A ONE-MILLION REWARD FOR THE TRUTH (offered by HK Youtuber Jason Chau)

Chau is now offering a One-Million reward for substantial information that may result in the arrest and conviction of Hong Kong police officers following on:
-HONG KONG POLICE brutality (especially any police misconducts happened at Prince Edward MTR Station, police stations or San Uk Ling detention centre during the August 31 incident).

-Bloodsheds and deaths since the pro-democracy movement begun

Chau requests Hong Kong police officers with such information to come forward for the sake of justice, guaranteeing the confidentiality of their identity.

“Come On! Work is just about money! Go where the money is!”
Chau believes that there must be Hong Kong police officers who might have seen or heard something about those interests but remained silence and let illegal firearms continue to remain in the city. The money reward would incentivise Hong Kong police officers with such information to speak up.

8 Years After Lamma Ferry Collision in 2012: Police Did Not Complete Report, Pro-Beijing Lawmakers Ask Bereaved Families to "Let Go"

On October 1, 2012, the ferry "Lamma IV", carrying Hong Kong Electricity’s employees, their families and children, departed Lamma Island for the National Day firework display over Victoria Harbour.

Shortly after its departure, the boat was fatally collided by a Hong Kong and Kowloon Ferry’s passenger vessel, "Sea Smooth".

This is reportedly the deadliest maritime incident in Hong Kong since 1971.

More than 100 people were flung into the water. 39 passengers of Lamma IV, including eight children, died in tragedy.

Lamma IV began to sink almost immediately, and the low visibility and obstacles on board made the rescue operation very difficult.

At the time of the incident, Hong Kong was celebrating China’s National Day, resulting in the area’s already bustling waters being unusually overcrowded.

An inquiry into the collision revealed that the safety standards on the Lamma IV was not properly enforced and there had been a "litany of errors".

The Hong Kong Marine Department was found turning a blind eye to these issues and continued to renew the license of Lamma IV.

The case has then been handed to the HK Police Force for further investigation. 8 years has passed, and no findings has ever been disclosed, not to mention a clear timeline or progress report of any form.

The families of the deceased have waited in grief and they are still waiting.

The Coroner's Court is unable to hold a hearing because the police has not completed their investigation.

Pro-establishment lawmakers brazenly suggested for the government to stop looking into the incident, saying that one should “let go”, “move on” and “be forward-looking”.

Volunteer #FirstAider who attended in #AlexChow’s case criticises the police for being dishonest

Carson Tsang Long-hin, spokesperson of the group #Ideologist, was the volunteer first aider who appeared at the Coroner’s Court as a citizen witness for Alex Chow’s case.

Tsang said he respected the jury’s decision that the cause of death was suspicious, and hoped Hong Kongers would allow time for the Chow’s family to reflect and digest the decision.

Tsang criticised the police for lying at the press conference following Chow’s death that they did not enter the parking lot when Chow fell. The police only admitted doing so when evidence that showed the opposite was found.

Tsang also questioned whether the police have done their best on the investigation as they claimed that no videotape showing Chow’s fall was found. The videotape was later found upon investigation by the Coroner and the Coroner officer.

Who determines the truth?: The tragic death of 22-year-old Chow Tsz-lok 

On the night of 3 November 2019, one police officer hosted his wedding banquet at a hotel in Tseung Kwan O. Rumours had it that when the newly wedded couple were taking photos outside of the hotel,  some residents were booing.

Afterwards, vehicle after vehicle of riot police rushed into the private areas such as residential buildings and shopping malls. Shortly after the dismissal of the banquet, the police shot almost a hundred canisters of tear gas and some shot towards the homes of residents.

We can still see the situation that day reported by fellow protestors on site through the history in the communication applications

HongKongers continue quest for truth on 2-year anniversary of pro-democracy student's death

On September 22, 2019, 15-year-old student #ChanYinLam, a supporter of Hong Kong's anti-extradition bill protests, passed away.

Chan's body was found naked and floating in the sea near Tseung Kwan O. However, Hong Kong police quickly declared her death to be unsuspicous, before conducting much investigation.

