How Many (Types of) Masks do Hongkongers Have to Wear?
From the eruption of the Anti-extradition Law Movement since June 2019 to the coronavirus outbreak in 2020, the Hong Kong government, unelected, refused to answer to the damands of the population all along, from the withdrawal of the bill, universal suffrage, the adequate supply of protective masks to the closure of Hong Kong-China borders.

Police continue to abuse powers while citizens remember the deceased of the pro-democracy movement
Police intervened memorial gathering on Febrary 8 and arrested many citizens including 5 district councilors from Sai Kung.
The day February 8 marked 3 months after the passing of Alex Chow, a student in his early 20s who had been in coma after falling from height at Sheung Tak carpark during police operation. The actual cause of his death remains unknown.
Hundreds of citizens gathered at the parking lot in Tsuen Kwun O, where Chow fell to his death to pay their respects. Some also took the opportunity to protest against the government for setting up a quarantine facility in the area without seeking consent from the residents.
The Sai Kung district council held a press conference the following day condemning the abuse of powers form the police. These included wrongful arrest, obstructing the District Council's watchdog team , assaulting reporters and even inflicting sexual assaults.
Valarie Wong, one of the district councillors arrested at the scene, was groped in her chest by a male police officer. She then showed her ID to the officers on site and demanded the identity of the perpetrator.
Not only did the police refuse to provide her with the information she requested, the unit of the concerned officer was immediatelt called away; whereas Wong was then arrested.
After Wong was brought to the police station with other arrestees, she was separated from others and received verbal abuse from police officers who were in the same unit as the one who groped her.
Chan Wai-lit, another district councillor arrested, was beaten by the police with batons. Chan was also pinned to the ground and pressed down on his neck by an officer's knee. He was then continuously insulted and abused verbally along with his fellow councilors and citizens.
Worse still, another outrageous incident took place when a group of plain clothed officers drove a car directly into a crowd of citizens. The plainclothes then started attacking violently civilians with batons and pepper spray.
Ryan Lee, another district councillor at the scene got violated by the pepper spray, while his female assistant was hit by a teargas cannister and knocked to the ground.
Another member of the district council's watchdog team, Edmond Tse, was also hit in the stomach by the police’s pepper balls. He was wearing his orange uniform at the time and was receiving verbal insults form the police right before he was shot.
Neither press nor the district council could film freely. Councilman Lui Man Kwong was blinded by the police’s flashlight and pushed against the walls after the officers saw him filming. Reporters went through similar treatment, including being bashed by the police with shields.

Hong Kong University forces boarding students to leave dormitories and stops them from protesting
Claiming pandemic-control, at least five tertiary institutions in Hong Kong told dormitory residents to return home.
On February 10, the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) told occupants of its student residences to leave in two days’ time by February 12 – 13.
Polytechnic University (#PolyU), Baptist University and City University (#CityU) said they also had plans to “encourage” residents to leave.
The university’s decision has caught many students in surprises, putting them through unnecessary disturbances and therefore, elicited resentment.
In just a few hours after #CUHK’s announcement, over 500 students of the university joined a discussion group on social media, calling to protest the school’s arrangement.
Although these students reiterated that their actions would remain peaceful and they would only attempt to hand in petition letter to the university, the university reacted fervently with tens of uniformed security officers stationed visible at where the students gathered.
The security guards were seen pointing video cameras at protesting students and shouting through loudspeakers for students to leave the site or they might risk violating the COVID-19 gathering restrictions.
