Hong Kong Police Participation Sparks Protests at World Police and Fire Games in Winnipeg
The World Police and Fire Games recently concluded in Winnipeg, Canada, with a closing ceremony on August 6th. The event drew attention due to the participation of the Hong Kong Police Force. A local organization "Winnipeg Hong Kong Concern" led a protest outside the venue, joined by around 30 Hong Kong residents.
During the protest, the group chanted slogans in English, calling the Hong Kong police "killers" in reference to their actions during the 2019 #AntiELAB protests, and demanding their return to China.
Some officers from the Hong Kong police delegation filmed and recorded the protesters with their cameras, even challenging them to confront them directly. "Bring it on", some officers shouted at the protesters.
Local authorities, including the Winnipeg police, were present to maintain order at the site. They advised the protesters to disperse peacefully for safety reasons. Despite this, the advocacy group expressed their determination to continue protesting and closely monitor the Hong Kong Police, emphasizing that they will observe them until their departure from the airport.
Bryan, a member of the Winnipeg Hong Kong Concern group, spoke to Radio Free Asia, expressing concerns about whether the Hong Kong Police would leave Canada promptly after the Games. He also called into question whether the Hong Kong officers' photographing of the protesters were aimed at gathering information about Hong Kong residents in Canada.
The advocacy group issued a separate statement following the protest, urging Canadian authorities to investigate the decision made by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) regarding the participation of the Hong Kong police in the 2023 World Police and Fire Games.

Jan 11: The families of political asylum seekers who have sought refuge outside of Hong Kong are reportedly facing harassment by the Hong Kong police. These individuals, who have fled the city due to political persecution or concerns for their safety, are now witnessing their loved ones being targeted back home. Such harassment not only adds to the distress faced by these families but also raises concerns about the reach and tactics employed by the Hong Kong police. The international community continues to closely monitor the situation and advocate for the protection of human rights and the safety of those seeking political asylum. #HongKongPolice #PoliticalAsylum #HumanRights
