Carrie Lam after Reading Police Review Report: Will Seek Ways to Monitor News

Image

The governmet-backed Independent Police Complaints Council (IPCC) released the police review report on May 15. Chief Executive Carrie Lam claimed that she spent ten hours reading it and thought the report was "comprehensive, objective, and extremely dense", causing her sadness.

The report said that the police had "good reason" to "communicate" with the white clad gang in Nam Bin Wai during the 7.21 Yuen Long incident and instructed them to leave, indicating that there was no collusion between the two parties.

The report also agreed that the police's blockade of the Prince Edward station on August 31 was "practical and feasible". The report condemned the saying that someone was killed in the incident as "malicious speculation" and "extraordinary claims".

Soon after the relesse of the report, Lam held a press conference in the Government Headquarters. Instead of the usual picture of Victoria Harbour, the backdrop was changed to photos of the protests. The scenes selected to display include demonstrators breaking into the Legislative Council Chamber, burning debris and smearing police stations. The title of Lam's press conference is "The Truth about Hong Kong".

During her speech, Lam criticized the artworks in honor of the Movement, as well as the speculation and compilation of rumors and fake news online. She agreed with the report that on August 31, the police murdering people at the Prince Edward Station is an "unusual proposition". Lam reiterated that the authorities will seriously investigate and manage such speeches in the future.

When asked whether the report affirmed the professionalism of the Police Force and helped calm the public's indignation, Lam pointed out that the police force is undoubtedly professional and emphasized that the Force does not have a political role.

Some reporters pointed out that the police did not perform well in many instances, including talking with white-clad gang, launching tear gas inside MTR stations, and expeling reporters from Prince Edward station.

Lam stated that she could not make any comment on the law enforcement situation, and called on reporters to "honestly" discuss the situation with the police: "Isn’t having operation standards good enough?"

What did the IPCC report tell us about the Yuen Long incident on July 21 2019?

When citizens were attacked by white-clad gangsters in Yuen Long on July 21, 2019, many victims and witnesses of the brutality condemned the police for turning a blind eye. Not only that the police station was shut early, but the police hotline was also not answered.

Watch video here.

The police watchdog's report, however, blamed the influx of phone calls to the police hotline as “irresponsible and damaging, an apparent attempt to paralyses the Emergency Communications Center”
