Police called onlookers 'trouble makers' and 'cockroaches'

Oct 2 00:31 Heng Fa Chuen
The police criticized journalists for only filming the police and not the "trouble makers".

Journalists later filmed from a different direction, but only about a dozen residents were seen. The residents were not participating in any activities other than yelling at the police.

A police officer then commented, "Get in the car, just ignore the cockroaches" before leaving in a vehicle.

Journalists asked a nearby security guard about what happened, and was told the police were there for a dispute incident. No one was arrested in the process.

US to Bar Members of "Communist Party or any other totalitarian party" From Immigration

On Oct 2, 2020, the US Citizen and Immigration Serives (#USCIS) in their Policy Manual announced an "inadmissibility based on membership in or affiliation with the Communist Party or any other totalitarian party". The new policy is likely to prevent Chinese Communist Party members from obtaining citizenship in the U.S.

Meanwhile, according to the Press Release of the US Department of State on Sept 20, 2020, the United States anticipates receiving more than 300,000 new refugees and asylum claims in Fiscal Year 2021. It is the first time Hong Kong is listed in the proposed refugee resettlement program.

The press release writes the aim of the program is to "assist refugees and other displaced people as close to their homes as possible until they can safely and voluntarily return to rebuild their lives, their communities, and their countries."

Rally held by Hongkongers in UK calling for attention to youths extradited to China

About 50 people participated in a rally held by Hong Kongers in Manchester on Mid-Autumn Festival (Oct 1, 2020) to call to attention the 12 youths who were arrested and extradited to China, making it the largest gathering in recent times, according to the organiser. Benedict Rogers, founder of the human rights NGO, #HongKongWatch, was also present at the rally for speech.

The rally was held at the Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester at 6pm. Flags and slogans such as “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our times”, “Oct 1 Remembrance Day” were spotted.

Zin, organiser of the event, said some of the participants were Hong Kongers who were exiled to the UK, and some were Hong Kong students from other cities. During the speech, a student from China praised the participants and showed his support towards the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement.

Rumour swirls that University of Hong Kong attempts to remove "#PillarofShame" from its campus

A Hong Kong media revealed in recent days that the University of Hong Kong (#HKU) plans to remove the Pillar of Shame, an artwork which pays tribute to victims of June 4 Tiananmen massacre in Beijing in 1989, from its campus.

The university declined to comment, although the spokesperson stressed that the university will regularly conduct campus-wide risk assessment.

Richard Tsoi, who was vice-chairman of the now-defunct Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, urged the university to allow the display of statue as in past 20 years.

Tsoi saw no reason for authorities to make change to its current practice.

A year 4 student, Leung, came to take picture of the statue after the news swirled. Leung claimed that the authority would be in delusion to think that by removing the statue, it could also remove people's memory of the Tiananmun Massacre in China in 1989.

Leung, however, admitted that he is pessimistic that no one would defend the statue from being removed from the campus, amidst national security law and tightened CCP grip cracking down freedom in Hong Kong.

The Pillar of Shame, an eight-metre tall statue of twisted bodies created by Danish artist #JensAlschiøt, has stood at the university for 24 years.

Galschiøt was shocked to learnt the University attempts to remove the statue. He said removing the statue is
blasphemous to victims of the incident and unethical.
