Hongkongers Commemorate Victims of Police Brutality Outside Prince Edward Station
On the last day of every month since August 31, 2019, civilians gathered outside the Prince Edward metro station. Some prayed, some mourned. Many brought white flowers for the victims of police brutality. The police cordoned off the area, barring civilians from going near. Pro-democracy district councilors collected flowers from the civilians.
On Aug 31, 2019, train passengers including pro-democracy protesters were brutally attacked and arrested by riot police inside the station. Police blocked the press and first aiders from entering and later denied that civilians had been killed by the police.

Artists and creative workers condemn the #NationalSecutityLaw for infringing creative autonomy
Meeting the press on May 28, musician Adrian Chow, who is also a board member of the Art Development Council, warned about the danger of the arbitrariness of the National Security Law.
"No choice, no chance to listen to 'Glory to Hong Kong anymore," he projected a scenario under the National Security Law bitterly, "we may be forced to listen to William Chan's War Wolf disco, or Hong Kong Coalition's theme song".
Chow pointed out free speech and freedom of the press will be deeply affected: Disclosing the police officers' breach of law may be counted as "disclosure of state secrets".
Chow compared the absurdity of the events in the Legislative Council to the authorities' "moving cordon": Pro-demoracy lawmaker Hoi-dick Chu was expelled for holding the sign "Best Chairman Starry Lee". LegCo president Andrew Leung, of the pro-Beijing camp, claimed that Chu's act was insulting.
