"7.21: The Unfinished Case": Video Report by #IndependentJournalists Reviews Records of #YuenLongAttack, Victims Speak Up as they Revisit the Scene

Part 1 of 3

The man walked around the Yuen Long MTR station with a tablet on his hand, which was replaying a video clip of the 7.21 attack. "It should be here .... No wait, a little further forward ... yes, this is the spot."

Galileo is one of the victims of the 7.21 Yuen Long Attack. 3 years ago, he saw former Stand News journalist Gwyneth Ho being assaulted, and rushed forward with several others to restrain the attackers. However, the attackers quickly turned on him; he was swarmed by 6 or 7 of them, and beaten with umbrellas, canes, and wooden sticks.

On the third anniversary of the attack, a group of independent journalists compiled a special video report titled "7.21: The Unfinished Case".

The group includes the award-winning former RTHK producer #BaoChoy; they interviewed several victims and witnesses of the attack, and revisited the scene of the attack at the MTR station, attempting to piece together the truth of the incident.

Interviewee: "Not a Group Fight, Only Being Assaulted"

The report strings together several scattered video segments, including live reporting by #StandNews, phone videos from citizens, security cameras from nearby shops, as well as videos by the recently-shut-down #FactWire.

The video presented several iconic moments of the night of July 21-22, 2019: men in white shirts distributing bamboo sticks from their vehicles, riot police repeatedly making way for the white shirts to leave by car, police officers patting the shoulders of the white-clad men, pro-Beijing lawmaker #JuniusHo shaking hands with the white men.

The interviewees said that there were over 200 white shirts involved that evening, but only 7 had been convicted of rioting and intentional bodily harm.

Galileo, who agreed to show his face in his interview, remarked that the nature of the 7.21 incident "was not a group fight; it was purely a case of being attacked and assaulted." He believed that there may currently be fewer than 10 people who would be willing to comment on the 7.21 incident, considering the way the government had characterized the incident as well as the law today. However, he insisted on speaking out on his own experiences and thoughts: "I stand by my principle: I say what is true."

The video report also interviewed a shop owner who provided CCTV footage. "I don't want the truth to be drowned," he said. He also remarked that he seem to have been stalked because he accepted the interview, and had to check himself into a hotel in order to stay safe.

Before the camera, he shared that "the feeling of being unsafe now surrounds Hong Kong, including everyone who had spoken up, or had provided evidence, or had taken a stance contrary to the regime's."

"'The truth will eventually prevail,'" he said, almost cynically. "But when is 'eventually'? In ten years? Twenty? Thirty?" He hoped that he would live to see it. He stressed, however, that even though it seems the truth could not prevail now, the chance will be gone if he doesn't speak up.

Production Team: "Awaiting the Day when the Full Truth is Revealed"

The production team consisted of several anonymous independent journalists, including Bao Choy, who was a former RTHK producer of the Hong Kong Connection episode "7.21: Who Owns the Truth", and had been convicted by the authorities for making false statements in the process of routine investigation of records when producing the episode.

The team emphasized that they did not belong to any media organization, and did not have a news platform. They thanked various independent media for their efforts in sharing the production. As independent journalists, they said, the team did not have salary or sufficient resources, but nevertheless completed the production and held to their professional principles.

They spoke of an interviewee who had been stalked for providing security camera footage, and had to live in fear of retribution. However, they had no regrets for bringing the evidence to light. Another interviewee described the process of seeking the truth was like continuously running into dead ends, but insisted on "continuing to do whatever I can."

The team saluted the interviewees: "They clearly understood that in these circumstances, very few people still dared to speak up publicly about the 7.21 attack. Yet they are still willing to be named and be interviewed on camera."

There were some among the truth-seekers who had been forced to leave the city, while others chose to stay. However, the team said, they are all waiting for the day when the full truth is revealed.

Their goal in producing this report, they said, was only to "put on record more evidence of this serious incident of assault."

MTR Ad Campaign Alludes to 8.31
Local Satire Artist Makes Parody Image on Attack Anniversary

Last week, Hong Kong Science Museum ran an ad campaign in MTR stations promoting its “MTR x Dinosaur Adventure Art Competition 2022”, which complements the Hong Kong Science Museum’s “The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: The Big 8 – Dinosaur Revelation” dinosaur exhibition, including actors in dinosaur costumes running around inside train stations.

Many netizens left comments on MTR's Facebook post alluding to the #831PrinceEdward attack, in which the Police’s Special Tactical Contingent - often nicknamed "Raptors" - flooded into Prince Edward station and attacked passengers indiscriminately, leaving many bloodied and traumatized.

Today, satire artist SurrealHK published this edited image titled "Dinosaurs seen in MTR?! Inspired by #DinosaurAtMTR". No comments have been made regarding today's date, which happens to coincide with the 3rd year anniversary of the #831PrinceEdward attack, leaving much to the reader's interpretation.

8.31

Three years.

After that, another three years. Then three more years ...
Ten years?
We won't forget even after a hundred years.

Pass it on to the next generation.

Persist, Even in Absurd and Dark Times: Citizens Commemorate 3 Years Since 8.31 Attack

Today marked the third year of the 8.31 #PrinceEdwardAttack. People used various methods for the remembrance of the day.  One person held a "Goddess of Democracy"-like model to commemorate outside Prince Edward MTR Station, reaffirming his belief in freedom and conscience: "Shouldn't we stand firm even in a dark era?"

Since the afternoon, numerous police officers had been patrolling at every entrance of Prince Edward Station. But this did not stop citizens from coming: some stood in silence with a white flower; another one held a yellow umbrella with the words "Add Oil, HKers!"; others wore black clothes with slogans "Have you forgotten, or you are afraid to recall?" or "Civil disobedience".

Meanwhile, police conducted stop-and-search on passing pedestrians who wore black shirts or black face masks, or who held white flowers.

A man interviewed by In-Media stated that even though there was a risk of getting arrested, he still needed to do something on these sensitive dates.

"We're living in absurd and dark times," he said, "Does that mean we shouldn't persist [with our beliefs]? I disagree!"  #Hongkongers will never forget 8.31, he added.
