Civilians Encourage and Stand in Solidarity With Arrestees
2042 | #CausewayBay
A long queue of black-clad civilians, who were arrested by riot police earlier, were transported to police station and detention centre by a coach. Other bystanders kept shouting, reminding the arrestees to look at the camera and shout out their names. It has, unfortunately, become a routine as numerous cases of "suicide" occurred last year.
They also encouraged the arrestees to "Hang in there" in order to show solidarity. Meanwhile, heavy-handed deployment of riot police could be seen.
