Police Allegedly Let White-Clad Gang Insult Pro-dem Lawmakers

Two pro-democracy lawmakers Lam Cheuk-ting and Ted Hui Chi-fung, who were arrested by the police for involving in the pro-democracy protests, were mentioned in the West Kowloon Magistrates on the afternoon of August 27, 2020.

Police turned Lam, a victim of the white-clad gangster attack on July 21, July, from plaintiff to defendant.

Outside of the court, a gang of white-clad people were present. One of them held up his middle finger to interrupt and insult the colleages of Lam and Hui from the Democratic Party who were speaking at the time.

Among the white-clad crowd, some of them had the Chinese flag on their clothes. The white-clad stood right behind the plainclothes and uniformed police. After they kept yelling, the police persuaded them to leave.

In contrast, on August 25, 2020, police arrested 2 citizens for "causing disorder" outside of the West Kowloon Magistrates. The 17-year-old student and the 65-year-old woman arrested were detained by the police overnight. The police also put at least 7 people on the wanted list, accusing them of swearing and gesturing profanity outside of the same court on the previous day.

Since August 24, the West Kowloon Magistrates has been conducting a coroner's inquiry of the death of 15-year-old Chan Yin-lam, who had participated in the pro-democracy protests and was found dead naked in the waters in October 2019. The public cast doubt and concern over the case which the police called it a "suicide" that was "not suspicious". Further skepticism was raised, after the pro-Beijing TV channel TVB broadcast an 'exclusive' interview during primetime with a woman with her face and voice blurred who claimed to be Chan's mother.

In the court, Chan's mother and materal grandfather insisted that Chan was psychologically disturbed. A medical doctor testified that Chan's mother had refused treatment for Chan.
