Hong Kong Police Whitewash Yuen Long 7.21 White-Clad Gangster Attack

On August 26, 2020, the Hong Kong police tried to rewrite the
Yuen Long 7.21 White-Clad Gangster Attack into a "clash between two camps of similar force, where the white-clad people were being provoked first". Police denied the collusion between the Triad and themselves and changed their earlier record of their absence from 39 minutes to 18 minutes, claiming the statement they made in 2019 was "inaccurate".

Let's look at what have been documented in photos, videos, reporters and civilians' testimonies regarding the happenings in Yuen Long on 21 July, 2019, as we know it:

當權者篡改歷史,
是最致命的武器。

以真相守護公義,
謹守黑白是良知。

When bad things use a stick and lies to harm us, can we use a rope and our will to secure the fragile truth?

There is no place to hide in this post-truth world, but we shall carry on.

*Rope and stick are believed to be the oldest tools of mankind.

Victim of 7.21 Yuen Long Mob Attacks Persists in Seeking Justice Despite the Threat of Arrest

Mr So, a chef in Hong Kong, has wounds all over his back resulting from the attack by white-clad mobs at “Kai Tei” in Yuen Long on 21 July 2019. He opened a thread in LIHKG, an internet forum, on the morning of August 26, 2020, with a heading of “just in case I am arrested. Let me create a post here first”. This came after the police had arrested pro-democracy lawmaker Lam Cheuk-ting, who had been investigating the mob attacks on that day.

In the post, Mr So wrote that he felt shocked, confused and angry about the arrest of Lam, but expected more people to be arrested. He believed that he also had to be ready that he might be arrested one day. Mr. So emphasised he would continue striving for justice and truth through legal procedures, “It’s up to them if they want to arrest me. It’s easy to find a stick to beat a dog.”

Mr. So was off from work on 21 July, 2019 when he was beaten by 20 people after leaving a shopping mall. “I was not capable and had no chance to hit back,” he said.

He was not worried and did not regret to speak openly, “I won’t commit suicide and do not have any mental illness.” He won’t abandon his right striving for the rights to justice and truth of “a group of victims and all Hongkongers”.

While responding to an inquiry of the Stand News, Mr So expressed that he felt ridiculous towards the arrest of the pro-democracy lawmaker Lam Cheuk-ting by the police. “A plaintiff becomes the defendant and Department of Justice (DoJ) withdraws prosecution, so I think I might be the next target. That’s why to sign a note for investigation by opening a forum in LIHKG.”

Granny Wong: Truth of 721 incident will eventually be divulged

Granny Wong was sighted in Yuen Long West Rail Station braving the grip of National Security Law and enforcement of social distancing restrictions in Hong Kong. Despite her old age, Granny Wong displayed of her behaviour, courage and defiance to fight on for democracy and freedom.

Pointing at a movie poster that read “Lie”, Wong wanted Hongkongers to remain hopeful that “lies will be burst eventually like balloons being popped.”

On the evening of 21 July 2019, a large group of white-clad mobsters, allegedly linked to triads, indiscriminately attacked pro-democracy protesters on their way home on a West Rail train with steel rods and rattan canes. At least 45 people were severely injured, including the elderly, children, journalists and lawmakers. Hong Kong Police, suspected of colluding with the white-clad mobsters, has then been criticised for their inaction in the incident amid the attack of innocent civilians.

However, Hong Kong police were attempting to re-write the history as recounting the clashes as "between two evenly-matched rivals" and denied that they were slow to respond.
