Riot police fire around 10 rounds of tear gas towards Nathan Road at the intersection of Shanghai Street and Shan Tung Street.

Behind the scene:
3 shots were fired at first and our reporter was surrounded by toxic tear gas, dashed out of the smoke to recover at an alley and the first-aiders pulled her from Nathan Road into Sai Yeung Choi Street South while another 5 to 6 shots of tear gas were fired.

After inhaling the tear gas, people at the scene suffer immediately from tearing, coughing, choking and sore throat.

2100 | “Supporting the Righteous at Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre” was held at 20:00 at Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre today. The event was organized by the League of Social Democrats. Around 6000 citizens gathered outside the Centre, across the road and many of them were still on their way. People kept chanting since the event started.

Protesters arrested in this movement wrote letters to the public. Joshua Wong, Claudia Mo, Eddie Chu were invited to read the letters out, and talked about the salary increase of Hong Kong Police Force. On the other hand, familes and lovers read out the letters written to the arrestees on the spot, hoping their loved one inside the Centre could hear them. People cried and none of them ever left even it was raining.

At 2200, lights in the Centre would all be off. People sang “Glory to Hong Kong” with their flashlights on.

"No More China Flight, No More Virus Spreading": Assembly Held by Hong Kong Dragon Airline Flight Attendants Association

#FirstHand #Instant #Feb9

14:16 | Tung Chung
The Hong Kong Dragon Airline Flight Attendants Association organized an assembly requesting the Airline to stop flights flying over mainland China.

FAA chairwoman Rebecca Sy On-na spoke on stage, reflecting that there has been lack of masks and hand cloves offered to cabin crew, despite the fact that they contact with mainland travellers directly. What's more, the airline even requests cabin crew to take no-pay leave in such a harsh moment.

462 members of the Association voted for a strike so as to force the airline to stop flights flying over China that could potentially spread virus to Hong Kong. Sy also pointed that Cathay Dragon issued memo to cabin crew to stress that those participated in the strike will be fired.
