Riot Police Chase Away Homeless, Throw Away Possessions, Threaten Arrest: “If You Don’t Leave, I’ll Throw You onto the Truck Too!”
On Christmas Eve, the government made the unprecedented move of sending riot police to clear away the homeless from parks. Community groups revealed that police threw away homeless people’s possessions, and threatened them with arrest.
Despite having begged for mercy, one homeless disabled person was threatened by police, who told him, “If you don’t leave, I’ll throw you onto the truck too.”
The Leisure and Cultural Services Department admitted that they had participated in a joint action with the Police. They, however, claimed that they were not targeting the homeless, but were only aiming to improve cleanliness in parks.
