Citizens Gather for Vigil Despite No Approval
19:19 | #VictoriaPark
Today is the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, which happened on the 4th of June 1989. It has been estimated that thousands of lives were lost after the People's Liberation Army, under the command of the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, opened fire and rolled armoured vehicles and tanks into the square.
Despite today's vigil being one that has not been approved by the police force, people still gathered, just like what they would do on this day, every single year since '89.
Citizens also took the initiative to keep a safe distance away from each other to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Students Among Crowd Gathered for Vigil
20:33 | #VictoriaPark, #CWB
Among the throngs of people who streamed into Victoria Park for the vigil, a number of students still dressed in school uniform were seen. It is a very heartening image, as it brings an assurance to us that the next generation will carry this this flame from our generation.
Meanwhile, flags were seen being waved at the vigil and well, one of it bearing the famous slogan by localist Edward Leung, "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our Times".

Police Points Weapons at Journalists as they Arrest Citizens

A man in a grey shirt was arrested for doing nothing. As the police escorted the arrestee to leave the scene, they raised and pointed their pepper ball guns and pepper sprays at a group of journalists, to form a line of defence.

Riot police seize civilians violently and intimidate reporters on the street
19:48 | Des Voeux Road, #Central
A large group of riot police suddenly charged towards a man in grey t-shirt while yelling at him, “are you participating in this illegal assembly?”
The officers were extremely impolite. They flashed torchlight, shouted for reporters to stay on the pedestrian road while hitting the shields.

Reporters barred from entering metro station to cover police operation
20:51 |#Central
Waving their batons and pepper guns, a team of riot police charged towards protesters walking down the metro station. While reporters wanted to follow the officers, they were barred outside the metro station, apparently deprived of their rights to report the happenings inside the station.
Editor's Note: An uncanny comparison could be drawn between today's operation and the operation on 31 August in Prince Edward Station.

Police stopped reporters from covering their operation targeting black-clad protesters
20:56 | #Central
Instead of respecting press freedom and letting reporters into the metro station to cover police operation, police officers chose to “report” the operation in their own words through microphones, repeatedly emphasizing that it is just “another routine operation”.
Peeping through officers standing at the entrance of metro station, it was seen that the stop-and-search operation was targeting young, black-clad protesters.

Police Ignores Civilians Receiving First Aid, Tells Press and Civilians to Move Back
2220 | Lee Tung Street
PPRB officers could be seen ordering press and surrounding civilians to move back from the sidewalk, ignoring civilians receiving first aid in front of them after police fired 20-30 shots of pepper balls and pepper spray at them.
When the officers heard reporters stating that first-aid is underway behind them, the officer simply said "Sure, keep saying that."

Police Mocks "Black Lives Matter" Movement and Harasses Reporter
20:24 | #YauMaTei
A busker was surrounded by a group of riot police and had his ID taken down by them. The same group of riot police officers then proceeded on disperse the bystanders at the scene. The busker was later escorted to safety by a journalist and left after the scene after getting searched by the police.
While all these were happening, a police officer suddenly started to harass one of our reporters, repeatedly chanting in front of the camera “Black Lives Matter” and “I Can’t Breathe” in an attempt to mock the protests going on in the US. These slogans stemmed anti-racism campaigns in the US.
Shortly after, the same police officer queried our reporter in Mandarin, about where she was from and commented that the Hong Kong Police Force was way better than the law enforcement in the country of our reporter.
