Police continue to abuse powers while citizens remember the deceased of the pro-democracy movement
Police intervened memorial gathering on Febrary 8 and arrested many citizens including 5 district councilors from Sai Kung.
The day February 8 marked 3 months after the passing of Alex Chow, a student in his early 20s who had been in coma after falling from height at Sheung Tak carpark during police operation. The actual cause of his death remains unknown.
Hundreds of citizens gathered at the parking lot in Tsuen Kwun O, where Chow fell to his death to pay their respects. Some also took the opportunity to protest against the government for setting up a quarantine facility in the area without seeking consent from the residents.
The Sai Kung district council held a press conference the following day condemning the abuse of powers form the police. These included wrongful arrest, obstructing the District Council's watchdog team , assaulting reporters and even inflicting sexual assaults.
Valarie Wong, one of the district councillors arrested at the scene, was groped in her chest by a male police officer. She then showed her ID to the officers on site and demanded the identity of the perpetrator.
Not only did the police refuse to provide her with the information she requested, the unit of the concerned officer was immediatelt called away; whereas Wong was then arrested.
After Wong was brought to the police station with other arrestees, she was separated from others and received verbal abuse from police officers who were in the same unit as the one who groped her.
Chan Wai-lit, another district councillor arrested, was beaten by the police with batons. Chan was also pinned to the ground and pressed down on his neck by an officer's knee. He was then continuously insulted and abused verbally along with his fellow councilors and citizens.
Worse still, another outrageous incident took place when a group of plain clothed officers drove a car directly into a crowd of citizens. The plainclothes then started attacking violently civilians with batons and pepper spray.
Ryan Lee, another district councillor at the scene got violated by the pepper spray, while his female assistant was hit by a teargas cannister and knocked to the ground.
Another member of the district council's watchdog team, Edmond Tse, was also hit in the stomach by the police’s pepper balls. He was wearing his orange uniform at the time and was receiving verbal insults form the police right before he was shot.
Neither press nor the district council could film freely. Councilman Lui Man Kwong was blinded by the police’s flashlight and pushed against the walls after the officers saw him filming. Reporters went through similar treatment, including being bashed by the police with shields.

Hong Kong Police Verbally, Physically and Sexually Abuse Reporter: Threat of Gang Rape After Arrest
On 9 February at around 2am, Hong Kong police arrested a reporter from the City Broadcasting Channel (CBC) on the suspicion of theft. The reporter remained in police custody for 24 hours. In those 24 hours before he could be released on bail, he was exposed to repeated threats and was sexually harassed by police officers.
Police arrested the reporter in Tseung Kwan O while he was covering the conflict there. The reporter was hit by pepper spray from the police. As he attempted to clean the residue of the spray, an agitated police officer pointed at the reporter, exclaiming "this was the guy who was obstructing me, arrest him!”
CBC made a public announcement to denounce the violent and inappropriate actions of the police that night. CBC emphasised that their reporter was attacked despite carrying a press pass and wearing his reflective vest which clearly indicated the victim’s identity as a reporter.
Furthermore, before being arrested, the reporter did not obstruct the police while performing their duties in any way. Yet, the police still arrested the reporter and swote at him, branding him as a “corrupt reporter" during the arrest. These actions are not only extremely disrespectful to professional reporters, it is also a clear violation to the freedom of the press under the Basic Law.
In addition, while transporting the reporter to the police station, the policemen on board verbally abused and sexually harassed the reporter repeatedly. The policemen even went as far as calling the reporter “A damned gay cxxt” and threatened to gang rape the reporter multiple times.
These remarks are in clear violation of Section 2(5) of the Sex Discrimination Ordinance (Cap. 480, LHK), which states that a person (howsoever described) sexually harasses a woman if
(a) the person
(i) makes an unwelcome sexual advance, or an unwelcome request for sexual favours, to her; or
(ii) engages in other unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature in relation to her,
in circumstances in which a reasonable person, having regard to all the circumstances, would have anticipated that she would be offended, humiliated or intimidated; or
(b) the person, alone or together with other persons, engages in conduct of a sexual nature which creates a hostile or intimidating environment for her."
Although the CBC reporter is male, it is worth noting that the ordinance covers sexual harassment of both men and women, and the above definition shall have effect regarding sexual harassment of men with such modifications as are necessary. (Section 2(8) of the Ordinance).
The Police's abuse of power and threats made against the CBC journalist showed the utter lack of respect the Hong Kong Police Force have for the arrested.
Furthermore, according to Chapter 39-05 of the Police General Orders, all officers at the scene of an incident shall:-
(a) facilitate the work of the news media as much as possible and accord media representatives consideration and courtesy; and
(b) not block camera lenses.
This proves that the actions of the officers involved in this incident are not only illegal, but also breached the police general orders, which is a set of rules that the police must follow before exercising their powers in public in order to protect the interests of Hong Kong people.
This incident is just one of many where the police have been suspected of using excessive violence and abusing their power and authority while handling protests and other related events.

