Spinal disc dislocated: pro-democracy legislator Ray Chan dragged across the floor in LegCo Scuffle
Beijing loyalist: I was just taking the trash out
Scuffles broke out on May 8 in the highly controversial LegCo House Committee meeting chaired by pro-Beijing legislator Starry Lee. Beijing loyalist Kwok Wai-keung was filmed holding onto the collar of pro-democracy legislator Ray Chan's shirt, causing him to lose balance, and dragging him across the legislature's chamber.
Kwok responded to the incident today, likening himself to a janitor "taking out the trash". He counterclaimed that he was only trying to stop Chan from being too close to the podium.
Chan was diagnosed with inter-vertebral disc dislocation upon visiting the emergency room. He plans to file a police report and sue Kwok.

Police Ignore Assault Case, Pro-democracy lawmaker: "Does the rule of law only serve Beijing loyalists?"
Pro-democracy lawmaker Ray Chan of People Power was pulled and dragged along the floor by Beijing loyalist Kwok Wai-keung of Federation of Trade Unions, during the Legislative Council's House Committee meeting on May 8. The clash has caused Chan's spinal disk to slip.
On May 11, Chan made a report to the police at the Police Headquarters. Chan condemned the police for taking no action, despite that the assault has been filmed and broadcast in the news. Chan said the police called him, but only to tell him "not to have more than 8 people [the gather ban]".
Chan plans to launch a private prosecution against Kwok, but has to crowdfund HK$1 million. Chan expressed his utmost disappoinment at the police and Department of Justice: "Is the rule of law only serving the Beijing loyalists?"

Pro-democracy Lawmakers Fined Unreasonable Amounts for "Pungent Objects"
LegCo chairman Leung Kwan-yuen stated during the meeting concerning the Chinese National Anthem Law on Jun 4 that pto-democracy lawmakers Ted Hui Chi-fung, Ray Chan Chi-chuen and Chu Hoi-dick threw “pungent objects” in the legislative chamber.
The Legislative Council Commission slapped Hui with a fine of $52,000, and the other two with fines of about $100,000. Leung stated that Hui did not respond much to the charged. However, Chan and Chu questioned the calculations which contributed to the resulting fine. Leung suggested that the secretariat should use the lawmakers’ salaries to pay off their fines.
The fee owed by Chan and Chu included, “electrician fee for changing ventilation components to remove the smell” (HK$2,357), cleaners' salaries ($3,923), electricity fees for carpet drying ($13,658), changing and replacing of carpets ($103,204), replacing tables and chairs ($62,350), replacing computer monitors ($8,228), secretariat staff salary for following up on the clearing and repair services ($23,609) and replacement of security staffs' uniforms (Chan: $2,350; Chu: $4,007). The total fee for Chan is $111,014.5 and $112,671.5 for Chu.
The Legislative Council Commission also asked two former Youngspiration lawmakers, Leung Chung-hang and Yau Wai-ching to pay $930,000, including their salaries and operation costs.
The Commission has stated that they will respond to Yau’s suggestion for repayment, but have yet to respond to Leung’s bankruptcy application.