In the two years since, the police had been making every effort to stop citizens from gathering in remembrance of Chan, citing COVID-19 gathering restrictions and social order.

Resisting to forget, citizens continue to place memorials in Tseung Kwan O on September 22, 2021, with light boxes of Chan's portrait and white electric candles. The memorial not pays tribute to Chan, but symbolizes the continued quest for the truth behind her death.

Her death in 2019 had sparked immediate and intense public discussion, with some suspecting that the Hong Kong Police might be involved. The police's repeated denials without a thorough investigation only reinforced public suspicions.

Following an 11-day inquest at the Coroner's Court in 2020, the jury returned an open verdict in Chan's death. The five-member jury of three women and two men unanimously concluded that they were unable to determine the causes and circumstances of Chan's death.

#GrannyWong calls on Hongkongers to remember young protester's mysterious death

September 22, 2021 marked the 24th month since death of the 15-year-old pro-democracy protesters, #ChanYinLam when her naked body was found in the harbor off Tseung Kwan O on September 22, 2019. The coroner's court had ruled the cause of her death to be inconclusive, due to insufficient evidence.

In late evening, Granny Wong was outside a shopping mall nearby Tseung Kwan O, holding a British flag and a bouquet of flowers in her hands. She urged any witnesses to come forward with information relevant to Chan's death.

Moments later, Wong was intercepted by Hong Kong police and searched. After she was eventually released, two plainclothes officer followed Granny Wong as she made her the way to the promenade.

Hong Kong lawyers create court database of protest-related cases in bid to safeguard #RuleofLaw

A group of young Hong Kong lawyers have created a database of magistrates’ rulings in protest-related cases in a bid to safeguard the rule of law, amid unprecedented public interest in court hearings after thousands were prosecuted over the 2019 unrest.

The #CompendiumProject – launched in June – has compiled information on more than 500 protest-related cases that were handled by all seven magistrates’ courts. From the name of the magistrate to the reasons for the verdict and sentence, the platform seeks to provide written records of lower court hearings that are rarely made public by the authorities.

The Legal Reference System managed by Hong Kong’s judiciary seldom publishes written judgements by magistrates.

One of the project consultants, barrister Chris Ng, said such a practice had made it difficult for lawyers to check the legal principles and sentencing guidelines adopted by different magistrates, and whether their rulings in cases of a similar nature were consistent.

“Lawyers have always been kept in the dark,” he said.

As at the end of July, the city’s magistrates’ courts were processing 150 protest-related cases, while 1,101 had been completed.

“Following the social movement, the whole sentencing landscape has changed. To put it simply, the sentences became heavier,” another junior barrister involved in the project added.

The project’s low-profile adviser #MargaretNg,  said in her new book about the rule of law that Hongkongers have developed an “unprecedented” interest in judicial procedures.

“Self-initiated” citizens who record court proceedings, and the compendium project, were both proof that the rule of law would not be “taken away” easily, she said.

30 months after 7.21 Yuen Long Mob Attack, Hongkongers refuse to forget

On July 21, 2019, over 100 rod-wielding men stormed Yuen Long rail station, leaving 45 people injured, including pro-democracy journalists, legislators, protesters returning home after a rally and regular commuters.

Several other violent beatings took place in the area, as white-clad men were seen chasing after black-clad civilians with wooden rods and bamboo sticks with the China flag attached.

Hong Kong police were accused of colluding with the attackers and criticised for arriving late to the scene, a whole 39 minutes after they received reports. Over 20,000 calls to the police emergency hotline went unanswered despite the event unfolding on live news. Meanwhile, uniformed officers were spotted walking away from the MTR station as the attack was developing, and later seen chatting with some of the white-clad men with hands on each other's shoulders.

In August 2020, the police aggressively pushed a vastly distorted narrative that runs entirely counter to what video evidence depicts of the assault. In a briefing, police officer said the attack was not "indiscriminate" but were clashes between two "evenly matched" rival groups.

Dubbed the "7.21 Yuen Long attack", the incident is one of the most remembered happenings during the Anti-Extradition Bill movement. It remains a shocking and indelible evidence of the police turning its back on Hong Kong people.
