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.

“Is there any trustworthy media outlet left in Hong Kong?” ask Readers of now-defunct Stand News
In Hong Kong, Stand News, an independent pro-democracy media outlet, was forced into closure on December 29, 2021 when 7 personnel linked to the outlet were arrested by the National Security police on suspicion of “conspiracy to distribute seditious publications”.
In late evening on the same day, a young couple, Ah Wai and his girlfriend, who resides in Wong Tai Sin went all the way to the news outlet’s office in Kwun Tong to bid farewell to the reporters.
“We want to thank the reporters of Stand News," said the couple. "We’ve been reading their news reports. Without their hard work, there won’t be anything worth reading [in Hong Kong].”
The young couple used to read #AppleDaily. After Apple Daily was forced to close down in June this year, they switched to Stand News. Although both acknowledged that local authorities were set to crackdown on Stand News, they didn’t expect it to happen that day.
The couple told reporters that they were astonished to learn that senior staff members of Stand News were arrested, and the newsroom being raided. It took a long time for Ah Wai’s girlfriend to settle her mind before she could get back to work. They watched the latest video published by Stand News on its social media, "2021 Tree Cave" and shared that with their friends, regardless of their political orientation.
“I believe disseminating their work is the best way to show our respect to Stand News. Reporters who produced the video would certainly want more people to know about it.”
Ah Wai’s girlfriend continued saying that the last video produced by Stand News has been keeping her company and heartened. “[The video] tells more than how gloomy an era we are facing, it tried to shed lights for us to carry on our lives.”
It is for the same reason that took the young couple to the office of Stand News. “[we] perhaps can’t do anything for the reporters, but we can at least keep them companied.”
She added that pro-democracy media outlets in Hong Kong have been targeted and cracked down one after another in the past 6 months. Stand News was among the few trusted outlets left for her to “learn the fact and true happenings in Hong Kong.”
With Stand News closing down, she sighed and felt losing connection with society.
In her keen voice, she asked the reporters, “is there any trustworthy news outlet left in Hong Kong?”
Inside the office of Stand News in this late evening, many staff members lingered on chatting with each other. Some of them walked by the door where Ah Wai and his girlfriend were standing. Ah Wai’s girlfriend waved to them to say thank you, “thank you for the hard work. I read news reports on Stand News almost every day. They become my long-time companion. I hope you all can find your own way and carry on.”

Hong Kong Citizen News announces its closure 5 years after its establishment
Below is the press’ open letter to its readers:
A farewell from Hong Kong Citizen News
Today is 2 Jan 2022, hkcnews has to say goodbye to all our readers 5 years after our establishment.
It is still in our vivid memory that on 1 Jan 2017, hkcnews was established. During the press conference for announcment, many experienced reporters had expressed their concerns over press freedom in Hong Kong, hoping that hkcnews could uphold the spirit of professionaism, stay true to the essence of journalism, and serve the public. During that time, we "hoped that this tiny step we take could gradually encourage the industry to protect the freedom of press".
Then, albeit facing extremely scarce resources, hkcnews slowly made our tiny stpes, paving our way into the news reporting world. We strove our best to cover exclusive news, data analysis, interviews, investigative reports, feature articles, court news, Chinese news, etc.. Although our coverage might not be the broadest, nor the fastest, but this little team of us has never stopped striving for depth and accuracies in our reports.
We started from having only 10 people in our team, now we are proud colleagues of dozens professionals, and from being a nobody, to hearing people saying they have been reading our articles.
It’s been 5 years. We truly thank all for your support.
─────────
The first news article of hkcnews, published on 1 Jan 2017.
"Hong Kong Citizen News was born on this special new year because we want you all to remember, regardless of situations, that 'This land we cherish, into our bones this love we’ve etched, happy or sad, in life or death, it's still Hong Kong, our land'."
We all love this place, yet with regret, we are not only facing a storm, but a tornado and tsunami.
We have never forgotten the reason we started. Unfortunately, with the radical change in our society, the environment for journalism has been deteriorating. We can no longer strive for our aim fearlessly.
Right in the eye of the typhoon, the little boat of us is in severe situation of waves and winds. We have to first make sure everyone in hkcnews is safe under such dangerous situation.
Therefore it is with utmost sadness that we announce:
Starting from 4 Jan 2022, Hong Kong Citizen News will cease operation. We will stop updating our websites, which will be shut down sometime later.
We sincerely thank our subscribers and readers for all of your support, which we will hold dearly onto, and remember, forever.
All those we have gone through in the past 5 years will be cherished memories of ours.
