Young man arrested for possessing a spray glue – the case is absurd, said District Councillor

January 21 marks the 6th month of the mob-attack incident in Yuen Long West Rail Station, which took place on July 21, 2019. Around 8pm in the evening of January 20, a group of civilians gathered outside the Yuen Long station, some were putting up bulletins on walls.

Around 40 riot police arrived at the scene, and intercepted youngsters. One young man wearing face mask was arrested allegedly for possession of tools that could be used for illegal purposes, as a can of spray glue was found in his possession.

Zachary Wong, Yuen Long District Councillor raised concern over the incident which he considered absurd.

#IPCC Police Review Report Criticised for Being False and Biased

IPCC published its report on the anti-ELAB movement. Yuen Long District Councillor Tommy Cheung commented on the report on 17 May during RTHK’s City Forum program. Cheung said that he did not expect anything from the report: “you can’t be disappointed when you don’t have any expectation, but this report still blew our minds.”

He pointed out that the “facts” in the report were partial. In one instance, the report cited fake news and a fake poster calling for protest in Yuen Long on July 22, 2019 from Chinese social media, Weibo. Though it was known to be fake, the report still claimed that it was from LIHKG forum.

Cheung criticised IPCC for failing to verify its source and questioned the credibility of the report. IPCC council member Chan Kam-wing admitted that they “did not investigate”.

Cheung also indicated that the report reduced the July 21 incident into a “conflict between the black-clad and the white-clad". In reality, the white-clad gangsters did not just attack black-clad citizens, but also train passengers and passersby including a pregnant lady.

Moreover, the report justified the police’s claims such as “I can’t read the watch” and “I can’t see any weapon” as a “public relations” problem. Cheung showed that the report was biased towards the police: For instance, it was mentioned that someone tried to “freeze” the 999 call center, but in reality, they were citizens who tried to seek help.

Former Student Union President of the Education University Leung Yiu-ting, who was arrested during the 8.31 Prince Edward station incident, questioned why the police never seek information from witnesses. This contradicts the police saying that they want to investigate.

Pro-dem Lawmaker Lam Cheuk-ting arrested for "Rioting" in 721 Yuen Long. Author of "Yuen Long Darkest Night" raises doubt and concern

// Regarding Lam Cheuk Ting, my investigation in "Yuen Long Darkest Night" is as such:

At about 19:00 in July 21 2019, an eyewitness saw Lam Cheuk Ting and his colleagues, Chong Wing Fai and Kelvin Sin Cheuk-nam, cleaning up the street booth near Hennessy Road petrol station in Wan Chai, and told people to go home early to rest.

After 20:00, Lam and his assistants had dinner in a tea restaurant in Wan Chai, paying attention to the gathering of white-clothed people in Yuen Long's "Kai Tei" (Area around Kuk Ting Street), with more than five hundred triad members assembled. Lam Cheuk Ting, who grew up inFung Kat Heung, Yuen Long, was very concerned about the incident. After dinner, he decided to go to the middle point of Yuen Long and Sheung Wan- Mei Foo Station to be on guard.

The three of them watched the situation in Yuen Long through their mobile phones on the platform until the photo of Mr. So being beaten came out. At 22:22, Lam Cheuk-ting called Sergeant Tang of Yuen Long Police Public Relations Branch, requesting the police to arrive at the scene as soon as possible to enforce the law, and stated that he would immediately head to Yuen Long Station for incidence observation.

It takes 16 minutes to arrive Yuen Long Station from Mei Foo via West Rail Line. At 22:44, Lam Cheuk Ting and his two colleagues arrived. At the scene, a woman was battered after beaten at her head by a white mob. A scene from livestream video showed that a woman picked up a broken stick, apparantly used for beating civilians. Lam asked the civilians not to touch any evidence at the scene, and said that he had called the police and would wait for the police to come and search for evidence. At the same time, he stated that there were triad members gathering outside, urging the citizens not to go out of the gate. Meanwhile, there was a train arriving at the station. At that time, there were over a hundred men, women and children who were at a loss.

While everyone was discussing what to do next, the white-clothed people outside the toll gate gathered again and attacked the citizens inside the station. At that time, inside the station were civilians returning home from various districts. Between the confrontation of the two sides, Lam stood in the front row, and loudly declared to the white-clothed man that he had called the police: "The police will be here at any minute! Stay right here if you have the balls to!"

Until 23:02, the white-clothed men rushed into the gate again. Lam and the civilians were chased into train carriages and beaten violently. After several rounds of attacks, a large number of civilians were injured. The train drove to Siu Hong Station and Lam was sent to Tuen Mun hospital.

I have four questions:

1. Of course, the riot charges can generally refer to participation in an illegal assembly that "undermines social order." As a member of the Legislative Council, Lam, who was present to perform his supervisory duties, "destroyed social order"?

2. If Lam intended to "destroy social order", why did he take the initiative to call the police before and after his presence?

3. If Lam is accused of participating in the riot, does it mean that all the civilians present participated in the riot, but not the white-clads who launched the terrorist attack?

4. Is the arrest really based on sufficient evidence, or is it a political operation to arouse the public opinion that supports the police force? //
