The Hong Kong's First Youth Volunteer Society 第一青年會義工團 and the Guangzhou-Hong Kong-Macau Daxi Dong Clansmen Company Limited 粵港澳大溪東同鄉會有限公司 are
registered and established quite recently.

Q: What happened previously on Aug 5 that raised citizens and reporters' enormous concern over their safety and need of self-defense in the presence of the Fujian Gang?

A:
1. The police's selective enforcement of the law (also revealed on 15 Sept)

2. The Fujian community is known for their collectivity.

The red shirts they worn as 'uniform' on in their operation on 5 August were printed with profane sentences written in Min (a language spoken by many Fujianese): "I xxx am Fujian", "xxx your mother" etc.

After assaulting random people on the streets on 5 August, the Fujian Gang went into hiding in the headquarters of The Hong Kong's First Youth Volunteer Society. One of the Society's board members Qiu Zongyuan was then seen waving a cleaver on the site.

Helmets Revealed Police Disguised as Protesters again?

Follow up of 9.23 Clash outside the Prince Edward Station

When dispersing the crowd mourning the suspected deaths outside the Prince Edward MTR Station, police were seen wearing helmets marked with a black bauhinia symbol, an icon widely circulated among the protesters.

The same type of helmet was used by the police "raptor" squad and seen used by a number of protesters. The sighting alarmed USP reporter of the recent cases of police infiltration among the protesters.

USP reporter located a similar model of the helmet on the Internet (https://www.teamwendy.com/products/helmets-accessories/helmets/exfil-ltp).
A touch fastener is found at the spot of the black bauhinia label, which actually allows the easy attachment and removal of any label.

Facing Police Complaint, News Editor said "Justice is ever present in the hearts of Men"

While the pro-democracy protests enter the fifth month in Hong Kong, Police hinder journalists from reporting and even assault and arrest journalists. On November 4, six journalists, including Stand News, wore helmets with the signs: “Investigate Police Brutality, Stop Lying” at the Police Press Conference. The Police ended the press conference prematurely.

The Police Public Relations Branch issued letters to news outlets on behalf of the Commissioner of Police Stephen Lo Wai-chung, stating that the journalists had affected other journalists' "right of investigation" and prevented the public fron recieving "important information' from the Police. The letter also stated that "the Police found the incident highly regretable, and thus wrote a letter to express their dissatisfaction towards the incident."

Stand News Chief Editor responds, "Justice is ever-present in the hearts of Men."
