HK Journalist Reporting Police Brutality Does Not Back Down Despite Threats

Wanchai district councilor #LeungPakKin was a journalist for #RicePost on the scene of the 8.31 Prince Edward Attack, and had recorded video of the attack as it unfolded in 2019.

Earlier in August 2021, someone had mailed him a box cutter blade, along with a threatening letter: "Shut up about 8.31, and your family will stay safe".

In response to inquiries by Stand News, Leung saif that he will not keep quiet because of the letter. He says that the attack had been a collective memory of everyone, and it will not disappear simply because he stopped talking.

He elaborates on his thoughts on the letter on his Facebook page, stating that it didn't have to be him talking about the 8.31 attack by the police. "The video already showed everything. The people and events in the video are the most important [proof]. The violence dealt by the armed men in the video, whether they're reasonable, whether they're proportional - there's no need for me to say more."

Leung said that he had turned down all interviews since last year.

MTR Ad Campaign Alludes to 8.31
Local Satire Artist Makes Parody Image on Attack Anniversary

Last week, Hong Kong Science Museum ran an ad campaign in MTR stations promoting its “MTR x Dinosaur Adventure Art Competition 2022”, which complements the Hong Kong Science Museum’s “The Hong Kong Jockey Club Series: The Big 8 – Dinosaur Revelation” dinosaur exhibition, including actors in dinosaur costumes running around inside train stations.

Many netizens left comments on MTR's Facebook post alluding to the #831PrinceEdward attack, in which the Police’s Special Tactical Contingent - often nicknamed "Raptors" - flooded into Prince Edward station and attacked passengers indiscriminately, leaving many bloodied and traumatized.

Today, satire artist SurrealHK published this edited image titled "Dinosaurs seen in MTR?! Inspired by #DinosaurAtMTR". No comments have been made regarding today's date, which happens to coincide with the 3rd year anniversary of the #831PrinceEdward attack, leaving much to the reader's interpretation.
