HK Police Accuse Resident Distributing Mooncakes of "having an extramarital affair"
On October 1, 2020, To Kwa Wan residents organized a Mid-Autumn Festival event with the theme, "never forget 12 Hong Kong youths" at the outdoor To Kwa Wan Playground.
Besides giving mooncake to residents, the organiser collected postcards to send to #12HongKongYouths who have been detained in China since August 23.
After the event had started for an hour, the police warned the residents on the spot of violating the group gathering ban. The police intercepted participants and threatened to issue fine tickets to civilians and journalists on the spot .
Super, a To Kwa Wan resident, was of those being stopped and searched by the police. She learnt about this event from the internet and felt that it’s a meaningful activity to attend. She helped distribute mooncakes when she passed by a playground.
While Super was being searched, a young police officer asked her directly she is married. "He said I must be having an affair after I said I am married," Super said. "Why did he need to say such bad things?” Sugar reiterated that the police officer’s attitude was terrible and she felt humiliated.
Although the residents were frightened by the massive number of police, “the police said that we scared residents. Inexplicable!” Super said.
