Injured First-aider on Nov 2 Confirmed to be a Freshman of the Hong Kong Shue Yan University

Watch video of the happening:
https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/9707

Confirmed by the Student Union of Hong Kong Shue Yan University (HKSYU), a freshman of the university was injured by the tear gas grenade tossed by the police at a tram stop on Percival Street, Causeway Bay on November 2.

At that time, the student serving as a voluntary first aider was not wearing any respirator mask. He felt sick and was in shock after inhaling a large amount of gas. After being sent to the hospital, the medical staff confirmed that there were large areas of burn damage at his back.

The Student Union strongly condemns such police brutality. It reiterates that police conduct was unreasonable, considering that the student was just to provide emergency medical services, and that there were only reporters and medics on both sides of the street. The police’s actions not only grievously harmed the student, but also endangered medics, reporters, and citizens at the scene.

The Student Union urge the University to take a stand on such injustice, provide assistance to the injured student, and condemn police for imposing violence on students and others by using highly dangerous tactics and weapons. The University should also seek for the establishment of an independent commission to investigate police brutality and take further actions to protect its students.

Police fired pepper balls at pedestrians without warning in Mongkok

At 00:16 (Nov 3) in Mongkok, riot police rapidly pushed forward to Sai Yeung Choi Streer then - without any warning - fired pepper balls at crowds and reporters on the sidewalk merely meters away.

A number of citizens were hit, and began to suffer effects such as vomiting, coughing, irritation on their skin and throat. First-aiders attended to them and helped wash off the irritants. One affected person was indignant: "There's nowhere to run! We were already on the sidewalk and we still got shot!"

Another woman was pepper-sprayed while trying to reason with the police. Her face was red from the pepper spray and her eyes were swollen to the point where they couldn't open. Police denied first-aiders from approaching her; she eventually managed to leave the cordon line on her own, at which point several first-aiders attended to her injuries.
