Water Cannon Vehicle Dyed the Mosque and Shops

Watch Video
(20 Oct) Jeremy Tam Man-Ho, legislator and member of Civic Party was at the scene, witness the whole process and he filmed the specialised crowd management vehicle (water cannon vehicle) driving down Nathan Road, passing Chungking Mansions and towards the Kowloon #Mosque, then stopping in front of the entrance of the Mosque. Without warnings of dispersing by flags nor broadcasting, the vehicle sprayed blue-dyed water at the Mosque twice, hitting reporters and bystanders, including South-Asians; some were even pushed to the ground by the force of the water cannon. Tam was also sprayed with the water mixed with blue-dyed and irritant and he felt unwell.

Passers-by and South-Asians who were sprayed in the eyes with the blue irritant, needed to be treated by saline for eye washing and mouth rinsing. Onlookers at the site described that after the Mosque was sprayed, it turned into a "Blue Mosque", and everyone "was dyed in blue as well". In addition, children walking pass the Mosque were also sprayed. The first-aid volunteers immediately wash the children's eyes and mouth to alleviate their discomfort. After the specialised crowd management vehicle left the Mosque, staff of the affected Mosque immediately wheeled out hoses to wash away the blue dye, and a number of passers-by also cleaned the Mosque's fences with wet wipes.

Ah Fai, a local citizen and other citizens helped to clean the Mosque with tissue paper after the police left.

He knew that his actions does not help much, he said "we could only clean a small portion of the mess, the plants and leaves inside the entrance gates were also tainted with the pepper spray solution. Even the soil for the plants were tainted with dyed-irritant”. Ah Fai suspected that the police purposefully sprayed the Mosque with dye to provoke the religion, "You(the government) said you want to mend rifts, and yet you are the one creating these rifts, rifts between Hong Kong and all religions of the world, or at least a rift with #Islam!"
