Deadly earthquake rocks western Turkey, Greece
// Rescuers dug through heavy blocks of concrete with their bare hands on Saturday (October 31) in a desperate search for survivors from a powerful #earthquake that levelled buildings across Greece and Turkey, killing at least 26 people.
The quake struck late Friday afternoon, causing a tsunami on the Aegean island of Samos and a sea surge that turned streets into rushing rivers in a town on Turkey's west coast. The US Geological Survey said the 7.0 magnitude tremor hit 14 kilometres off the Greek town of Karlovasi on Samos.
Turkey's disaster relief agency reported 24 deaths and 800 injuries, while in Greece two teenagers died on their way home from school on Samos when a wall collapsed. The scenes of devastation suggests that the toll could rise. //

Hong Kong's Department of Justice Files Appeal After Court Clears Rioting Charges Against Civilians
A District Court judge in Hong Kong had earlier withdrawn a rioting charge against Jackie Chen, a social worker and a council member of the Social Workers’ General Union, citing the lack of prima facie evidence as a reason.
The same judge also cleared the seven other defendants, aged 20 to 27 of rioting charges, saying the prosecution has failed to prove the offences beyond all reasonable doubt.
Government's prosecutors, however, have filed an appeal to reverse the judge’s decision to dismiss the rioting charge of social worker Jackie Chen. The Department of Justice on Oct 5 , 2020 wrote to Chen’s lawyer saying that the court had erred in law and the Department would file an appeal, even before the court handed down detailed reasons for the decision.
Chen said on Facebook that if the court agreed with the arguments put forward by prosecution, she would have to face trial again, but she believed she had the protection of God and support from her lawyer Hectar Pun.

Young Hongkonger Grieves Loss of Freedom of Expression
After being detained and searched by police behind cordon lines, this young protester showed up at Prince Edward MTR station in remembrance of the victims of the 8.31 police attack last year.
The youngster told reporters that he felt that he was being deprived of freedom of expression. He reiterated that Hong Kong used to be one of the world’s freest city. Citizens’ freedom and rights, however, are being eroded, as they are no longer allowed to express their views and stance freely, even when they were not disturbing anyone else.
