Over 20 HK Police Deployed to Arrest Baptist University Students' Union President

At 7am on Dec 2, 2020, over 20 police arrested Fong Chung-yin, the president of Hong Kong Baptist University (#HKBU) students' union, at his home.

Fong is charged with "obstructing justice, refusing arrest and possessing aggressive weapons" and is detained at Shatin Police Station.

On Aug 6, 2019, Fong was aggressively arrested by the police after purchasing 10 stargazing laser pointers in Sham Shui Po. The Hong Kong police had for more than once claimed that laser pointers were "weapons".

19-year-old student files a civil claim against HK Police Force: It's a fight for justice

During the anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong two years ago, a 19-year-old pro-democracy student, Pang Yue-him (彭裕謙) was arrested in #MongKok in November 2019 for possessing a #LaserPointer. Pang plead not guilty.

Without seeking legal representation, Pang took defence for himself in prosecution, reviewed the evidence, and cross-examined the witness in English. In June 2021, he won the court case and was acquitted.

Five months later, Pang filed a civil case at the #DistrictCourt on December 1, accusing the Hong Kong Police Force of disclosing incomplete, misleading and incorrect information which could be deemed “misrepresentation”. He claimed a remedy amounted to HK$520,000.

Handling the #CivilClaim case unrepresented, Pang openly acknowledged that the chance of winning the case is slim. He intended to carry on the court case as a fight for justice.
