Police fire pepper pellets at reporters at close range, shattering camera filter

During the police ’s dispersal operation at the junction of Shan Tung Street and Portland Street outside Langham Place last night (January 26), reporters stepped back at the request of the police, but continued to film while moving backwards.

However, police at the scene fired several rounds of pepper pellets at a close range towards reporters. One of the pellet hit the reporter’s camera, causing the shattering the filter. The camera body and lens were stained with chemicals.

This contact force, powerful enough to break glass a few meters away, can definitely cause injury if it hits a human directly.

Beijing Mouthpiece Defames a 11-year-old Hong Kong Boy and Uses Fake Identity to Approach his Family

In Hong Kong, 11-year-old #JoelWong, the founder of the Tin Shui Wai Community Concern Group, was assaulted by a pro-Beijing elderly man on January 25, 2021.

Wong saw a group of elderly women and men gathering and dancing in a park in Tin Shui Wai. When he approached the group, reminding them to keep the music down, he was headbutted by one of the men who also punched Wong on his tummy.

Since Wong reported the case to the Hong Kong Police, Wong has been harassed by Ta Kung Pao, a Beijing-owned newspaper. On January 26, 2021, the CCP mouthpiece even published a so-called "interview" with Wong’s Grandmother on its frontpage, defaming the community-caring Wong as "going astray".

The Concern Group told Stand News that the reporter of Ta Kung Pao, who "interviewed" Wong's grandmother first claimed to be his teacher and social worker. When Wong's grandmother let the reporter into their apartment, he took picture of their household and other family members. It was only after that he then revealed his identity as a reporter.

The Concern Group denounced the reporter’s action, calling it “shameful” to chat with Wong's family and “betray their trust.”
