Hong Kong Police Verbally, Physically and Sexually Abuse Reporter: Threat of Gang Rape After Arrest
On 9 February at around 2am, Hong Kong police arrested a reporter from the City Broadcasting Channel (CBC) on the suspicion of theft. The reporter remained in police custody for 24 hours. In those 24 hours before he could be released on bail, he was exposed to repeated threats and was sexually harassed by police officers.
Police arrested the reporter in Tseung Kwan O while he was covering the conflict there. The reporter was hit by pepper spray from the police. As he attempted to clean the residue of the spray, an agitated police officer pointed at the reporter, exclaiming "this was the guy who was obstructing me, arrest him!”
CBC made a public announcement to denounce the violent and inappropriate actions of the police that night. CBC emphasised that their reporter was attacked despite carrying a press pass and wearing his reflective vest which clearly indicated the victim’s identity as a reporter.
Furthermore, before being arrested, the reporter did not obstruct the police while performing their duties in any way. Yet, the police still arrested the reporter and swote at him, branding him as a “corrupt reporter" during the arrest. These actions are not only extremely disrespectful to professional reporters, it is also a clear violation to the freedom of the press under the Basic Law.
In addition, while transporting the reporter to the police station, the policemen on board verbally abused and sexually harassed the reporter repeatedly. The policemen even went as far as calling the reporter “A damned gay cxxt” and threatened to gang rape the reporter multiple times.
These remarks are in clear violation of Section 2(5) of the Sex Discrimination Ordinance (Cap. 480, LHK), which states that a person (howsoever described) sexually harasses a woman if
(a) the person
(i) makes an unwelcome sexual advance, or an unwelcome request for sexual favours, to her; or
(ii) engages in other unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature in relation to her,
in circumstances in which a reasonable person, having regard to all the circumstances, would have anticipated that she would be offended, humiliated or intimidated; or
(b) the person, alone or together with other persons, engages in conduct of a sexual nature which creates a hostile or intimidating environment for her."
Although the CBC reporter is male, it is worth noting that the ordinance covers sexual harassment of both men and women, and the above definition shall have effect regarding sexual harassment of men with such modifications as are necessary. (Section 2(8) of the Ordinance).
The Police's abuse of power and threats made against the CBC journalist showed the utter lack of respect the Hong Kong Police Force have for the arrested.
Furthermore, according to Chapter 39-05 of the Police General Orders, all officers at the scene of an incident shall:-
(a) facilitate the work of the news media as much as possible and accord media representatives consideration and courtesy; and
(b) not block camera lenses.
This proves that the actions of the officers involved in this incident are not only illegal, but also breached the police general orders, which is a set of rules that the police must follow before exercising their powers in public in order to protect the interests of Hong Kong people.
This incident is just one of many where the police have been suspected of using excessive violence and abusing their power and authority while handling protests and other related events.

"A male riot police threatened me in a loud voice: 'Dare you not to answer Madam's (i.e. colloquial term for a female police officer) question? Do you want me to send you to San UK Ling Holding Centre?' (Editor's note: The police used the San UK Ling Holding Centre to process many protesters in August and September last year. It is alleged that the police tortured the arrestees inside but the police has denied this allegation.)
The female riot officer said in my ear: 'Once you are (at San UK Ling Holding Centre), I don't know what the officers taking over would do to you.'
While sitting on an iron chair the next day during my third search, two female arrestees were sitting next to me. A plaincloth police officer was chatting with the Duty Officer and said: 'Three female cockroaches were arrested?' (Editor's note: "Cockroaches" is a demeaning term used by the police to describe protesters.) The Duty Officer responded: 'Yes, you can pick the one you like and rape her.' Then they laughed together.
Another good friend was arrested another day. When she was in the police car, the police said to her: "Do you believe that I would put stones in your backpack and throw you into the sea?"

UK Condemns Systematic Sexual Assault in Xinjiang’s Concentration Camps as “Evil”, Vows to Keep Pressuring China with US and Europe
Following a BBC report on the large-scale sexual assault, sexual abuse and torture in Xinjiang’s concentration camps, the UK condemned the acts as “clearly evil” after a similar statement from the US.
In an urgent question in the House of Commons, Conservative MP Nus Ghani said there is growing evidence of the atrocities by the Chinese government and even genocide in Xinjiang. Ghani demanded that Nigel Adams, the UK’s Deputy Minister for Asian Affairs, guarantee that no further ties with China will be made before the situation is thoroughly investigated.
Adams said in response that the UK is among those leading the effort to hold China accountable and that anyone who has seen the reports “cannot help but be moved and distressed by what are clearly evil acts”. Adams added that the UK will continue to pressure China with the US administration under Biden and other European countries.
Meanwhile, the Australian foreign minister Marise Payne called for an immediate UN investigation in Xinjiang.

Swedish Website Publishes #PoliticalCartoon, Mocking the "Unsportsmanlike behaviour by Beijing"
A satirical cartoon drawn by artist Niklas "Kludd-Niklas" Eriksson was published on a Swedish website Kinamedia.
The cartoon goes with the title "Unsportsmanlike behaviour by Beijing," referring to how the Chinese Community Party (#CCP) deployed different means to silence the country's own top tennis athlete #PangShuai.
As one of the most well-known female tennis player from China, Pang in early November 2021 disclosed on social media that CCP's former Vice Premier #ZhangGaoli had coerced her into sex at his home, in the presence of his wife. The social media post was soon removed and Pang has not been seen in public since then.
