Female Journalist Lost Consciousness After Being Pepper Sprayed
23:51 | #MongKok
Riot police dispersed the crowd, including press close to midnight. A female journalist was pepper-sprayed and shoved violently by the police. She fell down and lost her consciousness. Volunteer first-aiders on site tried to revive her by slapping her face, to no avail.
Some civilians at the scene shouted: “Don’t fall asleep! You can make it through!”
Since the start of the anti-extradition movement, journalists and volunteer first-aiders have been risking their lives to serve the public, while constantly being huge target boards to the police. Over the months, numerous first-aiders and members of the press have gotten injured, arrested, beaten and harassed by the police.

Editor's Note:
The above mentioned journalist was not the only one who fainted tonight after being pepper-sprayed.
Although this has not been confirmed, it is suspected that “unknown chemicals” were added to their usual pepper-spray concoction by the police. Pepper-spray causing people to lose consciousness is unheard of.

Riot police accused of destroying Chow Tsz-lok’s altar
Chow Tsz- Lok, 22-year-old student, fell from height in the car park at Sheung Tak Estate, Tseung Kwan O, during a police dispersing action in the early morning of Nov 4 2019, and passed away on Nov 8. 4 months have passed since the accident, but some citizens still set up an altar on the ground and 2nd floor of the car park to pay their tribute.
On 28 Feb night, netizens reported on an online forum that a group of riot police destroyed the altars at about 2300. When reporters of the Stand News arrived at the scene, the altars were turned into a mess, with paper cranes, memo stickers and miscellaneous items scattered on the ground. No conclusion could be made on the identity of the destroyer.

Pepper Spray at Close-Range; Riot Police Ignores Fallen Woman
Feb 29 marks the sixth month after the 831 Attack. Citizens gathered in Mongkok to pay tribute to the casualties, and protest against police brutality. However, police's violence escalated into indiscriminate use of weapons towards citizens.
At around 2315, one mid-age woman, apparently a passer-by, was pepper-sprayed in close range. She fell down, but riot police ran by ignoring her.
Reporters were pepper-sprayed as well- just as police's usual "friendly" behavior towards the press. From the photo above, it is clearly seen that they were sprayed deliberately, even their cameras could not escape from that.

Arbitrary Arrests and Excessive Use of Weapons at Late Night
During the clash on 29 Feb in Mongkok, at about 12am, police had arrested about 30-40 citizens, including those who were wearing reflective vests and volunteer first-aiders who had the word "First Aid" tagged on their helmets. Some arrestees had their hands tied with cable ties. Police vehicles were also deployed to prevent reporters from shooting videos from the other side of the road.
At about 1.15 am, the police fired pepper balls towards reporters. Some of the shots hit the stores close by, and the irritating contents inside the bullets were projected onto the doors.

The Lone Soldier
It has been 6 months since the police attacked civilians and passengers indiscriminately on 31 August 2019.
On February 29, a man dressed in black stood outside Langham Place, holding up a placard that read “Never forget 831 Prince Edward Station, Tonight at 8pm, Be there or be square”.
The man expressed the urgency of actions, “If we don’t come out now, we will be the next to fall. We cannot stop.”
The man had been standing at the same spot since 1pm. Placed by his side were drinks given to him by passersby. He hoped that citizens will not forget what happened on 31 August 2019 and that they will pay their respects to fallen comrades and victims of police violence outside the Prince Edward Station.
