Volunteer tutors help “dreaming” students with DSE: You are not alone
The government’s push for the Anti-Mask Law has sparked intense retaliations. Many of the student protesters at the front lines, however, still have the DSE (Diploma of Secondary Education) to prepare for, which will start in less than six months. Sadly, none of their efforts for Hong Kong will be credited to their grades. In light of this, some netizens took the initiative to start a platform to recruit tutors. So far, 200 volunteer teachers have volunteered to tutor these students for free, in order to help them make up for all the lost hours. More than just being tutors, many of them end up offering emotional support to these students too, becoming the beacon of hope to the students in such difficult times.

University Students as Victims of Police Violence:
Rally to Support Arrested Student Journalist
[Editor's note: Over the weekend, at least three university students fell victim to police violence: (1) The said student journalist was arrested and intimidated by the police that "raping boys in San Uk Ling is fun "; (2) A voluntary first aider from Shue Yan University suffered a third degree burnt after being hit by a China-made tear gas grenade; (3) A student of the University of Science and Technology is now in critical condition, after a fall in a car park suspected to avoid the police tear gas.]
This morning (Nov 5), students from Hong Kong Baptist University (BUHK) initiated a rally to support the student journalist arrested on Sunday (Nov 4) and request the university to condemn police violence.
Executive Member of Hong Kong Journalist Association, Luther Ng also joined the rally to support the students. He mentioned in his speech, the police were already obstructing freedom of press in June when they shone strong light at cameras, but the sitiation has worsened: They are now pepper spraying reporters on purpose and even arresting them whilst at work.

Police Arrests 3 Students From Nearby Secondary School
1453 | Mong Kok
As the riot police pushed towards Nathan Road, they suddenly dashed into Changsha Street, stopping three students from a nearby girls’ secondary school. However, they were in their school uniforms and carrying their school bags only.
1556 | Mong Kok
The three female students were arrested and sent onto the police vehicle AM8460.
Note: According to lawmaker Alvin Yeung, the police have arrested over 500 civilians as of 1800. Meanwhile, the pro-Beijing camp refused to heed the population's opposition against the National Anthem Bill, where citizens would be required by law to show "respect" to PRC's the anthem.
Police confirmed that over 656 people have been arrested.

The Worst Time to be a Sixth Former
The days spent preparing for public exams are one of the few things that resonate among almost all Hongkongers.
The memories of youth are shared by all - photocopying past exam papers? Should I make my own commemorative book or buy one? What song should I pick for my final singing contest? Where will our prom be held? Shall I study at McDonald's or Starbucks?
For Form 6 students (this year, future recollections of these days will be drastically different. Their frustrations instead are - what route to choose when forming human chains? What activities to organise for the student strike? If you skip school for protests, how many days' absence could you take before being expelled? Still studying at McDonald's? Starbucks? No thanks.
Nok, an active frontliner in the Anti-Extradition Movement and a DSE candidate, has been absent from school for many days. In his interview, he sighed, "I was never really present so I don't have any particularly cherished memories of life in Form 6."
The trials of our time* keep coming. This group of "chosen kids" will not have a chance to properly say farewell to their schools. As nine months of flames and smoke dispersed somewhat, the storm of Wuhan pneumonia drew near. Even the long-anticipated last day had to be cancelled.
As the oldest among the "kids", they stand on the precipice of youth. After going through the public exams, they would either become "chosen ones" or "eliminated adults". Even though social movements do not exclude people, the examination system does.
This year, the DSE was postponed and the study period longer than in past years. During this time, Stand News interviewed ten of this year's candidates with a commitment to the Anti-Extradition Movement to understand their emotions surrounding the past nine months. When the flames and smoke settled, some tried to sort out their emotions and focus on studying. Some were injured by police brutality. Left with psychological trauma, some decided to abandon the exam and recuperate overseas. Others were arrested during protests and are still in custody. They may be taking their exam in jail. Still others were exiled to Taiwan. Not only did they have to abandon the public exam, but they also had to leave Hong Kong.
Before these Form 6 students charge into their next battlefield in life, we documented their hopes and memories.
Editor's Note:
* The context here refers to "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our Time".

Hong Kong Students Deeply Worry About Their Future
Ideologist, a students concern group, called for a rally on June 7 but was objected by the police. The group then set up a booth near the Clock Tower in Tsim Sha Tsui and later in Mong Kok to raise public awareness on the adverse impacts of the law.
The group shared their concerns for the future and the loss of confidence in the government.
Not only that the Education Bureau is indifferent to students' well-being during the coronavirus outbreak, the authorities' enforcement of gathering ban, objection of protests, political persecution and the legislation of draconian laws (e.g. Anthem Law, Nation Security Law) have shown the worsening encroachment of rights and freedom in Hong Kong.

Police Allegedly Kneel on Secondary Schoolgirls During Arrest
At around 19:50 on June 12, 2020 a students' concern group set up a booth in Causeway Bay to explain to the public their plan to go on strike on June 20. The public relations branch of the police promised that the police would not disturb the students.
However, 30 minutes later, the police destroyed the booth and yelled, "arrest all these students", while chasing after civilians nearby including district councillor Tiffanny Yuen.
According to witnesses, the police pushed civilians into the nearby Kimberly Mall and onto the ground, almost causing a stampede. The police arrested 3 members of the student group. They were one university male student and two secondary 5 schoolgirls.
The video recorded that the police subdued two schoolgirls by allegedly kneeling on them.
