2048 | #ShaTin
The video is an interview with Shatin District Councilor Li Chi-wen, who witnessed the whole incident of riot police storming into New Town Plaza this evening (May 1) at around 7:30pm and dispersed civilians in the shopping mall, citing the anti-gathering ban amidst the Coronavirus epidemic as an excuse.

Conflicts at HKCTU Street Counters

On Labour Day (1 May), citizens rallied around and supported 'Yellow Shops' (pro-democracy shops). Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (“HKCTU”) also set up around 60 street counters. Riot police were stationed everywhere and stopped pedestrians regularly.

At around 4pm, the street counter run by Lee Cheuk-yan near Langham Place was harassed by pro-China supporters. Hundreds of riot police arrived and cordoned off the entire street including the HKCTU street counter.

Several riot police officers raised their pepper spray and threatened pedestrians and reporters, shouting '1! 2! 3! 4! 5!' in reference to the prohibition of social gatherings, which bans the gathering of more than 4 people. Some riot police pushed away reporters. The pro-China supporters left while escorted by the police.
