Police Commander in Yuen Long 721 Attack Owns At Least 3 Illegal Properties

Recent reports of illegal structures at properties owned by top-tier of Hong Kong police turn out to be a tip of the iceberg. Apple Daily recently found out the commanding officer in the 721 Attack owned at least three glass-constructed houses, suspected to be breaching the property law with unauthorised building works. The Housing Department has replied it will follow up with an investigation and take action if laws were broken.

Facebook banned authentic Beijing June 4th massacre photograph

Just two weeks before the 33rd Memorials of June 4th Massacre, a media veteran in Hong Kong found a photograph linked to the Tiananmen crackdown had been banned by Facebook.

The photograph that she posted many years ago showed a tank running over protest student Fang Zhang's legs.

Facebook claimed the photography is inappropriate content linked to "violence and bloodshed".

Even though, Facebook said it didn't violate "Community Standards', it argued that the photograph could be "deemed sensitive to some people."

Notes to editors:
Fang Zheng is a former student protester who was seriously injured during the Tiananmen massacre in 1989 in Beijing, China. During the evacuation of the Square in the early morning of June 4, Fang was run over by a People’s Liberation Army tank, which led to the amputation of both his legs.
