11.11: One year after Police Shooting Pro-democracy Students in Sai Wan Ho


On Nov 11, 2019, Hong Kong citizens launched "three strikes" during the Anti-ELAB Protests. Road blockage occurred in many districts.

At 7am that day, a traffic police officer fired live rounds at two unarmed youths, who were wearing black, at close range, causing critical injuries. The incident brought to a citywide discontent toward the police brutality.

Moving on to the one-year mark of the police shooting, citizens sprayed graffiti at the scene of incident.

Phrases like "ideas are bulletproof" could be seen at the neighbouring footbridge.

The 21-year-old wounded student has been charged for obstructing or resisting a police officer, attempted robbery and escaping from legal custody.

Former legislator Ted Hui Chi-fung tried conducting private prosecution against the police officer who shot the student with live round. However, the Department of Justice intervened and ordered to withdraw the prosecution.
