Correctional Officers Abuse Pro-democracy Protesters in Prison
It has been reported that pro-democracy protesters have been subjected to torture and inhumane treatment by correctional officers in prison. A Grade One Correctional Officer Hyun Nga-tat (AO1700) was named and was said to have slapped the detainees who sang the protest anthem "May Glory to Hong Kong".
According to Joshua Wong of Demosisto, Hyun has been on vacation and has not returned to his workplace Pik Uk Prison since the news was spread.
The Complaint Investigation Unit of the Correctional Services Department has gone to the prison for inquiry. According to Wong, they were more like conducting a "witch hunt" after the whistleblower, as they questioned prisoners individually for the staff they are familiar with.
According to lawmaker Shiu Ka-chun, the news report released by Apple Daily about the incident was removed in the prison.

#JoshuaWong Reveals Abuse of Pro-Democracy Student in HK's Prison Before Own Trial
Pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong will stand trial on November 23, 2020 with fellow activists Agnes Chow and Ivan Lam. The three might face immediate imprisonment after appearing in court.
One day before the trial, Wong continued to call on the public and the international community to pay attention to the fight for democracy in Hong Kong.
In a Facebook post, Joshua Wong revealed an abuse case of a pro-democracy student in prison by a correctional officer.
Wong was informed that Tony Chung Hon-lam, a student activist and convener of #StudentLocalism who was arrested on National Security charges, went through unreasonable corporal punishment while detained in Pik Uk Correctional Institution.
Without any explanation, the staff demanded him to march for over four hours. Chung was exhausted to a point of having stomach cramps, and yet was still ordered to continue marching.
The correctional services officer Hyun Nga-tat, a Grade One Correctional Officer, is known to have commiited similar abuses. Hyun was infamous for abusing pro-democracy protesters under detention: He once forced those singing "Glory to Hong Kong" to slap themselves.
Joshua Wong ended the post by writing:
"Although there's a chance I could be imprisoned starting from tomorrow, my Facebook page will continue running.
I encourage whistleblowers to supply further information, and hope Yuen Long District councillors could arrange visits to Tony Chung. I believe his lawyer would also be visiting him at a later time.
I solemnly call on the Correctional Services Department to handle the matter seriously. Tolerating intentional abuse by lower-level correctional staff against political prisoners will only bring public condemnation. It has been half a year since abuses in prison came to light. Having it happened again would certainly reignite public anger, and may even lead to legal consequences."
