Jul 9: Hong Kong's Justice Department seeks to overturn former lawmaker Lam Cheuk-ting's acquittal for disclosing an antigraft probe into a police officer involved in the Yuen Long mob attack. Critics argue DOJ's actions raise concerns about protecting the police and preventing public scrutiny. Lam's defense maintains he revealed misconduct, but prosecutors claim disclosure undermines investigations. Lam also faces national security charges. Protests erupted in 2019 over police conduct, demanding accountability and an end to characterizing protests as 'riots.'
