Riot Police Repeatedly Thrust and Shove Subdued Men as if Venting Anger

#Apr30 marked the 8th mensiversary of Prince Edward Attack last August when a slew of riot police discriminately assaulted pro-democracy protests returning home on a subway train. Netizens called on civilians to present flowers and mourn for those sacrificed in the attack. A substantial police force was deployed, encircling the Prince Edward station.

On the day at around 21:07, a private car accidentally hit the right door panel of a police car nearby Sai Yee Street. Two men on the private car, reportedly reporters of online media, were immediately intercepted and later arrested.

A video clip circulated on the Internet, showed the arrest of two reporters, with one of them being subdued to the ground. The video showed riot police fiercely kicked the man on the ground for multiple times and yelled, “are you attempting to assault police? Are you trying to crush policeman by car?”

Another man in a red shirt was also subdued with his hands buckled by a sling. One officer suspected to be injured, reproached, “you almost hit me”.

Chinese University of Hong Kong Deletes Content on General Education Salon

While the public broadcaster #RTHK was deleting programmes on YouTube, the General Education (#GE) Salon of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) has also been found deleting its own videos on its Youtube channel.

It used to be a platform where professors share their knowledge relating to practical experiences in Hong Kong. The videos deleted include “1984 and the Brave New World” , “On Liberty” and Benny Tai's “the Rule of Law Culture”

Professor Chow Po-chung, a speaker on the channel and well-known public intellectual, is shocked by the news. “These are a kind of public resource! Of course I wish they can be left undeleted.”
