Citizens Protest Against Police-Triad Collusion in the Yuen Long Attacks on July 21

20:03 | Causeway Bay
Someone played a video record of an interview of a police inspector defending their late arrival on 21 July.

In the video, Chief Inspector LI Hon-man defended without shame for their late arrival by replying that police arrived only after received calls. He had not noticed the time because he did not read the watch. He questioned whether the reporters had noticed the chaos. The reporters continued to ask several questions until LI suddenly said “Your actions are not threatening me.”

20:08
A citizen held a cardboard writing “police-triad colluding, never ever obliterating“, and chanted loudly “if you are a true yellow ribbon, do not use MTR services again!”

20:16
Some held their phones with display of the words “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our times”.

20:18
Citizens started writing memos on a Lennon wall.

7 months since the 7.21 Triad Attack in Yuen Long

1915 | Causeway Bay MTR Station
In memory of the victims, citizens gathered at numerous areas in Hong Kong, including Aberdeen, Kwai Chung, Tai Koo, San Po Kong, Kowloon Bay, Kwun Tong, Cheung Sa Wan and Lai Chi Kok, to bring awareness to the injustice: the police selective enforcement of law and the MTR's negligence of passengers' safety.

Under the severe outbreak of Wuhan Pneunomia, Hong Kongers are still connected with one another. People chanted “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times”, “Hong Kongers, Revenge”, “Five Demands, Not One Less”, “Police Disappear on July 21, Kill on August 31, and Shoot on October 1", as well as “Give us CCTV footage, Show Us the Truth”.

Posters could be seen everywhere in the MTR station. Some citizens waved the flags of “Hong Kong Independence” and “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times”.

Today Marks the 8th Month Of Yuen Long 721 Attack: MTR Shutting Down Most Yuen Long Exits From 4p.m

On 21 July 2019, police were absent when an armed mob brutally assaulted civilians in Yuen Long MTR station and on the streets. The attack has scarred the hearts of many Hong Kong people: Not that it took the police as long as 39 minutes to arrive, but also there were reports about the police turning a blind eye to the attacks.

Today (21 March) marked the 8th month since Yuen Long 721 Attack. MTR yesterday claimed that Yuen Long Station and Long Ping Station will be opened as usual. However, the Corporation suddenly announced to close Yuen Long Exit A, B, J, K and H at 16:00.

According to Stand News and HKGolden livestream, police have been deployed in the station before 4p.m and conducted stop and search. A teeenager was frisked by the police and escorted to the control room.

Joint statement by 17 District Councils Reprimanding Arrest of Yuen Long Council Chairman

8 months after Yuen Long 721 Incident, netizens called for a rally in remembrance of victims of gangsters' violence and police's inaction. District councillors were waiting at Yuen Long West Railway Station at about 7 pm to monitor police's operation on site, during which Yuen Long District Council Chairman Wong Wai-yin was arrested for no apparent reason. At around 10pm, Chairmen and Vice Chairmen of 17 District Councils and Pro-democracy Councilors of Islands District Council issued a joint statement reprimanding the arrest, snubbing civilian’s urge to investigate and reveal the truth of 721 incident.

They also expressed in the statement that they would continue to monitor the situation of arrestees and condemned the abuse of violence and the procedures by police force, undermining freedom of Hong Kong citizen.
