Spinal disc dislocated: pro-democracy legislator Ray Chan dragged across the floor in LegCo Scuffle
Beijing loyalist: I was just taking the trash out
Scuffles broke out on May 8 in the highly controversial LegCo House Committee meeting chaired by pro-Beijing legislator Starry Lee. Beijing loyalist Kwok Wai-keung was filmed holding onto the collar of pro-democracy legislator Ray Chan's shirt, causing him to lose balance, and dragging him across the legislature's chamber.
Kwok responded to the incident today, likening himself to a janitor "taking out the trash". He counterclaimed that he was only trying to stop Chan from being too close to the podium.
Chan was diagnosed with inter-vertebral disc dislocation upon visiting the emergency room. He plans to file a police report and sue Kwok.

Police Ignore Assault Case, Pro-democracy lawmaker: "Does the rule of law only serve Beijing loyalists?"
Pro-democracy lawmaker Ray Chan of People Power was pulled and dragged along the floor by Beijing loyalist Kwok Wai-keung of Federation of Trade Unions, during the Legislative Council's House Committee meeting on May 8. The clash has caused Chan's spinal disk to slip.
On May 11, Chan made a report to the police at the Police Headquarters. Chan condemned the police for taking no action, despite that the assault has been filmed and broadcast in the news. Chan said the police called him, but only to tell him "not to have more than 8 people [the gather ban]".
Chan plans to launch a private prosecution against Kwok, but has to crowdfund HK$1 million. Chan expressed his utmost disappoinment at the police and Department of Justice: "Is the rule of law only serving the Beijing loyalists?"

#Interview #Laamchau
As the National Security Law suppresses Hong Kong, how will ‘laam chau’ brother’s “grassroot international lobbying” continue?
(9 Jul) Laam chau team’s work has gradually evolved from sending emails to international lobbying, organizing global rallies, and even inviting foreign legislators to witness the protests in Hong Kong. Laam chau brother described the team’s inception in last June as a “grassroot effort”, but it has now developed into a “grassroot international line” without the participation of political stars. Recently, they joined the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) – an alliance comprised of legislators from 13 countries, who are pushing for stronger responses from governments worldwide to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
After one year of protests, street protests have been heavily suppressed; After the implementation of the National Security Law, “local organizations, political figures, legislators and students in Hong Kong involved with international lobbying will inevitably be suppressed”. He understands that from now on, the international persuasion work would have to depend on overseas Hongkongers.
“Is this how my life would end?”
In a video released in early May, Laam chau brother, who is currently abroad, mentioned that someone offered a million dollars to have him killed. After the release of the video, netizens worry for him and asked him to be careful, and some even suggested hiring bodyguards.
However something still happened to him in recent months.
Laam chau brother said he was walking alone on the street one night when he noticed a figure approaching him. He walked hurriedly, but before he got to the corner of the street, he was surrounded by a few black men. One grabbed him from behind and the others started beating him. They aimed for the head, he recalled.
He soon collapsed and became unconscious. The smell of his blood was so thick that all he could think was, “Is this how my life would end?”. When he regained consciousness after an unknown period of time, he could barely get up, but the first thing he did was to photograph his injuries and tell his team. “At least they’d know what happened if I die”, he said.
He recalled that it took the nurse several hours to stop the bleeding from the wound on the back of his head. Apart from his skull, his eyes were also bleeding and swollen, and his white shirt was stained with blood. Till this day, the back of his head is still swollen.
Is the attack directly related to politics? “Frankly speaking, I can’t rule it out, but I also can’t prove that the attack is related to the CCP.” Laam chau brother said, “This may be the last warning, or it may be that I’m born unlucky”.
Laam chau brother also mentioned that a team member lost touch after participating in a Hong Kong protest. He said that member was active in the group, and he would never “suddenly disappear“. There is also a rule in the team that requires members to report their safety regularly and give notice before quitting. “If he is still safe, I hope he could inbox us and let the team know.” However, he is not too optimistic on the situation.

