Another #Video Showing the Destruction of #HKU Lennon Wall by Pro-China Supporters
The Lennon Wall at the University of Hong Kong was destroyed by 30 people on 26 September, 2020.
In the clip, we can see HKU security guards asking those people to leave and said, “Can you please go now? Thanks! Thanks! Please!”.
The attackers replied with “We are Hongkongers, y’all are rubbish and cockroaches!”, “We love our country. Hong Kong people cleaning Hong Kong, clearing out the rubbish!”. The guards then replied, “Thanks it’s ok!” while giving them a thumbs up.
The university management still hasn’t responded to the issue.

Patrizia De Grazia of Radicali Italiani (Italian Radicals) has initiated a 12-day protest since Oct 12, 2020, demanding Chinese authorities to return 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers, who have been detained in China for over 50 days.

In the coming days, De Grazia and the members of Radicali Italiani are travelling to different parts of Italy to raise concern over the humanitarian crisis in Hong Kong.
The marathon campaign includes protesting outside the Chinese embassy and consulate, singing the protest anthem "Glory to Hong Kong" in Cantonese and Italian, speaking at the parliament and spreading news about Hong Kong situation to the international community.

"This is a Hong Kong I'm not familiar with": #Chickeeduck Owner Recounts Police Raid on Newly-Opened Branch
After national security police raided #Chickeeduck 's new Tsuen Wan branch on May 6, 2021, store owner #HerbertChow recounted the ordeal in English to reporters at the store.
About 30 officers entered the premises with a search warrant, he said, claiming that the store may have products that violated the National Security Law.
Although the police only searched for products, all store staff were detained and not allowed to leave, even at Chow's request.
Many customers left the store when the police began surrounding and cordoning off the shop, and police took down the ID card numbers of the customers before letting them go.
Chow and four other employees remained in the store as the policemen conducted their search for about an hour, opening bags and carton boxes. The police found nothing. However, one senior officer told Chow that although the police were not confiscating any evidence, the investigation was not finished.
He gave Chow a verbal warning: "In the future, if you violate the National Security Law, we will prosecute you."
When Chow asked him whether he had violated any law, the officer only answered, "We have no responsibility to answer your question." "I just want to know whether I can continue business," Chow said.

https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/29618
Since the police did not remove any questionable items, he reasoned, everything in the store could be assumed to be legal, and the store could continue to open for business. "So have I violated any law?" Chow asked, "Should I continue, or should I take away some stuff?" The officer only said again that they were not obliged to answer.
"So this is Hong Kong," said a flabbergasted Chow. "The national security department is so powerful, they can come in, interrupt your business for one hour, take your customers' ID card numbers, and they don't have to explain.“
"This is a Hong Kong I'm not familiar with. I've been living here for 57 years; this is the first time I've experienced this."
Chow is resolute in continuing his business despite the harassment, though his view of the police force is quickly dimming.
"I used to tell youngsters that there are good people in the police force. I'm changing [my stance]."

Ex-Lawmaker #EmilyLau Calls Out Unfairness in NSL Trial Procedures, As Hundreds Gather Outside 47 Democrats' Court Hearing
Video: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/29878
Former Democratic Party chairperson Emily Lau was among the large crowds of Hongkongers who turned out on Monday, May 31, 2021, in support of the #47Democrats, who appeared in court at the West Kowloon Magistracy,
"I'm not a lawyer," Lau said, "but I think that if they haven't finished investigations -- and it could go on for who knows how many more months, how many more years -- then finish it first, and let the people go! Why keep them all locked up?"
"This is not how things used to work in Hong Kong." said Lau, who had been involved in politics since the first direct election of LegCo in 1991. "That's why you see so many people coming out today. Everybody is incensed."
"You have to be more fair," Lau continued.
"Others have also said the same thing: free the people first, then they can take as long as they want with the investigations. But no, they haven't gathered enough evidence, they said; they needed to investigate carefully, they said."
"It's handled so badly! How could they do this?"
The case is adjourned until July 8, 2021, when the 47 Democrats will appear in court again. The 36 defendants who had not been granted bail continue to be held in custody.

“This is an attitude problem with the police”: Intern Journalist Fined for Gathering Ban
Earlier, an intern journalist of Stand News was issued a fine ticket due to violations of the gathering ban (Cap. 599G). When tried to explain her identity, the police asked for a valid accreditation from the Hong Kong Journalists’ Association, which was simply absent due to the journalist being an intern.
Ronson Chan, a senior journalist in Hong Kong, expressed his bewilderedness to the event. “There is a problem with the [police's] attitude during law enforcement.” he said.
“The Hong Kong Police Force announced that they didn’t recognise those documents anymore. Why are they asking for them again?” He noticed the officers involved belonged to the Police Tactical Unit. “Their training were mainly physical, and may not be equipped with adequate knowledge on the matter.” He went on to state it is important to know which team these officers belong to in order to follow up the case.
