Today Marks the 8th Month Of Yuen Long 721 Attack: MTR Shutting Down Most Yuen Long Exits From 4p.m
On 21 July 2019, police were absent when an armed mob brutally assaulted civilians in Yuen Long MTR station and on the streets. The attack has scarred the hearts of many Hong Kong people: Not that it took the police as long as 39 minutes to arrive, but also there were reports about the police turning a blind eye to the attacks.
Today (21 March) marked the 8th month since Yuen Long 721 Attack. MTR yesterday claimed that Yuen Long Station and Long Ping Station will be opened as usual. However, the Corporation suddenly announced to close Yuen Long Exit A, B, J, K and H at 16:00.
According to Stand News and HKGolden livestream, police have been deployed in the station before 4p.m and conducted stop and search. A teeenager was frisked by the police and escorted to the control room.

Joint statement by 17 District Councils Reprimanding Arrest of Yuen Long Council Chairman
8 months after Yuen Long 721 Incident, netizens called for a rally in remembrance of victims of gangsters' violence and police's inaction. District councillors were waiting at Yuen Long West Railway Station at about 7 pm to monitor police's operation on site, during which Yuen Long District Council Chairman Wong Wai-yin was arrested for no apparent reason. At around 10pm, Chairmen and Vice Chairmen of 17 District Councils and Pro-democracy Councilors of Islands District Council issued a joint statement reprimanding the arrest, snubbing civilian’s urge to investigate and reveal the truth of 721 incident.
They also expressed in the statement that they would continue to monitor the situation of arrestees and condemned the abuse of violence and the procedures by police force, undermining freedom of Hong Kong citizen.
