Citizens Continue Monthly Tribute in Remembrance of Police Brutality Victims Despite Mounting Oppression
Today is the last day of 2020, which also marks the 16th month of the 8.31 incident where Hong Kong police forced themselves onto a train landed at Prince Edward MTR station and attacked indiscriminately passengers on the train, pepper-sprayed innocent civilians, and stopped medics from aiding those being injured.
Many pro-democracy protesters, on their way home after a day of peaceful rally, had fallen victim to police brutality on August 31 last year. Known as the 8.31 Prince Edward Incident, this is also remembered as one of the most brutal incidents during the Anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong last year.
Since then, members of the public have voluntarily been going to #PrinceEdward station on the last day of every month, bringing white flowers to pay tribute to the rumoured casualties and the victims of #PoliceBrutality during the pro-democracy movement.
In a bid to silence opposing voices in the city, Hong Kong Police announced that they will arrest citizens going Prince Edward station to lay white flowers in remembrance of this incident, citing COVID-19 and social distancing as excuses.
Although police set up a long cordon line this afternoon as early as 4pm, Granny Wong was sighted near Prince Edward station with white flowers in late evening, holding a light sign that read “#Save12”.
In defiance of stringent police control, some citizens came to show their respect to pro-democracy protesters, bringing a prominent signage that read, “ICAC investigate proactively, arresting the plaintiff Lam Cheuk-ting instead”.

3 Years of #August31Incident, HKers in Britain not to Give Up
HKers gathered at no less than 12 British cities for the three years of the August 31 incident. Participants condemned the Hong Kong police for helping the regime to suppress citizens. They continue to ask for the truth and request the authority and the MTR company to make the CCTV recording public.
Around a thousand participants mourned the incident in front of Parliament Square in London. The host read out the names who gave their lives to the #AntiELAB movement. Names include Leung Ling Kit, the first to jump off from Pacific Place after hanging the slogan next to the building, Leung Kin-Fai, who stabbed a police officer on #Jul01 last year, Chan Yin-lam and Chow Chi-Lok, who still have an unknown cause of death up til now.
On the night of Aug 31, 2019, a group of protesters had arguments with the passengers who opposed the protests inside Prince Edward Station. Many riot police and Special Tactical Squad members then rushed into the station and had an indiscriminate attack on citizens with batons, guns and pepper spray both on the platform and in the train.
The police force even locked the station for more than 30 hours afterwards, obstructing journalists' interviews and rescue work. No one can understand the factual situation inside the station, nor can hold Hong Kong police accountable for using excessive force.
