Streetside Banners of Song Lyrics for a Season of Heavy Hearts in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, banners with social movement-themed song lyrics appeared on the streets of Mongkok over the past few weeks, in courtesy of Mongkok North District Councilor Siu Tak-kin.
He hung up these banners at locations allotted to him as a district councillor, in order to bring the locals some cheer and blessings.
Citizens joked that these banners "come with sound" and the now-familiar songs seem to play in their heads as soon as they read the lyrics.
The lyrics on the banners read:
"Stars may fade, as darkness fills the air
Through the mist a solitary trumpet flares"
"If I could be by your side, through the good times and the bad -
That's already good enough"
"In the end, this is a revolution without winners
But I wish that you would - please -
stay and bear witness with me"
"If there are rioters on this planet,
Is this what they would be like?"

19-year-old student files a civil claim against HK Police Force: It's a fight for justice
During the anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong two years ago, a 19-year-old pro-democracy student, Pang Yue-him (彭裕謙) was arrested in #MongKok in November 2019 for possessing a #LaserPointer. Pang plead not guilty.
Without seeking legal representation, Pang took defence for himself in prosecution, reviewed the evidence, and cross-examined the witness in English. In June 2021, he won the court case and was acquitted.
Five months later, Pang filed a civil case at the #DistrictCourt on December 1, accusing the Hong Kong Police Force of disclosing incomplete, misleading and incorrect information which could be deemed “misrepresentation”. He claimed a remedy amounted to HK$520,000.
Handling the #CivilClaim case unrepresented, Pang openly acknowledged that the chance of winning the case is slim. He intended to carry on the court case as a fight for justice.
