Published on lawmaker Lam Cheuk-ting's Facebook page yesterday (January 15) was a complaint he recently received from a female protester. Due to her ill health, the female protester has been receiving medical treatment in hospital, under escort, wearing just handcuffs.
Last week, officers of the Corrections and Services Department came to know that she received more than 200 greeting cards during Christmas, they also inquired whether she was a protester, to which she acknowledged.
When she was sent for medical treatment again, she was fettered with chains attached to her wrists, ankles and waist. She criticized the change from handcuffs only to attaching shackles was done deliberately to humiliate her in the public.
