Bodies allegedly piling up next to patients in Hong Kong hospital amid spiralling Covid deaths driven by 'Zero Covid' strategy
On March 9, 2022, the Hong Kong government announced that Queen Elizabeth hospital (#QEHospital), one of the city's largest public hospitals, will be converted to a designated hospital for COVID-19 patients.
While the medical system in Hong Kong is allegedly melting down amidst mounting COVID-19 cases, a shocking photo has emerged on the internet: Bodies were believed to be lying abandoned on stretchers next to living patients.
A registered nurse, who insisted to be kept anonymous, told reporters that the photo was taken inside the Accident & Emergency ward of QE Hospital. There were more than 70 bodies kept in the ward at one time, the nurse added.
The source also said the photo had been taken in early March, and the situation is now under control as workers speed up transfers of the bodies to mortuaries.
The nurse said, although medical practitioners have been facing reduced resources and salary freeze, they continued to commit to their duty and look after patients.
With ever reduced resources, some night-shift nurses have to look after nearly 100 patients during their shift. Nurses are developing emotional problem as their work pressure grew.
In an A&E ward, there were more than 500 patients at one point. It was also believed that some patients died due to unattended rather than COVID-19.

"I hope they did not hurt me on purpose," says Ukranian girl who lost an arm
Sasha, a 9-year-old Ukranian girl, lost her left arm when Russia invaded Ukraine.
The doctor said the injury was critical and Sasha was starting to lose her consciousness when hiding underground. Yet Sasha never cried. "She is exceptionally strong," the doctor said.
After the surgery, Sasha told the press, "I don't know why the Russian people shot me, I hope they did not hurt me on purpose."

‘We fought the good fight’: journalists in Hong Kong reel from assault on media
As the last news programme came to a close and anchors bade farewell to their online audience on 3 January, Chris Yeung, the founder and chief writer of Citizen News, gathered together his staff and tried to strike an optimistic tone.
“Remember our very best memories,” he said, dressed in a blue shirt with sleeves rolled up and a crimson jumper draped on his shoulders. “No one knows what will happen next. Don’t worry. Just remember the happy things.”
It was the day 90 largely pro-establishment legislators were sworn in. The previous evening, the independent Chinese-language news outlet of five years said it was closing. It justified the decision citing a deteriorating media environment and concerns for the safety of its staff.

Hong Kong's immunised who died of #Covid19 mainly got #Sinovac vaccine: Media
//Almost 87 per cent of Hong Kongers who died from Covid-19 after getting at least one dose of vaccine received China-made Sinovac Biotech Ltd's shot, Ming Pao reported, though most deaths occurred among those who weren't immunised.
Most deaths in Hong Kong have occurred among under-vaccinated senior citizens, particularly those living in elderly care homes.
There have been more than 5,400 fatalities in the latest Omicron-driven outbreak, making the city's death per capita the world's highest.//

Chinese in Ukraine Are Trying to Pass for Japanese as Anger Grows over Pro-Invasion Comments by ‘Little Pink’
As #Russia receives overwhelming censure for invading #Ukraine, comments supporting the aggression and deriding Ukrainian women were made on the Internet by the jingoistic #LittlePink and opinion leaders in #China. With the locals getting word of the remarks and anger boiling over, Chinese students in Ukraine are reportedly trying to pass for Japanese. China’s embassy in Ukraine issued an advisory in the early hours of Saturday, 26 February, warning nationals against openly identifying as Chinese and displaying the Chinese flag.
In a clip circulating on Twitter, a Chinese man claiming to be a student at Ukraine’s National University of Life and Environmental Sciences notes that some of his compatriots are making derisive comments on the Internet like “It’s a good war they’re waging in Ukraine—the more deaths the better. That way I’ll be getting a Ukrainian girl as wife”. With the remarks translated into English and Russian and having made their way to Ukraine, he says, Chinese students in Ukraine are finding themselves isolated.
“I just got a message saying that many in China are making gibes on the Internet like ‘It’s a good war they’re waging in Ukraine—the more deaths the better. That way I’ll be getting a Ukrainian girl as wife’,” the student reports. “You know the Ukrainian media have picked them up and translated them, and now basically every Ukrainian knows about them. Down in the bomb shelters in the Kyiv subway, old ladies and young people went asking Chinese students if they really feel that way. A lot of us are now scared to stay there. To all the keyboard fighters in China: show some respect and give us a chance to live.”

