50 Police Barge Into Private Estate Thrice Without Warrant; Residents Fear Act Was to Intimate Coroner's Court Witnesses

Residents of Beverly Garden in Tseung Kwan O has initiated a petition, being discontented by the presence of around fifty police that had violated Police Force Ordinance by barging and patrolling in a private area.

A landlord stated that police had entered the estate thrice under high profile within 24 hours without a Court warrant. He worried that such “patrolling” would become a norm, stating that it not only made residents feel panic, but also affected residents’ daily routines. She also worried that police entering the estate under such high profile might stress neighbours that would be attending the Coroner’s Court. Thus they urged police to explain.

In 2019, 22-year-old pro-democracy student Alex Chow fell from the parking lot of the adjacent Sheung Tak Estate during police operation. The hearing for Alex Chow's case in the Coroner’s Court started recently and would call 60 witnesses, including residents of Beverly Garden.

The landlord was worried police barging the estate under such high profile might stress witness, and thus joined the petition.

Hongkongers Pledge to Carry On Deceased Student's Unfinished Quest for Freedom and Democracy

After China's imposition of National Security Law and crackdowns on dissenting voices in what was once one of the world freest cities, Hong Kong has not seen large scale gatherings in remembrance of those who suffered police brutality and sacrificed their lives during the quest of freedom and democracy.

On this night (Novermber 8), defiant Hongkongers continued to pay tribute to #ChowTszLok, a university student who passed away after falling from height in a car park during anti-ELAB movement in 2019.

In a park not far away from the car park, several light boxes with Chow's portrait and a line of white candles had been set up in Chow's remembrance.

A second set of light boxes displayed the citizens' vow to continue their quest for democracy, pledging to Chow that they will "carry on your unfinished journey (代你走下去)."
