Heavy police deployment against peaceful protest and home-heading civilians

1945 | Yuen Long

Dozens of officers have been deployed to Yuen Long MTR Station in anticipation of citizens gathering to remember 7.21 Yuen Long attack. So far, they seem to only be observing the scene.

Few civilians stopped to gather, perhaps because of the recent surge in number of Wuhan Pneumonia cases, or heavy fines for violating the gathering ban. However, police officers could be seen standing close together in groups of ten or more; they do not seem to be bothered at all by the ongoing epidemic.

Heavy police deployment could also be seen outside the bus terminus, where civilians had to pass by in order to head home. No protests were seen at the spot so far.

HK District Councilor saddened for less street activism and potential imprisonment over national security breach

2010| Yuen Long

Lam Chun was one of the 53 pro-democracy activists arrested in early January, 2021 for alleged violations of the #NationalSecurityLaw.

In the video, Lam admitted less resources in pro-democracy street activism following the imposition of the National Security Law and the heightened social distancing restrictions.

He said, “when I was arrested earlier this month, I was concerned about being detained or even imprisoned, because that will mean even less resource will be available for the remembrance activities of the Anti-ELAB movement, for instance, on the 21st and the 31st day of every month.”

When talking about possible prison sentence, Lam said activists are now facing ever severe consequences than rioting. Instead of 10-year imprisonment, they could be put behind bars for a life time.