Can China be trusted? As the Russia-Ukraine war shows, #Beijing often says one thing and does another
//The war in Ukraine helps to explain this paradox. Less than two months before Russia’s invasion, Chinese President #XiJinping told Ukraine President #VolodymyrZelensky that he attached “high importance to developing the Chinese-Ukrainian strategic partnership.” But only weeks later, Xi and his Russian counterpart, #VladimirPutin, declared that their countries’ budding alliance had “no limits.”
...There is debate regarding the extent to which Xi and other Chinese officials had advance knowledge of the invasion. If they did, that makes them complicit in aggressive war and ongoing Russian war crimes in Ukraine. It would also mean that claims of ignorance by Chinese officials are not to be trusted.
And if they didn’t have knowledge of the invasion, the Russians didn’t trust them enough to give forewarning. Either way, there’s distrust of China.
...According to reports, Russia has requested that China provide it with weapons to bolster the assault on Ukraine. It is unclear whether China will fulfil that request. Chinese writing on bomb fragments in destroyed Ukrainian hospitals and schools – favourite targetsof the Russians – would not be good for China’s reputation.//

When a ray of light becomes a crime
By Translated by Guardians of Hong Kong, June 7, 2021 • 15 March 2022
Author: Vivian TAM Wai-Wan
Mr Hui is 30 year old and trendily dressed. His hair is perfectly styled and he wears a few earrings on his left ear. Last night he wore a brand new white shirt with a slim black tie.
At 8pm he got a white candle and a black paper cup as a windshield from a volunteer in the commercial district of Causeway Bay. He held the lit up candle and slowly walked towards Victoria Park. He was stopped by a police right across the road opposite the park. At this point, half of the candle was burnt and the paper cup filled with candle tears.

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.

As families across the Chinese-speaking world gather to celebrate the advent of the Year of the Tiger on February 1, the Cantonese festivities across the U.K. in the coming days will often be a bitter reminder of separation from loved ones and from the places where they grew up.

Hong Kong Authorities Accuses UK National Benedict Rogers of Threatening China's National Security
On March 23, 2022, the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute (#IBAHRI) calls on the international community to suspend extradition treaties with #HongKong.
#BenedictRogers, a British citizen and co-founder of #HongKongWatch received a letter from the Hong Kong #NationalSecurityBureau. In addition, the #HongKongPolice issued a notice to Rogers on 10 March 2022, orderinv him to take down the website of Hong Kong Watch within 72 hours of receipt of the notice.
Hong Kong authorities claimed that the website of the NGO posed a threat to China’s national security.
In a statement, the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute warned that "more than 160 people have been arrested and over 50 civil society organisations have been forced to close in Hong Kong since the National Security Law was enacted in June 2020."
While Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States, have suspended their extradition agreements with Hong Kong, countries including the Czech Republic, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea and Sri Lanka still have an agreement with the Hong Kong government.
The International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute pointed out that "travelling to these countries poses a threat for human rights defenders who may be targeted with the National Security Laws and extradited to Hong Kong to face charges."

In a statement, the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute warned that "more than 160 people have been arrested and over 50 civil society organisations have been forced to close in Hong Kong since the National Security Law was enacted in June 2020."

The International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute pointed out that "travelling to these countries poses a threat for human rights defenders who may be targeted with the National Security Laws and extradited to Hong Kong to face charges."
