Peace in the Midst of Chaos
A year has passed since the 721 attack, where white-clad triad members, allegedly colluding with the Hong Kong Police Force, attacked civilians and passersby. While it has already been a year, there has been no resolution to this incident. Justice has not been served.
A piece of paper with the words, "May everyone stay safe in the midst of the chaos. See you at the bottom of the 'pot' (a term used by Hongkongers for the Legislative Council's protest point)" was found stuck to the parapets of an overpass at YOHO Mall.
There is still a glimmer of hope in the midst of this chaos and darkness.

Pro-democracy Engineer tells Hong Kong Court to "Return the Power to the Citizens"
Part 1:
[Editor's notes: On July 28, 2019, the police fired numerous #teargas canisters and #rubberbullets in #SheungWan in order to disperse the crowd. 44 people were arrested, 21 of them were charged for rioting. The Court extended the trial from November 13 to December 4, 2021.]
In Hong Kong, 20 civilians, including an 26-year old engineer who pleaded guilty earlier, were accused of the riot at the police-citizen conflict at #SheungWan on July 28, 2019.
On December 4, 2021, Kun Kit-Wang, a 26-year-old engineer, defended himself in court in Hong Kong over rioting charges in the 2019 AntiELAB Movement.
Kun pleaded guilty before the trial and was under detention since May when he revoked his bail.
In court, Kun thanked the magistrate for reminding him to find a legal representative in the previous trial, but he still hoped to defend himself.
Kun said that during the 2019 #AntiELABmovement, #July28 was nothing special originally, but because of the Police’s indulgence of the #July21 indiscriminate attack in #YuenLong, that night triggered the most anger from citizens, and resulted in much anger on the rally on July 28.
He used a quote from #MartinLutherKing, "Riot is a language of the unheard", saying that the #riot classification reflects the government’s negligence of the citizens' opinion.
As a result, he admitted to being part of the riot with no hesitation and indicated that the government should feel ashamed of their actions, not the citizens.
He said there were two #rallies with a million people on #Jun9 and #Jun16, 2019, demonstrating the vox populi. Although the peaceful demonstration gained international accreditation, the Hong Kong government still ignored the backlash and made the decision on their own.
He recalled a quote painted on the wall of the #LegCo chsmber on #Jul01, 2019, "It's you who taught me a peaceful rally can't change anything." It expresses the hopelessness, frustration and anger felt by #Hongkongers at the time.
As there had been magistrate that were unknowledgable concerning the protesters' demands, Kun said that the protesters only hoped for having a chance to participate in policy advocacy, which some regard as "returning the power to the people".
If the #HongKongLegCo does not gain authorisation of the people or does not have a peaceful system to resolve problems, it is suppression. #MaoZedong has said, "fight as there is suppression".
He also pointed out that the #ProvisionalLegislativeCouncil (#PLC) installed by the post-handover government in 1997 was not authorised by the citizens. The handpicked council revived the #PublicOrderOrdinance, which became the law behind the prosecution of many dissidents.
As a person bound by the law, he would like to ask, "do I have the responsibility to obey a contract that I disagree with to begin with?”

【獨媒報導】前年7月28日的上環警民衝突中，44人被控暴動罪，其中一宗涉24人的案件，20人暴動、襲警和管有無線電通訊器具罪成，連同另一名開審前已認罪的26歲工程師，押後至今早（4日）於區域法院（取用西九龍法院）作求情。工程師早前解聘律師，今親自在被告欄內讀出陳情書，表示「暴動」的定性正正是政府漠視民意，因此他亦會「直認暴動而不諱」。他又指
