What is the Truth that Hong Kong Police are trying to conceal

831 Prince Edward Attack remains one of the most remembered incidents of the year-long pro-democracy protest in Hong Kong in 2019.

The incident took place in Prince Edward subway station in late evening of August 31 2019, when large groups of riot police stormed into train cabinets, where they brutally attacked train passengers who were on their way home.

For hours, the subway station was shut from public entry, including journalists and even medics.

The media condemned police brutality against unarmed civilians and the general public demanded for disclosure of CCTV footage at the train station, hoping that police would be held responsible for use of excessive force.

Hong Kong Police, however, denied beating civilians and reaffirmed using appropriate force.

Three years on, defiant Hongkongers continued to seek for the truth of #831PrinceEdwardAttack despite threats and arrests for act of remembrance at the station. 

This year, Hong Kong Police even put up a large wall poster outside the Prince Edward station. Against a blue background, it wrote "Don't be misled by lies." "Believe and See Truth in Facts".

On August 31 2022, dozens of uniformed police and plainclothes officers were seen deployed outside the Prince Edward station on a peaceful day. 

One may wonder what makes act of remembrance of #831Attack a crime? What does Hong Kong police want to cover up so desperately?
