Joint statement by 17 District Councils Reprimanding Arrest of Yuen Long Council Chairman
8 months after Yuen Long 721 Incident, netizens called for a rally in remembrance of victims of gangsters' violence and police's inaction. District councillors were waiting at Yuen Long West Railway Station at about 7 pm to monitor police's operation on site, during which Yuen Long District Council Chairman Wong Wai-yin was arrested for no apparent reason. At around 10pm, Chairmen and Vice Chairmen of 17 District Councils and Pro-democracy Councilors of Islands District Council issued a joint statement reprimanding the arrest, snubbing civilian’s urge to investigate and reveal the truth of 721 incident.
They also expressed in the statement that they would continue to monitor the situation of arrestees and condemned the abuse of violence and the procedures by police force, undermining freedom of Hong Kong citizen.