Australian Student Drew Pavlou Says the Chinese Person Who Assaulted Him for Supporting Anti-ELAB Movement Was Not an International Student and Has Escaped to China
Drew Pavlou, a 21-year-old former Philosophy student at the University of Queensland (#UQ), Australia, announced on Twitter that the police finally identified one of the masked Chinese men who attacked him at the anti-extradition law amendment bill (anti-ELAB) protest on campus a year ago. The Australian Border Force informed him that the attacker had already fled to China. The police also stated that the attacker was not a UQ student and it had issued an arrest warrant for him. Pavlou has previously indicated that the attackers were not students but government-affiliated persons appointed by the CCP through the Consul General of Brisbane Xu Jie.
An Active Participant in Human Rights Advocacy Who Was Attacked by CCP Supporters for Hosting Assembly in Support of Hong Kong
The incident followed the anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong last year, when Hong Kongers around the world banded with locals to host protests against the bill. Pavlou, aged 20 only at the time, participated in an anti-ELAB assembly on the campus with Hong Kongers, shouting the slogan "Hey Hey Ho Ho, Xi Jinping has got to go". During the protest, Hong Kong students and their supporters were attacked. As shown in an online video, there was an argument between both sides, during which someone played the Chinese national anthem aloud and shouted "China is great", while Pavlou was attacked by a man wearing a mask.

Judge Praises Assailant who Assaulted Pro-democracy Activist in HK for Loving Society
Wong Sum-kau, aged 80, used a chisel to attack pro-democracy activist 'Long hair' Leung Kwok-hung on 16 April, 2020, near China's Liaison Office in Hong Kong.
Leung was hurt on the right side of his waist. The assailant pled guilty for one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Magistrate Cheang Kei-hong suggested that it was fortunate that the victim was not hurt badly, although the chisel is made of metal and carries certain weight.
After watching the video footage, the magistrate said he can see the assailant was “agile”.
Yet, the assailant allegedly sent death threats to pro-democracy activists, by yelling in court: "Ted Hui and Joshua Wong, they will die sooner or later". Despite this, the magistrate believed that the assailant “loves society” and "only" commited the crime because of "different political stance".
The magistrate suggested that since the defendant was willing to serve society, he should just be sentenced to community service. The case is adjourned to 13 Oct, 2020.

Man sentenced 3 months in jail after attacking Pro-demoracy Activist, Magistrate, "He showed his love to society."
An eighty-year-old man had admitted to attacking pro-democracy activist 'long hair' Leung Kwok-hung in April 2020, claiming that he had been "enforcing justice for God", "punishing Leung and let him know he is not welcomed" and "Joshua Wong and Ted Hui will die, sooner or later." On Oct 14, he was sentenced to jail for 3 months and 6 days.
Magistrate Cheang Kei Hong had praised the man for "the love he has shown towards Hong Kong", and believed that he committed the crime because of differences in political opinions.
In the past, Cheang has convicted a person for owning a bag of wire tire and gave the person a sentence of 5 and a half months while refusing to grant bail. Another person in possession of 2 jars of spray paint was sentenced by Cheang to a 5 and a half month imprisonment.

Hong Kong Police Deny Having Tortured Hospitalized Elderly Despite Captured by Surveillance Camera
Three Hong Kong police officers were arrested for torturing a 62-year-old man at North District Hospital in June 2019.
They were charged with "misconduct in public office" and "alternate assaults occasioning actual bodily harm". Two of them pled guilty and are remanded in custody. The third officer Lam Yik-sing pled not guilty to the charges and continued to represent himself in court.
Lam argued that what he saw in the ward on that day was different from the surveillance camera footage. Judge Chan Chung-hang questioned Lam if he was talking about a different angle and challenged him, “are you saying that the surveillance camera footage was fake?” Then, Lam clarified that he referred to a different angle.
