Police Call Paramedics "Trash" and Obstruct Medical Treatment
On November 8 in Tuen Mun, riot police refused to let paramedics from the Fire Services Department cross the cordon line to treat an injured arrestee. Police questioned the paramedics for reminding the reporters to film.
Police also repeatedly claimed that they would lodge an complaint to the head of Fire Services Department and warned that they have the power to replace paramedics. During the standoff, police video-recorded the paramedics.
Police then took away the said arrestee and insisted that no one was injured. One paramedic said this is "nonsense" as they were trying to diagnose. The paramedic said a police called him "trash". Another police denied. As the paramedic asked whether or not the person who humiliated him is a police, the police ordered the paramedic to leave.

'Housewife' Protestor Dies of Breathing Problem, Family Suspects Tear Gas Plays a Role
During the Anti-extradition law protests in 2019, Hong Kong police had fired over 10,000 shots of tear gas, causing unprecedented harm to those who breathed in the gas.
A “peaceful, rational non- violent” female protestor in her fifties participated in multiple protests since last October, hoping to protect younger protestors as a “housewife”. She breathed in tear gas in Shatin Lucky Plaza, the Chinese University and the Polytechnic University, and was once hospitalised for breathing difficulty. On 2nd December 2019, she passed away at home due to expiratory dyspnea.
Her daughter suspected that the tear gas contained toxic matters which cause her mother’s death, and thus appealed for public attention to the consequences of tear gas. She demanded the police reveal the constituent of the gas, "If there’s no problem with the gas, why don’t they be open about it?”

June 15, 2021 marks two years since the 35-year-old "Yellow Raincoat Man" Marco Leung used his death to protest against extradition to China and warn Hongkongers of the threat of the tyrannical regime.
It was in 2019, on the eve of the second rally called forth by the Civil Human Rights Front (#CHRF), Leung chanted pro-democracy slogans and unfurled banners in protest of the government's undemocratic acts in a shopping mall in Admiralty.
On the day in 2021, Hongkongers of different ages commemorated Leung near the shopping mall, despite the threat of the authorities.
