[BREAKING]
17 Sept Press Conference on the Allerged Disappearance and Death Cases in Prince Edward Station on 31 August

Lawmaker Alvin Yeung summarised the following record from the fire service department's on-site logbook which had provided the following information:

1. That on the night of the incident, 3 injured cases flagged as red (for serious injuries) disappeared in later entries from the logbook after the initial mention

2. That from 1 Sept 00:36 to 01:02, no record of any sort can be found during 26 min. That time period drew an absolute blank

3. That entries in the log book were modified on 3 Sept and 10 Sept. In real time, on-site entries in the logbook mentioned 9-10 injured cases, but the total number of cases of reported injury dropped down to 7 on 3 Sept

* Entries in the logbook cannot be deleted nor added, but only edited.

Naked Female Corpse Found On Kwai Chung Building Platform

[Editor's note: Since deaths were suspected during police attack on civilians at the Prince Edward Station on August 31, citizens have been alarmed by the discovery of bodies in the city. In October, the discovery of 15-year-old Chan Yin-lam, naked when found in the water, had raised concerns across the territory, as the police claimed the case as "unsuspicious".]

A fully naked, middle-aged woman was found by residents on Kwai Wo Building’s platform at 7:39 am in the morning of December 18. EMTs and firemen at the scene confirmed the woman’s death. The scene is currently on lockdown by the police for further investigation.

Kwai Wo Building has 19 floors, and the woman was found on a platform on the 5th floor. Investigations are ongoing to identify the woman and to determine the cause of her death.

District Councilor: Police are Abusing Anti-Crowding Laws to Arrest Citizens and Impose Political Pressure

District Councilor Chan Po-ming states that he went to the vigil alone and did not know nearby citizens. However, while being searched by the police, he was asked if he was gathering with four other nearby citizens. He noted that these types of events kept happening, and it is unacceptable that the anti-epidemic policy is being used as a political pressure tool.

#IPCC Police Review Report Criticised for Being False and Biased

IPCC published its report on the anti-ELAB movement. Yuen Long District Councillor Tommy Cheung commented on the report on 17 May during RTHK’s City Forum program. Cheung said that he did not expect anything from the report: “you can’t be disappointed when you don’t have any expectation, but this report still blew our minds.”

He pointed out that the “facts” in the report were partial. In one instance, the report cited fake news and a fake poster calling for protest in Yuen Long on July 22, 2019 from Chinese social media, Weibo. Though it was known to be fake, the report still claimed that it was from LIHKG forum.

Cheung criticised IPCC for failing to verify its source and questioned the credibility of the report. IPCC council member Chan Kam-wing admitted that they “did not investigate”.

Cheung also indicated that the report reduced the July 21 incident into a “conflict between the black-clad and the white-clad". In reality, the white-clad gangsters did not just attack black-clad citizens, but also train passengers and passersby including a pregnant lady.

Moreover, the report justified the police’s claims such as “I can’t read the watch” and “I can’t see any weapon” as a “public relations” problem. Cheung showed that the report was biased towards the police: For instance, it was mentioned that someone tried to “freeze” the 999 call center, but in reality, they were citizens who tried to seek help.

Former Student Union President of the Education University Leung Yiu-ting, who was arrested during the 8.31 Prince Edward station incident, questioned why the police never seek information from witnesses. This contradicts the police saying that they want to investigate.

9th Mensiversary of 831 Terror: Riot police put orange tape on their shoulder for reasons still unclear

Nine months ago, at the Prince Edward subway station, large groups of pro-democracy protesters on their way home were brutally attacked and arrested by riot police. Since then, citizens went to the station on the last day of the month to mourn by laying white flowers for the victims of police brutality.

Late afternoon today (May 31), riot police were sighted at B1 exit of the subway station to remove white flowers laid down by citizens. Instead of using the orange tape for cordon lines, some officers pinned it onto the shoulder area of their uniform, citizens suspected that it is for covering up their ID number, but operation callsigns could still be seen on their uniform.
