Young Hongkonger Grieves Loss of Freedom of Expression
After being detained and searched by police behind cordon lines, this young protester showed up at Prince Edward MTR station in remembrance of the victims of the 8.31 police attack last year.
The youngster told reporters that he felt that he was being deprived of freedom of expression. He reiterated that Hong Kong used to be one of the world’s freest city. Citizens’ freedom and rights, however, are being eroded, as they are no longer allowed to express their views and stance freely, even when they were not disturbing anyone else.

15 Months After Police Attack: Prince Edward MTR Surrounded by a Different Sea of White
1945 | Prince Edward
Nov 30, 2020 marks 15 months since the 8.31 Prince Edward Station attack, and the first one since the police announced cracking down on flower offerings at the MTR exit.
The same fences that were decorated with white flowers in previous months are lined with police officers in white uniforms tonight.
While citizens are no longer allowed to lay down flowers - on threat of an immediate littering fine - the image of a sea of white memorializing the victims of that night's police brutality has, ironically, returned once again.

Masked Plainclothes Officer Accuses Civilian of "Assaulting the Police"
A 28-year-old #CivilServant was charged for "elbowing" a plainclothes police officer and possessing a Swiss army knife. The case was trialed in West Kowloon Magistrates' Courts on March 23.
The alleged assault took place during a commemorative gathering 2 months after the indiscriminate police attack at the Prince Edward Station on Aug 31, 2019. Station sergeant Leung Sai-cheong admitted to the court that most of the police officers that evening were masked, but he denied that the police were disguising themselves as protesters.
The station sergeant said, "I was disguised as a civilian to blend into the scene. The lawyer wants me to describe the disguise in detail, like whether it was a hawker or a construction worker. It is really hard for me to describe it to you."
The defence pointed out that Leong's testimony differs from records in his logbook, but Leong disagreed.
