“The Lancet” : Hong Kong Police Force should reassess the use of tear gas in densely populated areas
A group of medical scholars published an article on the harmful effects of chemical irritants found in tear gas. They questioned the appropriateness of its usage in densely populated areas and whether any clean-up efforts have been initiated by the Hong Kong government. They also criticized the government for not having educated the general public on how to counter these harmful effects. Secretary for the Food and Health Bureau, Sophia Chan, refuted these claims stating that any citizen who enquire about how to deal with tear gas contamination are given proper guidance. As well, affected public areas have been cleaned regularly.

"UK student left with brain haemorrhage in violent arrest by undercover Hong Kong officers"

//Recently turned 19, K claims the officers did not identify themselves or offer a reason for his arrest as they carted him off to the notorious San Uk Ling detention centre and denied him timely legal and medical assistance. Regular nosebleeds are now a reminder of his physical and mental trauma...
“They kept hitting me with a baton, but I’m actually not sure when my head got hit. The moment they put plastic straps around me then I realised they were police and I had to follow instructions,” K added.
“One of them told me to get up, then when I got up one of them said ‘why are you getting up?’ and put me back on the floor…I think they hit me with the baton again and they kicked my left eye, it was really swollen,” he alleged.
The teenager’s injuries made him dizzy, but he claims he was denied medical treatment until “six or seven hours” later when he was diagnosed with a brain hemorrhage. “The police refused to let me contact a lawyer or my parents,” he alleged.
During that time, he was transported to the remote San Uk Ling detention centre on the border with mainland China, which has been dogged by allegations of abuse, all denied by the police.
K was held in a darkened cell with multiple detainees. “They were soaked in blood like me. The scene was horrible,” he said, alleging that some officers called them “cockroaches.”
Fifteen arrests were made in the street around K, some reportedly involving serious injuries including broken bones.
In the Times’ footage, one arrest shows a pinned protester pleading for mercy while blood spurts from his mouth as an officer kneels on his head while another hits him in the face.//

The statement of the university said:
"ARU’s honorands must be positive role models to our students, alumni and staff, and to the communities we serve. Mr Ho’s conduct since he was honoured has caused increasing concern. Following an investigation, the university has withdrawn Mr Ho’s honorary degree."
