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.

Citizens Lay Down White Flowers on 2-Year Anniversary of Student Protester's Death
Today (November 8) marked the second year since the passing of pro-democracy Hong Kong student #ChowTszLok. Citizens around the city brought brocades of white flowers to the site of his fatal fall in remembrance.
During the anti-ELAB movement in 2019, Chow, a 22-year-old university student, fell from the 3rd floor of a car park in Tseung Kwan O as police clashed with civilians in nearby streets.
He died from his injuries in hospital 4 days later, on November 8, 2019.
A Coroner’s inquest was conducted in January 2021 to determine cause of Chow’s death. However, as the jury was unable to decide the causes and circumstances of his death, the coroner pronounced an open verdict.

Hongkongers Pledge to Carry On Deceased Student's Unfinished Quest for Freedom and Democracy
After China's imposition of National Security Law and crackdowns on dissenting voices in what was once one of the world freest cities, Hong Kong has not seen large scale gatherings in remembrance of those who suffered police brutality and sacrificed their lives during the quest of freedom and democracy.
On this night (Novermber 8), defiant Hongkongers continued to pay tribute to #ChowTszLok, a university student who passed away after falling from height in a car park during anti-ELAB movement in 2019.
In a park not far away from the car park, several light boxes with Chow's portrait and a line of white candles had been set up in Chow's remembrance.
A second set of light boxes displayed the citizens' vow to continue their quest for democracy, pledging to Chow that they will "carry on your unfinished journey (代你走下去)."

IPCC Said Nothing Wrong with Hong Kong Police Shooting Journist without Warning during #PolyUSiege
During the Anti-ELAB movement on November 18, 2019, pro-democracy protesters trapped in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (#PolyU) attempted to break through the cordon line; however, the police outflanked them by splitting into 3 routes.
When a journalist from #StandNews was interviewing an arrestee, whose face was covered with blood, a sheriff from the Z4 Police Tactic Unit (#PTU) suddenly shot a #PepperBalls to the journalist's feet without warning.
Two years later, the Complaints Against Police Office (#CAPO) ruled that there was "nothing wrong" and the Independent Police Complaints Council (#IPCC) agreed with the classification.
CAPO replied in a letter regarding the case, claiming that police did not have a choice but to shoot the pepper balls and apply a minimum level of violence to disperse the crowd. The letter said that the aim was to "protect the police and the arrestees" and the reason was that "someone was non-stop chasing after the police" and "the police has asked people on site to leave, but they ignored".
There is a footnote in the letter, claiming that there is either a "misunderstanding," or "sufficient evidence showing the fairness and rationality of the actions carried out under #PoliceForceOrdinance."

Hong Kong Security Head denies brutality in campus arrest during anti-ELAB movement
On December 3, 2021, Chris Tang Ping-keung, Secretary for Security in Hong Kong accused a local press, Stand News, for biased reporting with an attempt to demonize law enforcement authorities.
Tang blamed an inaccurate news report published by Stand News in November 2019. He said, the news which cited an anonymous person, described how the police entered the Chinese University.
In defense, Tang claimed the police did not enter the university campus, but guarded over #2 bridge and stopped people from hurling Molotovs and harrassing the traffic at the Tolo Harbour Highways.
Tang stressed that the Police Force had issued a statement to rebuke Stand News which clarified that the force did not enter the university campus. The same statement also reprimanded Stand News for “glamourizing violence.”
The Stand News looked back into the videos recorded on 12 November 2019 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK). The video showed the police conducting an arrest operation in the afternoon at the campus at east road roundabout.

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.

American lawyer released from prison, says ‘banned’ from Hong Kong after multi-year legal saga
//An American lawyer imprisoned for assaulting a policeman in Hong Kong said Wednesday he was banned from the city after being released, capping a multi-year legal saga.
The confrontation between #SamuelPhillipBickett and the plainclothes officer occurred on December 7, 2019, towards the end of huge and at times violent democracy protests that rocked the financial hub.
The officer, Senior Constable Yu Shu-sang, had forcibly stopped a fare dodger, with Bickett saying that Yu had been “beating and choking” the young man with a baton before he intervened...
In a statement on Twitter Wednesday, Bickett said he was released from prison Tuesday and immediately taken to Immigration Detention before being deported.
He expressed love for the city, where he had worked as a compliance director at Bank of America.
“I have faith that one day I will be able to once again walk the streets of a Hong Kong ruled by law and governed with the consent of its people,” he said.

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?