Police Video-Tape and Demand Female Passenger to Take Dress Off, Victim was Asked to Pay 50-100 thousands for “Pixelation Fee”
In recent years, the Police Force has purchased thousands of body-worn and hand-held cameras for frontline officers to record the law enforcement process. Last year during AntiELAB protests, they were also a “great tool” in collecting evidence.
On #Oct6 last year, the second day after the Anti-mask law was in effect, large scale protests took place in multiple districts. The police started searching bus passengers since the evening to arrest the fugitives. Ms. Chan, who was on her way home, was requested by the police to alight for a search. She stated that a female police officer conducted a full-body search on her without reasonable doubt and evidence. She was demanded to take off her white one-piece dress and be video-taped with only her black underwear on, in front of the public and a group of male officers. On the next day, she filed a complaint to the Complaint Against Police Office, but waited for 6 months for a reply.
According to the news report by RTHK, Ms. Chan applied to retrieve the video involving her personal data by citing the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, but the police rejected her application by saying that the video contained information of others. Chan told the Deputy Inspector that she could accept a “pixelated” version of the video, but was in return demanded to subsidise the Police Force to purchase needed computer softwares. “They said the whole Police Force had no software that could perform pixelating function, and I have to pay for all cost of software purchase.” She questioned why the Police could release pixelated videos on their Facebook page, and the Inspector explained those videos were handled by officers’ personal computers. Later, the police verbally notified Ms. Chan, that the installation of related softwares costed 20-30 thousand dollars, but she also needed to pay for wages of the officers who handled the pixelating procedures, so the total cost would be from 50-100 thousands.
Ms. Chan then demanded the police to list out the items of payment in black and white, and to provide a quotation of the software. However, there had been no response from the police who, a month later, denied Chan’s application claiming that the video involved inspection of criminal activities. “(The Police) rejected my request each time with different reasons, which obviously were not the true ones. They hold me responsible for purchasing software and officers’ working hours. It doesn’t make any sense. They have their salary.”

