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.

Police Allegedly Let White-Clad Gang Insult Pro-dem Lawmakers

Two pro-democracy lawmakers Lam Cheuk-ting and Ted Hui Chi-fung, who were arrested by the police for involving in the pro-democracy protests, were mentioned in the West Kowloon Magistrates on the afternoon of August 27, 2020.

Police turned Lam, a victim of the white-clad gangster attack on July 21, July, from plaintiff to defendant.

Outside of the court, a gang of white-clad people were present. One of them held up his middle finger to interrupt and insult the colleages of Lam and Hui from the Democratic Party who were speaking at the time.

Among the white-clad crowd, some of them had the Chinese flag on their clothes. The white-clad stood right behind the plainclothes and uniformed police. After they kept yelling, the police persuaded them to leave.

In contrast, on August 25, 2020, police arrested 2 citizens for "causing disorder" outside of the West Kowloon Magistrates. The 17-year-old student and the 65-year-old woman arrested were detained by the police overnight. The police also put at least 7 people on the wanted list, accusing them of swearing and gesturing profanity outside of the same court on the previous day.

Since August 24, the West Kowloon Magistrates has been conducting a coroner's inquiry of the death of 15-year-old Chan Yin-lam, who had participated in the pro-democracy protests and was found dead naked in the waters in October 2019. The public cast doubt and concern over the case which the police called it a "suicide" that was "not suspicious". Further skepticism was raised, after the pro-Beijing TV channel TVB broadcast an 'exclusive' interview during primetime with a woman with her face and voice blurred who claimed to be Chan's mother.

In the court, Chan's mother and materal grandfather insisted that Chan was psychologically disturbed. A medical doctor testified that Chan's mother had refused treatment for Chan.
