Today is the 2nd anniversary of #721YuenLongTerroristAttack. On July 21, 2019, a triad of armed mobs, dressed in white t-shirt, indiscriminately attacked civilians at Yuen Long metro station. However, #HKPolice refused to protect innocent civilians. They escaped from the scene.
And now, some of the victims and journalists are charged. None of the mob members who attacked them, were charged. The HK government is trying to bury the truth and silence of #HongKongers under National Security Law. However, we will never forget 721 attack.

"Are you happy?" the judge asks Lam Cheuk-ting during the trial. Lamresponds, "I'm not happy at all. It's not something that should have happened. Why would I be happy when someone is hitting my mouth and causing it to bleed?" The judge clarifies, "I'm not asking if you're happy about being attacked, but if you're happy that hundreds of thousands of people watched the livestream." Lam reiterates his discontent, questioning the joy in such a disturbing incident being witnessed by many. This raises concerns about a fair trial. #HongKong #721terroristattack #721yuenlongattack

721 五年，今年警方部署與以往不同，完全不在元朗站一帶安排人手站崗，傍晚過後陸續有市民到元朗站一帶逗留；到晚上約 9 時，十多名市民在元朗站 G 出口，亦即兩名軍裝警員調頭走的出口，一同舉五一等手勢，亦有人展示「自由」毛巾。
"On the 5th anniversary of 721, there was a notable change in police deployment in Yuen Long. No officers stationed near Yuen Long Station, and citizens gathered in the area in the evening. Around 9 PM, a group of over 10 people, near the G exit where two armed officers turned away, raised the five-finger and "freedom" towel gestures. #721YuenLongAttack #YuenLong #721

Official narratives and court interpretations of the 7.21 incident have changed over five years. The government initially described it as an 'attack' on unarmed citizens but later shifted to 'collective brawl' with equal force on both sides. Court judgments referred to 'collective loss of rationality' and 'vigilante justice' by the white-clad individuals. The recent conviction highlighted the online instigation for reclaiming Yuen Long and mutual violence between white-clad and black-clad individuals. The verdict emphasized that resorting to violence and using force had consequences for both parties. #721Anniversary #YuenLong #CCPPropaganda #721YuenLongAttack