Victim of Sexual Violence by the Police Urges Hongkongers to Speak Up Against Injustice
A press conference was held at the headquarters of The Hong Kong Social Workers' General Union on June 22, 2020. An underaged female student, K, spoke of her experiences of the police's verbal and sexual abuse after her arrest on September 25, 2019.
After K was arrested in a shopping mall, several police officers insulted her with profanity that demeant women and a female officer "grabbed" her breast several times. K was appalled by the police behaviour even in the public. She then heard that she was dehumanized into a "piece" in a conversation between the police.
At the police station, K's request to the bathroom was repeatedly denied. K told the police that she has human rights. This triggered a series of insult from the police: A female officer said to her, "Human rights are based on freedom, but you are a criminal. Here, we have a say in your freedom. You'd better keep quiet," while a male police officer mocked K by saying "I have human rights!"
K was finally allowed to go to the bathroom but only one hour later. At the toilet, she was directly gazed at by a female officer. K requested her privacy to be respected, but the officer claimed it was part of the protocol.
K requested to call her lawyer and family for at least 6 times but was never granted. Even worse, K had to face a third-degree body search, which required to have all her clothes removed. During the search, a female officer leant very close to K's chest and private parts while humiliating her with insults.
K was brought back to her home for a search by a male police officer, but without the company of her family or lawyer. K felt completely terrified during the search.
After all these happenings, K was traumatized and made three attempts to commit suicide including jumping into the rails. K was diagnosed with PTSD. Nonetheless, she chose to speak up to let other victims of police violence know that they were not alone and they should not blame themselves as they had done nothing wrong.
K wanted to send a message to all Hongkongers that one should speak up when facing injustice.
While K will face a trial in Shatin Magistrates Courts at 14:30 on July 21, the Hong Kong Social Workers' General Union is launching an official complaint to the police about the case.

Founder of Taiwanese Forum PTT Boycotts Disney's Mulan, Hailing Hong Kong Women as "True Mulans"
Ethan Tu, founder of Taiwan’s AL Lab initiative and forum PTT, announced on 6 September, 2020 that he will resolutely boycott Disney's Mulan starred by Chinese actress Liu Yifei.
Tu pointed out that the true spirit of the heroic Mulan is carried by many women in Hong Kong who took to the streets to defend their homeland, the rule of law and human rights even though they were threatened by police violence.
In Tu's opinion, Chinese actress Liu Yifei, who was openly supportive of the infamously abusive Hong Kong police, was too hypocritical and therefore incapable of portraying the heroine Mulan.
"I will not watch Mulan. For I have watched the real Mulans [in Hong Kong] die for my ideals and freedom for a whole year. I cannot watch the hypocritical patriotic story of becoming a hero."
Tu lamented that the youth took to the streets for Hong Kong, but were threatened and persecuted by the Hong Kong police with sexual violence. Therefore, he could not look at Liu Yifei, who supported Hong Kong Police's indiscriminate violence.

HK Police Deny Molesting the Breast of a Female Journalist
While a police officer was cordoning an area with arms widespread, he allegedly molested the breast of a female journalist of “Chor Post”.
After that, that police officer left the crowd with a grin across his face. A journalist on the spot questioned the police officer. The police officer loudly responded that he was "honourable" and asked the journalist to replay the video.
The young female journalist of “Chor Post” cried very emotionally before she could finally calm down.
After checking the video, another police officer named Mr Cheung said it was an unintentional mistake, and only her shoulder was touched, rather than her breast. While the crowd demanded the police to apologize, the media liaison officer asked the reporter back, "what if he doesn't want to?"

Swedish Website Publishes #PoliticalCartoon, Mocking the "Unsportsmanlike behaviour by Beijing"
A satirical cartoon drawn by artist Niklas "Kludd-Niklas" Eriksson was published on a Swedish website Kinamedia.
The cartoon goes with the title "Unsportsmanlike behaviour by Beijing," referring to how the Chinese Community Party (#CCP) deployed different means to silence the country's own top tennis athlete #PangShuai.
As one of the most well-known female tennis player from China, Pang in early November 2021 disclosed on social media that CCP's former Vice Premier #ZhangGaoli had coerced her into sex at his home, in the presence of his wife. The social media post was soon removed and Pang has not been seen in public since then.

Women's Tennis Association suspends all tournaments in China amid concern for female tennis player #PengShuai
Chinese female tennis player Peng Shuai, aged 35, disappeared from public view for three weeks after accusing Chinese former Vice-Premier #ZhangGaoli of sexual assault.
#WTA chief Steve Simon said he had "serious doubts" that Peng was "free, safe and not subject to intimidation".
"In good conscience, I don't see how I can ask our athletes to compete there," he said.

Women's Tennis Association suspends all tournaments in China amid concern for female tennis player #PengShuai
