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.

Witness of 831 Indiscriminte Attack from a Japanese

The people of Hong Kong (HongKongers) who live in Japan also pay close attention to the Anti Extradition Law movement in Hong Kong. Many of them contributed in different ways, e.g. be a translator, coordinated for marches and assemblies, etc, to convey what is happening in Hong Kong to the Japanese and hope to get the international attention. Seiya Hakugawa, who is of half Japanese and half Hong Kong descent, recently received an invitation from Fuji Television Network to follow a Japanese journalist to Hong Kong for interviews, and to broadcast the 831 incident to the Japan medias. He unfortunately was affected by the tear gas, “this is the very first time that I think I may die”. When he was back to Japan, he decided to organize event and fight for international support.

Hakugawa saw that when reported the Hong Kong’s Anti Extradition law, many of the Japan media were not accurate. “They reported a lot of peaceful scenes, all the violence scenes were glossed over, the violence problems from the Hong Kong police are glossed over too.” He, who speaks fluent Japanese, was invited in August, to translate for the Fuji Television Network journalist and interviewed at the scene of Hong Kong. He could still remember on 31st of August, he was on the footbridge of Harcourt Road, saw the water cannon truck for the very first time and how it shot blue water to the crowds, “all in a sudden there was a tear gas bomb, exploded right at the driveway behind me. I live in Hong Kong for 18 years and this is the first time I think I'm going to die”. He recalled, at that time, he was taking the journalist to hide from the police, “I heard that someone was screaming that the Special Tactical Contingent were coming, I had never experience such a great danger, I was scared from the very bottom of my heart.”

He said, “this is no longer the Hong Kong that I am familiar with.” But he also witnessed the unity of the protestors in the front line, “many people were helping me to escape and I truly believe Hong Kongers deserve to win this time.” When he was back to Japan, he decided to organize events in Japan, and wrote articles in Japanese, etc., let the Japanese know what is happening in Hong Kong. He also mentioned, the Japanese journalist that went to Hong Kong with him, as he witnessed the violence of Hong Kong police himself, reported the situation of 831 in the Japanese television news accurately.

Audiences teared up during a radio program when discussing the situation in Hong Kong

(25 Nov) There is a phone-in section in a radio program of Hong Kong Commercial Radio in the morning. Various Hong Kong citizens had called to express their views about the election.

1. A 68-year-old man voted for the first time in his life in the District Council Election. The host asked why he voted. He started to cry and said, “My wife and I went to vote because of the protests at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. She teared up when she saw the universities became like battlefields. We, as elders, could not go on the streets and protest. We could not leave this place as well. We could only use our votes [to voice our opinions]. (Tearing up continuously) What are the protesters fighting for? They have sacrificed their lives, dignity and future to fight for our freedom. I need the government to compromise and acquit all protesters.” The host asked him whether he got comfort from the election’s results. He sobbed for a few seconds and answered “Yes.”

2. A 44-year-old man used to be pro-police. After the 21 July incident he had become a yellow ribbon. “There’s no way we can tolerate triad members colluding with the police. The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) voted for the Extradition Bill. So I want to vote them out. Starry Lee Wai-King does not need to resign. Instead, I want her to go down with DAB. But I would like to thank Carrie Lam for uniting all Hongkongers.”

3. A local resident living in a walled village in the northern district revealed that his district councilor has always been the only candidate running for the district council election. This year he’s no longer uncontested, and is challenged by a young candidate who is willing to go into the village and talk to the residents. He and his two pro-democracy sons are going to vote for the younger candidate. “But I’m more worried about the Legislative election next year— it’s going to be unfair and they (the government) will use all means, for instance, vote-rigging. I hope the pro-democratic councilors will figure out what to do about it.”

4. A woman used to vote, but had no particular political stance. The police brutality and tear gas in the past 6 months made her realise that all Hongkongers cannot just focus on themselves. “It is really heart breaking to see how (these people) are treating our young people. I hope the elected District Councillors will demand Carrie Lam to set up an independent commission of inquiry to thoroughly investigate the police brutality that took place on 21 July and 31 August.”

5. An old man said in a sobbing voice that after months of despair, he was willing to line up for an hour to vote for a new candidate whom he did not know at all. “I hate how these people are taking side with the evil. This has to be a victory for the people of Hong Kong. I hope the newly elected District Councillors and the alumni of the Polytechnic University will go and save the kids trapped in PolyU.”

6. A man lived near the waterfront of Yuen Long. He finally managed to see someone who was willing to come challenge the District Councillor who had been uncontested for years. “You beat up the citizens. Then expect them to vote you out. There is zero tolerance to police brutality. An independent commission of inquiry must be established. Five demands, not one less! Glory be…” He was so emotional that he was unable to continue.

