Truth & Justice will Prevail - Hongkongers vow to seek truth in young pro-democracy student's death

#ChanYinLam, a 15-year-old student in Hong Kong, was found dead on 22 September 2019 off the coast from Tseung Kwan O. Given that her body was found naked, and she was an agile swimmer and diver according to various news reports, her death triggered a lot of speculation, pointing at possible police brutality.

A year and 5 months later, on February 22, 2021, pro-democracy supporters continued their monthly ritual of paying tribute to Chan and other victims of police brutality during the anti-ELAB movement.

Over ten lightboxes were lit in the school campus of Hong Kong Design Institute where Chan was last seen, with candle lights, paper cranes and white flowers.

Chan’s supporters called on Hongkongers to fight on and never cease seeking the truth of Chan’s death.

Judge Slams Prosecution of #YuenLong721 a wasting of the court’s time

The magistrate Eddie Yip Chor-man spent the morning questioning the prosecution’s opening statement, in which the prosecution mentioned multiple times that a “violent confrontation took place” between the while-clad and black-clad, but did not provide any detail of the confrontation.

Yip questioned that, “Does 'violent confrontation' mean the two parties fought each other?” and “who fought whom first” in the “violent confrontation”.

In response, the prosecution clarified that it was the white-clad who hit the black-clad with rattan canes and wooden sticks while the black-clad counter-attacked.

Magistrate Yip expressed dissatisfaction, blasting the prosecution, “Are you writing a flashback or a time-travelling novel? We’re not making a film. It looks like you have edited that film!”

He later concluded that, “It turns out that the 6 (Chinese) characters (violent confrontation taken place) have encapsulated a lot.”

The Magistrate also questioned why the prosecution detailed a screening event on 16 Jul in the first 2 paragraphs of the statement.

The prosecution ended up admitting that the screening event was irrelevant and was slammed by Yip of wasting time.
