[Editor's note: Over the weekend, at least three university students fell victim to police violence: (1) The said student journalist was arrested and intimidated by the police that "raping boys in San Uk Ling is fun "; (2) A voluntary first aider from Shue Yan University suffered a third degree burnt after being hit by a China-made tear gas grenade; (3) A student of the University of Science and Technology is now in critical condition, after a fall in a car park suspected to avoid the police tear gas.]

This morning (Nov 5), students from Hong Kong Baptist University (BUHK) initiated a rally to support the student journalist arrested on Sunday (Nov 4) and request the university to condemn police violence.

Executive Member of Hong Kong Journalist Association, Luther Ng also joined the rally to support the students. He mentioned in his speech, the police were already obstructing freedom of press in June when they shone strong light at cameras, but the sitiation has worsened: They are now pepper spraying reporters on purpose and even arresting them whilst at work.
