Mr. Lo who had been a nurse for over 10 years said he is enraged by the police hindering medical rescue at Prince Edward Station on 31st August. “This is not just a humanitarian standpoint. Medical staff will help all patients no matter who they are, but the police continue to use excessive force. They lock the protester’s neck and step on their head, they had blood all over their faces but the police kept on pushing them down on the ground. Why do the police have to take their anger out like that? There’s a reason why people are criticizing you.” Mr. Lo believes this movement cannot be solved without an Independent Investigation Inquiry.
Dr. Su thinks the police locking down Prince Edward Station and blocked the injured from leaving was “extremely imperfect, extremely unacceptable” because no matter the person is injured or arrested, they have the right to be treated as soon as possible whenever needed. He emphasised that the injury will only worse if ignored. Law enforcement should not purposely delay someone’s treatment because they have to be arrested.

South Korean ruling party legislator: I don’t care what China thinks, I support the people of Hong Kong!
Although South Korean President Moon Jae-in has not stated his stance on Hong Kong’s protests, a legislator of his ruling Democratic Party made an unprecedented statement today on Hong Kong’s resistance to the national security law, saying that he stands with the people of Hong Kong and says no to the new law – he is Park Yong-jin.
In an exclusive interview with Chosun (a Korean media), Democratic Party legislator Park Yong-jin expressed his views on the issue of democracy and human rights in Hong Kong – “We can’t only care about what China thinks, Hongkongers should be able to enjoy basic human rights and a democratic system. Although it is difficult for the Korean government to formally state its view on the democratization of Hong Kong, I have decided to show my support after hearing some Hongkongers saying that they want to learn from South Korean’s fight for democracy.”
Another reason that drove Park to state his position had to do with what happened to Koreans in the past. “In the 1980s, the late former President Kim Dae-jung, a major political figure of the opposition party in Korea, was once sentenced to death under Chun Doo-hwan’s dictatorship. At that time, the international community made great efforts to save Kim Dae-jung. The prime ministers of Sweden, Austria, and other countries repeatedly voiced their support for the former president, which led to success in the end. Their contributions should not be ignored.”
In fact, this is not the first time that Park has voiced out on Hong Kong’s issue. During the anti-extradition movement last year, he made his intention clear to journalists, saying that he hopes monitor the situation in Hong Kong as a member of the international community, so that China would reduce its crackdown on Hong Kong. “Human rights are universal values affirmed by the United Nations. As a ruling party, we should not hesitate when speaking out for human rights and democracy. During the democratization of South Korea, countries such as the United States, Europe and Japan made many contributions to us. Of course, people like Park Chung-hee and Chun Doo-hwan expressed their discontent at that time, questioning why foreign countries would interfere in South Korea's internal affairs. I believe that it was only because of these foreign interferences monitoring the situation, the suppression towards South Korea’s fight for democracy was lessened. I hope it is the same for Hong Kong...”
So far, apart from Park Yong-jin, Ryo Ho-jeong, a legislator from South Korea’s Justice Party, has expressed her support for Hong Kong’s movement.
