Truth & Justice will Prevail - Hongkongers vow to seek truth in young pro-democracy student's death
#ChanYinLam, a 15-year-old student in Hong Kong, was found dead on 22 September 2019 off the coast from Tseung Kwan O. Given that her body was found naked, and she was an agile swimmer and diver according to various news reports, her death triggered a lot of speculation, pointing at possible police brutality.
A year and 5 months later, on February 22, 2021, pro-democracy supporters continued their monthly ritual of paying tribute to Chan and other victims of police brutality during the anti-ELAB movement.
Over ten lightboxes were lit in the school campus of Hong Kong Design Institute where Chan was last seen, with candle lights, paper cranes and white flowers.
Chan’s supporters called on Hongkongers to fight on and never cease seeking the truth of Chan’s death.

Judge Slams Prosecution of #YuenLong721 a wasting of the court’s time
The magistrate Eddie Yip Chor-man spent the morning questioning the prosecution’s opening statement, in which the prosecution mentioned multiple times that a “violent confrontation took place” between the while-clad and black-clad, but did not provide any detail of the confrontation.
Yip questioned that, “Does 'violent confrontation' mean the two parties fought each other?” and “who fought whom first” in the “violent confrontation”.
In response, the prosecution clarified that it was the white-clad who hit the black-clad with rattan canes and wooden sticks while the black-clad counter-attacked.
Magistrate Yip expressed dissatisfaction, blasting the prosecution, “Are you writing a flashback or a time-travelling novel? We’re not making a film. It looks like you have edited that film!”
He later concluded that, “It turns out that the 6 (Chinese) characters (violent confrontation taken place) have encapsulated a lot.”
The Magistrate also questioned why the prosecution detailed a screening event on 16 Jul in the first 2 paragraphs of the statement.
The prosecution ended up admitting that the screening event was irrelevant and was slammed by Yip of wasting time.

Over 10,000 People Arrested: 2 Years After the 1-million Pro-Democracy Protest in Hong Kong
Jan (alias), a 17-year-old Hong Kong youth, was charged with rioting.
In the end, he chose to plead guilty.
During a junior high school field trip, Jan visited a prison in Hong Kong. At the time, he thought, "I would never go to jail in my life. What's the point of the visit?"
He never imagined that in just a few years, he would be imprisoned because of a pro-democracy movement.
During a relatively mild clash, Jan was arrested on a charge of unlawful assembly. While he was detained, however, the police suddenly changed his charge to rioting. This was a complete surprise to Jan, and he thought the new charge was ridiculous.
His lawyer eventually managed to secure approval for his bail, though with strict curfew conditions. "I've lost most of my freedoms well before they declare me guilty," Jan said.
During a meeting, his lawyer explained to him that the police already had enough evidence to make the rioting charge stick. His mother immediately broke down in tears; Jan himself was overwhelmed by lethargy, staying up late and skipping school for a whole month, only imagining what prison life would be like.
Eventually, he decided to plead guilty, since it would lead to his sentence being reduced by one-third. After the court hearing, he saw forum posts questioning his plea when he had done no wrong. He was perplexed at their thinking. "'If your heart is truly in this movement,' I thought, 'why would you want any of us to get a longer sentence?"
---
As of April 2021, the Hong Kong Police has arrested over 10,000 people in connection to the 2019 Anti-ELAB movement. Among them, 1,700 were minors.
As of June 7, 2021, according to statistics provided by Stand News, 757 people are charged with riotting. 70% of them are below 25 years old and 75 of them are underaged. As of April 13, 2021, 28 people have been convicted. 23 of them have been sentenced; the longest jail time among them is 5 years and 6 months.

Lest We Forget: The Tearful Day Outside the #LegCo Building
June 12, 2021 marks the two year-mark of the first large-scale police-civilian clash in the #AntiELAB movement in Hong Kong.
Two years ago, pro-democracy Hongkongers surrounded the Legislative Council building, with a hope to prevent the second reading of the amendment bill that proposed extradition to China.
Despite the peaceful rally, the police deployed #TearGas grenades and shot #RubberBullets at unarmed civilians, causing countless injuries in the crowd.
Whereas the police was condemned on an international level for their abuse of power and use of violence, the authorities in Hong Kong insisted in categorizing the pro-democracy rally in the Admiralty area as a "riot".
The government's reaction infuriated many citizens, causing over 2 million people to take part in Hong Kong's largest protest in history on June 16, 2019.
