Female Journalist Lost Consciousness After Being Pepper Sprayed

23:51 | #MongKok

Riot police dispersed the crowd, including press close to midnight. A female journalist was pepper-sprayed and shoved violently by the police. She fell down and lost her consciousness. Volunteer first-aiders on site tried to revive her by slapping her face, to no avail.

Some civilians at the scene shouted: “Don’t fall asleep! You can make it through!”

Since the start of the anti-extradition movement, journalists and volunteer first-aiders have been risking their lives to serve the public, while constantly being huge target boards to the police. Over the months, numerous first-aiders and members of the press have gotten injured, arrested, beaten and harassed by the police.

Editor's Note:
The above mentioned journalist was not the only one who fainted tonight after being pepper-sprayed.
Although this has not been confirmed, it is suspected that “unknown chemicals” were added to their usual pepper-spray concoction by the police. Pepper-spray causing people to lose consciousness is unheard of.

Pro-democracy fights carry on in the form of public art

Local artist, Giraffe Leung Lok Hei, rolled out a public art event, Paper Over the Cracks.

Using yellow adhesive tape, Leung framed the markings of slogans and phrases written by protestors on street corners and added small tags to introduce each “art piece”, just like the display of any contemporary masterpiece at an art gallery

Leung made a territory-wide invitation for all HongKongers to take part and create “art pieces” with him. Leung explained, “it requires no particular skills. You need only tape, pen and paper.” He continued, “actually the society is full of anomalies , we shouldn’t let ourselves get numbed."

Leung called on the public to post their own “art pieces” online using hashtags like #粉飾太平香港 or #paperoverthecracks to
collate their artworks and share their feelings.
