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.

Riot police accused of destroying Chow Tsz-lok’s altar
Chow Tsz- Lik, 22-year-old student, fell from height in the car park at Sheung Tak Estate, Tseung Kwan O, during a police dispersing action in the early morning of Nov 4 2019, and passed away on Nov 8. 4 months have passed since the accident, but some citizens still set up an altar on the ground and 2nd floor of the car park to pay their tribute.
On 28 Feb night, netizens reported on an online forum that a group of riot police destroyed the altars at about 2300. When reporters of the Stand News arrived at the scene, the altars were turned into a mess, with paper cranes, memo stickers and miscellaneous items scattered on the ground. No conclusion could be made on the identity of the destroyer.
