Rally in Edinburgh Place Shows the World That Hong Kongers Are Not Willing to Give Up Their Fight

1500 | Edinburgh Place, Central

The “Days and Nights of HK Protesters, Turn Grieve into Action, Fight for Our Freedom Assembly” was held at 15:00 at Edinburgh Place, Central today (#29Dec).

The highlight of the event was the 38 x 3 metre black tapestry stating the timeline of the past six months, and the progression of Hong Kongers' mentality from peaceful marches to all-out resistance on multiple fronts. Participants were welcome to write down words of encouragement and their heartfelt words on the tapestry starting from 14:00. It will be sent around the world to all followers of the movement, letting them know what had happened in Hong Kong, and the fact that Hong Kongers would never give up.

The rally was kick-started by the Organiser at 1500.

19-year-old Hong Kong Protester in Exile Accused the Police of Planting of False Evidence

The “Days and Nights of HK Protesters, Turn Grieve into Action, Fight for Our Freedom Assembly” was held on December 29 at Edinburgh Place, Central with more than a thousand turning up to support.

During the assembly, there were also recordings of those in exile encouraging HongKongers to keep on fighting. The recording was played in front of a banner that read “planting of false evidence is strictly forbidden”.

A 19-year-old protester was brutally beaten and arrested on 11 August and he described the event as “pure luck (for him) to stay alive”. He did not go down to the details of cases regarding the planting of false evidence, but he witnessed many protesters being assaulted by the police. He was stepped on by the police on his head, kicked in eyes, had his hands tied behind his back and brought to the Sun Uk Ling Holding Centre. He further described that the least injury a protester would get at the Holding Centre was to have “blood cover the entire face”. He was also diagnosed with minor cerebral hemorrhage due the injuries that he sustained from the assault by the police.
