Innocent Man Charged With Assault Arrested on Second Mensiversary of Prince Edward Station Incident was Released After 3-month Curfew

Crowds of citizens had gathered outside Prince Edward Station during the 2-month-anniversary of 8.31 Incident in December, requesting MTR to release the CCTV records for verification of the number of injuries. Police dispersed the crowds with rounds of tear gas, leading to a series of conflicts.

A 22-year-old man was charged for assault on police officers, in which he was claimed to elbow a police officer. Prosecution withdrew the charge after seeking DOJ's opinion but the defendant had a 3-month curfew executed.

Hong Kong Police Announces the Upcoming Arrest of All Civilians Paying Tribute to Police Brutality Victims

On August 31, 2019, riot police barged into the subway trains in Prince Edward station and indiscrimately assaulted passengers and pro-democracy protesters on their way home.

Many civilians were gravely injured, and many others were seen went down on their knees, or begging the police to stop pepper-spraying and hitting them. Known as the 831 Prince Edward Incident, this was one of the most brutal incidents during the Anti-ELAB movement in Hong Kong.

Since then, members of the public voluntarily go to the #PrinceEdward train station on the last day of every month, bringing white flowers to pay tribute to the casualties and the victims of #PoliceBrutality in the pro-democracy movement.

On Nov 28, 2020, it was reported that Hong Kong police will arrest any civilians paying tribute outside the Prince Edward Station starting from Nov 30, 2020.

District Councilor Lam Siu-ben told reporters that since beginning of 2020, police officers often sweep away white flowers as soon as civilians put them down. Other police officers were seen closely monitoring onlookers from nearby Mong Kok Police Station. When a civilian put down a flower, they would immediately be threatened for committing littering.

Lam quoted a source saying the police will tighten enforcement from this month to disperse citizens gathering nearby Prince Edward Station and arrest those refuse to leave.

Lam said that from his observation, “police do not want to see white flowers being placed at Prince Edward station and around the area of Mong Kok Police Station".
