August 11, 2019: Hong Kong Police Fire Bean Bag Round into the Eye of a Female First Aider
At around 7:30pm in Tsim Sha Tsui on August 11, 2019, the police headshot a female voluntary first aider outside the police station.
The bean bag round cracked the eye shield of the girl and went into her right eye, causing the rupturing of her eyeball and breaking her eyelid and maxilla.
On the same day, some pro-democracy protesters arrested in the area were sent to the notorious San Uk Ling Holding Center next to the border with China, where tortures and sexual assaults by the police would later be uncovered.

Brave One-man Protester Commemorates Airport Protests Alone and Forcibly Removed by Security
Protestors occupied the Hong Kong International Airport (#HKIA) on this day in 2019 during Anti-Extradition Bill (Anti-ELAB) movement. Netizens initiated the one-year anniversary of the unforgettable airport protest as a “Lunch with You” protest at 1 pm on August 13.
However, the only person who showed up was David, a regular “Lunch with You” protester. When he arrived at the airport bus terminal station at noon, he was dressed in blue and quickly stopped and searched by a large amount of airport security guards.
Despite the security guards' order to leave the airport, David ignored their warning. At 1 pm, he took out a blank white paper, raised hands with a gesture of “Five and One”, and shouted slogans such as” “still alive, flight till the end,” and “five demands, not one less”.
During that time, security guards continued asking him to leave. But, he was discontented and said, “I am sightseeing here. Why can’t I stay here? I am waiting for the bus.” After that, dozens of security guards forced him to go to the bus stop and pestered him for some time. A security guard instructed him to get onto a bus going to Yuen Long and surrounded the exit to stop him from getting off. He clearly stated, “I don’t have money. If you don’t let me get off, this is false imprisonment. I have a right to get off.”
Before the bus started moving, six to seven security guards got into the bus suddenly, and staff in the bus station gave a signal to the bus driver to Leave. Then, the bus left.
