When the Power Authorities Rewrite History: Police Claim They Have No Intention to Siege University in the Battle of CUHK
November 2020 marks the one-year mark of the two battles in the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (#PolyU) during the 2019 Anti-ELAB Movement.
As the authorities had notoriously altered the course of events during 7.21 Yuen Long Triad Attack, many were worried that the same would happen to more and more events in the city.
The Facebook page "No Stake Medical Student" refuted an interview with the police published by Ming Pao Daily point by point with news footages.
The following is a translation of this report by "No Stake Medical Student":
"Today, Ming Pao published a long piece of interview with police officer, with the alias 'X', who stated that the police had never intended to attack CUHK.
In turn, did the tear gas grenades that shown in photod fly to the university's stadium by themselves?
Officer X also claimed that “someone threw petrol bomb and it exploded right in front of the [university] president”.
To retort this with evidence: it was literally the Hong Kong Police Force who first shot tear gas grenades toward the university president Rocky Tuan Sung-chi on that day. After this, a petrol bomb was tossed. The protestors did not provoke the conflict aa it was depicted by officer X.
i-Cable News: "Rocky Tuan did not move forward anymore. Suddenly, the police shot at least two tear gas grenades. (A few seconds later), someone on the hillside threw back a molotov cocktail.
https://youtu.be/SNk9gWJWv58?t=42
The following video clips also recorded the police launching the siege by shooting tear gas grenades for no reason. The police were suspected to have been “attacked by laser gun”.
https://youtu.be/ditOvMqvZKU?t=108
https://youtu.be/bMN0YbVy2pk?t=96
The Ming Pao article also mentioned that “Dover urged to retreat”, “No death record because of the police was very restrained”. All are nothing but fallacy.
In face of rewriting history by the opponent, we can only rely on one and all to spread the truth.
By the way, all these police officer “X”, “Y” and “Z” are vividly proved to be false content, would Facebook make a clear tag as “misleading information”?

HK Police threatens student group exhibiting historical material of democratic movements a violation of #NationalSecurityLaw
On January 31, 2021, five members of #ReturningValiant, a newly established pro-democracy student group in Hong Kong, set up street booths in Shatin and Mong Kok respectively at around 1pm.
The student organizers distributed pamphlets and booklets concerning democratic movements in European and Asian history.
At around 3pm, the two booths were encircled by a large number of police officers. The students at the scene were ticketed and fined for violating the gathering ban.
The students said that the police taunted and threatened them for breaching the National Security Law. The officers took away their materials as "evidence".
In response, the group questioned “if citing and sharing historical events are illegal under the National Security Law, shouldn’t History class in schools also be outlawed.”
In Shatin, the booth was also harassed by a group of Beijing loyalists at around 3pm. Soon after that, the police arrived st the scene and issued fine tickets, took pictures, and ordered them to leave.
One member of the student group said in defiance that they will continue organizing similar events in the future.
In late evening at 9pm, Hong Kong Police Force announced that police officers issued five tickets to 4 male and 1 female, aged between 13 and 24, concerning violation of social distancing restriction (#Article599G) in Mong Kok. In Shatin, another four tickets were issued to 2 male and 2 female for the same reason. The Force denied for confiscating display materials on the scene.

HK Secretary for Security Warns Against Promoting Secession on #DoubleTenDay: "We'll Surely Find Evidence to Prove What You Think"
In Hong Kong, the Secretary for Security, Chris Tang Ping-Keung, warned Hong Kong citizens not to "attempt splitting Taiwan from China", or to "encourage or to incite people to take related actions on October 10", also known as the "Double Ten Day", Taiwan's national day.
In a Sing Tao Daily's exclusive interview, Tang, the former police commissioner and currently Security Chief, claimed that such behaviours are "serious crimes", and the authorities will definitely enforce the law.
Tang also asked, "If there is no intention to split a country, why would you celebrate this date [The Double Ten Day]?"
In the past Double Ten Days, supporters of Taiwan had hosted events in Hong Kong, displaying the "Blue Sky, White Sun, and a Wholly Red Earth" flag of the Republic of China. However, the Flag-raising Ceremony at Hung Lau, Tuen Mun was cancelled in 2020 due to the implementation of the national security law.
Lee Kwok-Keung, Director of Labor Research at the Hong Kong and Kowloon Trades Union Council, indicates that the council have been celebrating the Double Ten Day since 1948. It commemorates the #XinhaiRevolution and the establishment of the Republic of China. He believes that the celebrations cannot be simply equated to secession.
Tang emphasizes that the main point is whether there is an intention to split the country. "If you truly want to separate Taiwan from China, we will surely find evidence to prove what you think and what you do."
The Chinese Communist Party (#CCP) government does commemorate the Xinhai Revolution; in fact, on 9 Oct 2011, a commemoration of its 100th anniversary was held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Then-General Secretary Hu Jintao, then-Premier Wen Jiabao, Vice-Chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi Jinping, former General Secretary Jiang Zemin, former Premier Li Peng, and former chief executive who is also a vice-chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Tung Chee-Hwa participated in that meeting. A huge photo of #SunYatSen, honored as the founder of modern China both on the mainland and in Taiwan, was on display at the center of the hall.

Stand News Records Civil Organisations and Political Parties Lost to Beijing Influence
Since the launch of the National Security Law on 1 July 2020, many civil organizations and political parties were forced to dissolve. In 2021, the political environment had worsened. From Beijing and Hong Kong officials, pro-government parties and CCP mouthpieces, there are non-stopped attacks against Hong Kong opposition parties, leading to a bigger wave of closure of many civil organizations.
According to Stand News, at least 49 civil organizations declared their dissolution since January 2021. The oldest one had a 48-year history since its incorporation.
Those organizations, which were forced to dissolve, typically remove their websites, social media pages, and all the contents in them from public access. This results in the existence of such organizations and events that may be lost to history, and Stand News is now making an effort to record them down before they disappear.

Production of Judgement for all activists court cases. Young Lawyers to gather community powers to fill the gap of Hong Kong History.

Within 2 years, there have been over 2,608 Hongkongers being arrested and charged since the outbreak of 2019 - 20 social movements. Apart from serious cases, Magistracies deal with most of the cases. There is growing public awareness on these cases.
However, while cases in Magistracies do not have judgements for public search, record of these court proceedings can only be relied on reporters and members of public in the courts. They take notes manually and publish the contents in Telegram channels. Yet, no proper complete records of the entire proceedings are kept.

#HongKong Government publishes "correct" view of Hong Kong #History, claims 1997 was not a "#handover"
In the name of reforming the secondary school curriculum, the Hong Kong government had replaced Liberal Studies with “Civic and Social Development”. The textbook content has also been changed to explicitly state that Hong Kong was never a British colony.
In an article uploaded to its website on August 2, 2022, the Education Bureau (#EDB) explained the government's official version of history, saying that the ceremony on 1st July 1997 was not a “handover of Hong Kong” but a “transfer of sovereignty”. The education bureau argues that denying Hong Kong being a former British colony doesn’t mean it rejects Hong Kong’s history of being occupied by Britain, but stresses that the word “colony” was inappropriate.
