Tear Gas Shot Indoors Despite Manufacturer's Guidelines

#18Nov | Windsor Mansions, Austin Road.

#28Oct | Yat Sang House, #TuenMun.

#12Aug | outside #TaiKoo #MTR.

#11Aug | inside #KwaiFong MTR.

These locations have all experienced tear gas indoors. Some even received direct hits from tear gas canisters fired directly into the indoor area.

Clear warnings labels have been printed on the suppliers' product specifications, as well as on the tear gas canisters itself, reminding users not to release tear gas indoors. Repeated warnings from toxicologists and United Nations experts have all gone unheeded by the Hong Kong Police, who deployed these weapons against its intended purpose and protocol again and again, on at least seven separate occasions.

"For Hong Kong it is five minutes to midnight," activists urge Canada to act quickly for Hong Kong

Activists and human rights groups fighting for freedom in Hong Kong told Canadian MPs in a special committee on Canada-China relations that there is only a "short window to act" before basic freedoms in Hong Kong completely disappeared. They urged Canada to sanction officials in China and Hong Kong responsible for human rights abuses and to offer help and permanent residence to those at risk of political persecution.

“For Hong Kong it’s five minutes to midnight. We hope the Canadian government will play its part and have the courage to enact sanctions,” Aileen Calverley, co-founder of Hong Kong Watch, told the MPs.