High Court Orders MTR to Hand CCTV Footage to Student Union President

The police's controversial involvement during 8.31 Prince Edward Incident had aroused public's outrage. President of The Education University of Hong Kong Students' Union Leung Yiu-ting stated that he passed by the station wearing in black that night, and got beaten up by the police. In order to claim reimbursement from the Police Force, Leung went to court and applied for a Norwich Pharmacal Order, requesting the MTR Corporation to provide that night's CCTV footage of Prince Edward Station and Lai Chi Kok Station as evidence. Judge Anderson Chow accepted Leung's application, and ordered the Corporation to hand over the footage to Leung's legal team within seven days.

Leung hoped this "small success" could encourage Hong Kongers, and that the footage could prove that he had been arrested illegally that night. He pointed out that he wore the same outfit as the one he wore on August 31, and that the way police differentiate between "rioters" and "citizens" was questionable.

Editor's Note: The High Court only ordered the MTRC to hand the footage to Leung and his team. The MTRC is under no legal obligation to make the footage public. The High Court has also stated that the footage are to be used in civil lawsuits only.

A life forever altered after head trauma on the night of 31 August, from dizziness while preparing for the DSE to continual challenges as a CUHK student and with career development

(31 Aug) One year ago on the night of 31 August, several police officers entered the platform and trains at Prince Edward Station. Brandishing batons and pepper-spraying those present, the actions of the police caused controversy. A year later, two arrestees - charged with unauthorised assembly and refused bail at the time - obtained permission to recover their belongings that the police seized as evidence. However, their lives have been permanently changed by that night. DSE student, surnamed Lee, was subject to blunt force trauma and lacerations to the head, which led to mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). He claimed that frequent bouts of dizziness affected his studies. Although he was able to enter the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), he could not major in what he wanted. Sonia Ng Ngo-suet, another CUHK student, graduated with First Class Honours but hit a wall when it came to post-graduate and employment prospects. A professor had expressed concerns that her admission could result in less funding for the school.

//On 31 August last year, raptors [Special Tactical Squad] pummeled Lee's head with batons. He ended up with three open wounds that needed 14 stitches. He was hospitalised for nine days and was subsequently arrested. The police confiscated his shirt as evidence and kept it for almost a year.

//"Time flies. I'm not the same person as I was a year ago."

Editor's Note:
* Typically, dizziness symptoms for mTBI are not treated with medication. Progressive rehabilitative exercises that focus on things like eye-tracking and balance are more commonly used due to their effectiveness. If you suspect that you have had an mTBI in the past year, please see a sports medicine doctor.

Hong Kong Police issued penalty ticket to the only press who reported on the 31 Aug attack

(31 Aug) Today is the one-year anniversary of the 31 Aug Prince Edward incident. Hong Kong citizens went out to protest on the streets, leading to multiple conflicts and standoff between police and the citizens. At night police surrounded and obstructed journalists (in yellow reflective vests) in reporting the news again. Among them, a reporter from Rice Post was not admitted by the Police Relations Branch (PPRB) as a 'qualified' reporter and was issued a penalty ticket for 599G (prohibition of group gathering).

On 31 Aug, 2019, Leung Pak-kin, a reporter from Rice Post, captured the moment when Special Tactical Squad, (a.k.a. Raptors) used violence on peaceful citizens that showed no sign of resistance. Rice Post was the only media that captured that scene on camera. That video clip was then widely used and quoted by many media, including international news media.

What is the Truth that Hong Kong Police are trying to conceal

831 Prince Edward Attack remains one of the most remembered incidents of the year-long pro-democracy protest in Hong Kong in 2019.

The incident took place in Prince Edward subway station in late evening of August 31 2019, when large groups of riot police stormed into train cabinets, where they brutally attacked train passengers who were on their way home.

For hours, the subway station was shut from public entry, including journalists and even medics.

The media condemned police brutality against unarmed civilians and the general public demanded for disclosure of CCTV footage at the train station, hoping that police would be held responsible for use of excessive force.

Hong Kong Police, however, denied beating civilians and reaffirmed using appropriate force.

Three years on, defiant Hongkongers continued to seek for the truth of #831PrinceEdwardAttack despite threats and arrests for act of remembrance at the station. 

This year, Hong Kong Police even put up a large wall poster outside the Prince Edward station. Against a blue background, it wrote "Don't be misled by lies." "Believe and See Truth in Facts".

On August 31 2022, dozens of uniformed police and plainclothes officers were seen deployed outside the Prince Edward station on a peaceful day. 

One may wonder what makes act of remembrance of #831Attack a crime? What does Hong Kong police want to cover up so desperately?
