Carrie Lam: "no protesters have been killed as a result of direct Police actions" and police have "acted with restraint and used minimum force"

On the last day of 2019, politicians and religious leaders from 18 countries wrote a open letter to Carrie Lam, condemning police violence and the Hong Kong Government's inaction to the pro-democracy demands of the Hong Kong population. (Read: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/14532).

Carrie Lam's administration issued a statement, accusing the open letter of not only making "unfounded, misguided claims"; but also bringing "foreign interference into HKSAR’s affairs", an expression that has been repeatedly used by the Chinese authorities. This expression has now been adopted by the Hong Kong Government.

The same statement also claims that "no protesters have been killed as a result of direct Police action" and that the police have "acted with restraint and the minimum force".

Hong Kong SAR Government's response:

#Hongkongers create human chain and cheer “May Glory to Hong Kong” amidst white terror and #CCP grip

In Hong Kong, on New Year's eve (December 31, 2021), many citizens went up to the #LionRock to count down to the year 2022. Among them, some brought neon light signs that read “GLORY HK” and “FREE HK”.

While some citizens on the site were occupied taking pictures, others lighted up their handphones to form a human chain. Just like the pro-democracy “Hong Kong Way” demonstration in 2019, a line of human chain was soon created, displaying the outline of Lion Rock with the light from the mobile phones.

Together Hongkongers counted down and cheered “May glory to Hong Kong” to welcome 2022.

On the hilltop, some elderly walked by and uttered words of encouragement to the youngsters, “hang on,” “don’t give up”, while others passed on drinks to them.

Down the hill, some citizens raised laser pointers and pointed towards the hill top to echo and show their support.

[Editors' notes: Inspired by the Baltic human chain in 1989, the “Hong Kong Way” was organized by pro-democracy HongKongers in August 2019 during the #AntiELAB Movement.

The human chain expresses Hongkongers' yearning for freedom and basic human rights. Tens of thousands of Hongkongers lined up on pavements, overpasses, waterfronts and parks, snaking a line of nearly 30 miles (50km) long through Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories.
