Police Gruffly Dispersed Reporters at the Front While Searching Dropped Equipment at the Back
2249 | Mong Kok
Riot police cleared the street for traffic, then surrounded a large crowd on the sidewalk. The detained crowd consisted mostly of reporters, wearing hi-vis vests. Helena Wong, a Legislative Councillor, is also on the scene to observe.
As they cleared the street in front of Langham Place, a whole group of officers doubled back to search for some dropped equipment. A number of them wielded batons while ordering reporters to step back; one aggressively flashed a high-powered flashlight at reporters, apparently to cause them discomfort.

Photographer Kenji Wong : "Tear gas fighters" changed my career aspiration
//On June 12, 2019, I saw Hong Kong clouded in tear gas again after five years. This time, I saw a group of self-initiated "tear gas fighters" running towards the canisters to put them off. At that moment, I asked myself whether I should quit my job and devote the whole of myself to record the happenings of this movement, anticipating chaos and turbulence on the way.
At that time, of course, I didn't expect the movement to evolve to such a terrible situation. Nonetheless, one thing remains the same – there are a great many "tear gas fighters" in the city from all walks of life, and they are doing their utmost to make a change. //

China State Media Enlists Overseas #KOL and University Students to Promote the Chinese Communist Party
//China’s state TV station has been targeting British university campuses and offering students the chance to win thousands of pounds by becoming pro-Beijing social media influencers, The Times can reveal.
#CGTN had its broadcasting licence revokedand was taken off the air in Britain in February after an investigation by Ofcom, the media regulator, found that it was editorially controlled by the #ChineseCommunistParty.
The network has since launched a “#MediaChallengers” campaign to recruit internet influencers and vloggers globally, some of whom will promote China and counter western narratives that damage its image.
Successful applicants can win up to $10,000 and secure part-time or full-time jobs at CGTN, according to promotional documents.
At least six students at the University of Leeds and one at the University of Manchester have signed up to the campaign, The Times has found...
Hannah Bailey, an expert on Chinese digital disinformation at the Oxford Internet Institute, said: “If we have western social media influencers reading out China’s official line on particular issues, then domestic audiences might believe the Chinese Communist Party is admired by international audiences.” She said the CGTN campaign was “part of a broader trend that we’ve seen of China trying to increase its influence among university campuses”.//

Protesters' Fund In Support of Hong Kong Pro-democracy Movement Will Cease Operation
The 612 Humanities Relief Fund was established on June 15, 2019 during the Anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong, with the aim to provide relief, from medicak help, legal service to psychological support, to the civilians involved in the city's territory-wide pro-democracy movement.
'612' was named after the day June 12, 2019 where the first police-civilian clash took place. The day had propelled even more civilians to join the pro-democracy cause.
The trustees of the foundation includes legal expert #MargaretNg, cultural studies scholar #HeungPoKeung, Cantopop singer #DeniseHo, and cardinal of the Catholic Church #JosephZen Ze-kiun.
The dissolution of the foundation is caused by the disbandment of a pro-democracy group under which the foundation was registered.

Overseas #Hongkongers Commemorate the Third Anniversary of #AntiExtradition Protests
On June 12, 2022, pro-democracy Hongkongers in Japan gathered to commemorate the three-year mark of the #AntiELAB protests that started in Hong Kong in June 2019. The day in 2019 marks the first police-civilian class near the Legislative Council building, as the authorities pushed forward the extradition to China policy.
In Shibuya, Tokyo in 2022, over a hundred people took part in the demonstration, waving flags and raising yellow umbrellas.
The participants also brought flowers to pay tribute to those who died during the protests. The "yellow raincoat man" who committed suicide on June 15, 2019 and university student #AlexChow who fell to his death during police operation were just some of them.

HKers were Attacked in Southampton after Attending 612 Assembly
There was an assembly at Southampton marking the 4th year of the #June12 incident on Sunday (11th) in Southampton, UK. Some participants were injured by some #LittlePink, shocking the overseas HongKongers' group.
Tom, one of 4 victims, expressed in an interview at #ChaserNews that he could not imagine being attacked after joining a rally with his friends in the UK, given that the UK is a country that values ​​freedom of speech and assembly.
The British police indicated in a media inquiry that the case has been classified as a "hate crime".
Tom said that the police force is gradually taking statements from them.
