one less! Glory be…” He was so emotional that he was unable to continue.

Pro-police Supporters Framed Pro-democracy Lawmaker for the Triad Attack on July 21

Editor's Note: Whereas the Yuen Long Station was closed and their emergency hotline refused to answer citizens' calls on 21 July, the police sent representative to receive a letter from the white-clad pro-police supporters. Moreover, on the day of the July 21 attack, it was pro-Beijing lawmaker Junius Ho who was sighted skaking hands with the Triad in Yuen Long.

At around 15:07, pro-police supporters shouted, “Yuen Long would prosper without 7.21 [Triad attack on citizens on July 21], without Lam Cheuk-ting [pro-democracy lawmaker], without the black-clad; Bring them to Court!”

A middle-aged man, participating in the march, said, “Those who go against China and disrupt Hong Kong are all provoked by Lam Cheuk Ting [pro-democracy lawmaker]. Arrest him!”

Another participant with a mainland Chinese accent, meanwhile, kept insisting that she is from Yuen Long.

The marchers arrived at Yuen Long Police Station. Most of them claimed that without Lam Cheuk Ting, there would be no "721 Attack", and they expressed their opinion by giving a letter to the police. A Station Sergeant came out to receive their letter.
