Hong Kong government’s new requirements to reduce public gathering seem to be illogical and unscientific. They are suspected to be a means to restrict political activities

Victim of Sexual Violence by the Police Urges Hongkongers to Speak Up Against Injustice
A press conference was held at the headquarters of The Hong Kong Social Workers' General Union on June 22, 2020. An underaged female student, K, spoke of her experiences of the police's verbal and sexual abuse after her arrest on September 25, 2019.
After K was arrested in a shopping mall, several police officers insulted her with profanity that demeant women and a female officer "grabbed" her breast several times. K was appalled by the police behaviour even in the public. She then heard that she was dehumanized into a "piece" in a conversation between the police.
At the police station, K's request to the bathroom was repeatedly denied. K told the police that she has human rights. This triggered a series of insult from the police: A female officer said to her, "Human rights are based on freedom, but you are a criminal. Here, we have a say in your freedom. You'd better keep quiet," while a male police officer mocked K by saying "I have human rights!"
K was finally allowed to go to the bathroom but only one hour later. At the toilet, she was directly gazed at by a female officer. K requested her privacy to be respected, but the officer claimed it was part of the protocol.
K requested to call her lawyer and family for at least 6 times but was never granted. Even worse, K had to face a third-degree body search, which required to have all her clothes removed. During the search, a female officer leant very close to K's chest and private parts while humiliating her with insults.
K was brought back to her home for a search by a male police officer, but without the company of her family or lawyer. K felt completely terrified during the search.
After all these happenings, K was traumatized and made three attempts to commit suicide including jumping into the rails. K was diagnosed with PTSD. Nonetheless, she chose to speak up to let other victims of police violence know that they were not alone and they should not blame themselves as they had done nothing wrong.
K wanted to send a message to all Hongkongers that one should speak up when facing injustice.
While K will face a trial in Shatin Magistrates Courts at 14:30 on July 21, the Hong Kong Social Workers' General Union is launching an official complaint to the police about the case.

A letter from Lau Ka-tung - the first social worker imprisoned for performing his duty on protesting scenes
Social worker Lau Ka-tung has been involved in many ways in pro-democracy movements. He missed the opportunity to take part in Legislative Council (LegCo) election this year as he initially planned when he was convicted of obstructing police officer performing from his duty and harshly sentenced for a one-year imprisonment. In prison cell, Ka-tung reminded Hongkongers that belief is invincible. Even when being entrapped within four walls, Ka-tung is determined to stand alongside protesters to defend social justice.
