Police detained nearly 60* people at Southorn Playground for more than 2 hours
[*Note: Apple Daily: 70]
Legislator Ted Hui questioned the officers as to why they detained nearly 60* people over 2 hours inside the sports ground. According to Hui, police replied that they were "waiting for the vehicles to come". He saw some people had their hands tied at their back. Another witness added that the police would not allow the detainees to communicate with others. She almost got arrested herself simply for asking for their names.
The female officer at the beginning of the video said to Hui: "You've mentioned many times your six demands. Please use your honorable status as legislative councillor to explain to the people here, that we're not inhumane, that we don't look after their wellbeing, or that they're suffering badly."
