#ShopWithYou #LunarNewYear
Record Numbers at First Day of the Mongkok's “Shopping at the Lunar New Year Market with you," which will run for 4 days until January 21
There are so many people at the market and the queue is all the way at the back staircase. People need to take the stairs to leave the market because there is no room to wait for the lift. The place is jammed packed!
There are many handicraft products at the Lunar New Year market. The most distinctive ones are “fai chun” calligraphy and face masks that glow whenever there is movement. This Lunar New Year market is just like all typical “dry goods” Lunar New Year markets and does not have much products connected to the movement.
Opening hours of the Lunar New Year Market in #Mongkok:
19 Jan (Sun) -1500 - 0000
20-21 Jan (Mon - Tue): 1800 - 0000

Female Journalist Lost Consciousness After Being Pepper Sprayed
23:51 | #MongKok
Riot police dispersed the crowd, including press close to midnight. A female journalist was pepper-sprayed and shoved violently by the police. She fell down and lost her consciousness. Volunteer first-aiders on site tried to revive her by slapping her face, to no avail.
Some civilians at the scene shouted: “Don’t fall asleep! You can make it through!”
Since the start of the anti-extradition movement, journalists and volunteer first-aiders have been risking their lives to serve the public, while constantly being huge target boards to the police. Over the months, numerous first-aiders and members of the press have gotten injured, arrested, beaten and harassed by the police.

Editor's Note:
The above mentioned journalist was not the only one who fainted tonight after being pepper-sprayed.
Although this has not been confirmed, it is suspected that “unknown chemicals” were added to their usual pepper-spray concoction by the police. Pepper-spray causing people to lose consciousness is unheard of.
