Riot Police Laughing Hysterically While Firing Teargas
1630 | A riot policeman fired a tear gas outside The Landmark at Central. He then burst into hysterical laughter, laughing at the civilians. That policeman was in a state of unusual hyperactivity, dancing in sync to the explosions from the tear gas canister. He only put on his gas mask when the smoke started reaching him.

'Housewife' Protestor Dies of Breathing Problem, Family Suspects Tear Gas Plays a Role
During the Anti-extradition law protests in 2019, Hong Kong police had fired over 10,000 shots of tear gas, causing unprecedented harm to those who breathed in the gas.
A “peaceful, rational non- violent” female protestor in her fifties participated in multiple protests since last October, hoping to protect younger protestors as a “housewife”. She breathed in tear gas in Shatin Lucky Plaza, the Chinese University and the Polytechnic University, and was once hospitalised for breathing difficulty. On 2nd December 2019, she passed away at home due to expiratory dyspnea.
Her daughter suspected that the tear gas contained toxic matters which cause her mother’s death, and thus appealed for public attention to the consequences of tear gas. She demanded the police reveal the constituent of the gas, "If there’s no problem with the gas, why don’t they be open about it?”

Lingnan University Terminates Adjunct Appointment of 2 Outspoken Professors
In response to inquiries by Stand News, the Hong Kong Lingnan University (#HKLU) indicated the adjunct appointment of Law Wing-Sang and Hui Po-Keung have ended in September 2021, and their names have been removed from the school website's list of faculty members. They were professors of Cultural Studies.
The university did not mention the reason for not renewing their contracts.
Law and Hui are scholars active in pro-democracy protest movements, commenting often on current affairs. At the beginning of the 2014 Umbrella Movement, after the police fired tear gas on the gathering crowds, the two publicly condemned the government's actions and went on strike as teachers.
Hui is also a trustee of the “612 Humanitarian Relief Fund”, a fund supporting those injured or arrested during the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement.
After the implement of National Security Law, Law continued to comment on newspapers. He published an opinion piece in MingPao on September 3, 2021, saying that the implementation of the National Security Law had 'perfected' Hong Kong's democratic 'election' system overnight. It also put an end to the ongoing controversy over the pace of democratization since the city's “return to China”: “Hong Kong strides into the era of “authoritarian rule”.
