One year on from the death of Marco Leung Ling-kit at this exact spot, this is how #HK looks: nothing but a sea of green. #HKPoliceState Image
In spite of the repression, still quite a few brave citizens are gathered at Pacific Place, Admiralty, to remember Marco Leung's fall on June 15 last year. It was for many a moment of reckoning, of realizing how serious the #HK freedom struggle had become & the sacrifice required Image
Across #HK people are marking the 1st anniversary of the death of Marco Leung Ling-kit today, the 1st associated with the struggle against the extradition bill. Pro-democracy leaders on trial for unlawful assembly held 3min of silence before entering court

Lots of people gathering now around Sogo in Causeway Bay for #June12 anniversary. Poster of that day’s events are displayed. Lots of police too, both riot & undercover. Remember:all protests are still banned &police have announced thousands of cops are out tonight to prevent them
20.08 In Mong Kok, a large number of citizens have been indiscriminately kettled, presumably for stop&search. This is a frequently employed rights-abusing technique of the police. Very large police presence near Langham Place.
People also gathering in New Town Plaza mall in Sha Tin.

Atmosphere in Central & Admiralty very #PoliceState this morning. Riot cops patrolling every main road & pedestrian bridges in groups. Admiralty MTR exit to govt HQ blocked. While ‘national security’ laws would make #HK much worse, #HKPoliceState is already here.
The scene along Harcourt Rd, in front of #HK govt HQ. & these are just the cops you can see. #HKPoliceState ImageImageImageImage
On footbridge from Admiralty Centre to #HK govt HQ. There’s practically no access to the footbridge anyway since police have blocked the passage from Admiralty MTR to the footbridge. Govt HQ & surrounding grounds virtually cut off from public access. Image

A Sing-With-You protest started about 20min ago at Cityplaza mall in Tai Koo. A large number of police just entered tha mall & appears intent on confronting the people singing. A mall protest took place in Central on Fri w/out police entering the mall. #HKPoliceState
Hundreds gathered to sing in the mall. Perhaps the large number irritated police. Policing has been especially draconian & hostile to anything that looks like a protest for months. Freedom of assembly is unjustifiably circumscribed in #HK.
Police aggressively confront people in mall who are peaceful, warning them to observe coronavirus social distancing rules. This is now a pattern: police invoke public health to stop protest. On Apr21 in YuenLong, they issued 36 tickets for violating the rules w fine of HK$2k each

China predictably spewing BS propaganda with its tabloids just before it smacks down HK with a full Article 23 implementation. HK to become another failed city within China 27 years earlier than the Sino-British Joint Declaration stipulated. China reneging on another signed deal.
It’s over for HK as we knew it- CCP arrests "just hours after China’s top representative office in the semiautonomous city declared it is not bound by restrictions in Hong Kong’s constitution, the Basic Law, that bar Chinese government from interfering in local affairs."

A 4mo memorial for Chow Tsz-lok is scheduled in the Sheung Tak car park where he fell, but a half hour before it's to begin, there's a massive police presence both within & around the car park (which is privately owned). They're carrying out random stop&searches of citizens.
While Tseung Kwan O is under police lockdown, another 4-month memorial for Chow Tsz-lok (& Chan Yin-lam, who died in September) is going on at Kwun Tong promenade.
In spite of blanket police presence in Tseung Kwan O, hundreds of brave citizens are still managing to gather outside of Sheung Tak car park where on Nov 4 Chow Tsz-lok fell. Police aren't allowing mourners to enter car park where previous shrines were b4 police tore them down.

500 march in Kwai Tsing against govt plan to designate local clinic for coronavirus treatment. Such protests have now occurred in about a dozen places in #HK. Residents protest lack of govt consultation w community & refusal to close border. inmediahk.net/node/1070824
Meanwhile, riot police continue to patrol various areas of #HK, conducting arbitrary stop&searches, almost always of young people. Here at 15.49 in Fo Tan which has seen protests in recent days. #HKPoliceState
Hundreds have demonstrated also in Cheung Sha Wan this afternoon, also against #HK govt plan to use local clinic for coronavirus treatment. It's not that people are saying, Not in my backyard; they're protesting that govt fails to consult the community & acts unilaterally.

At the turn of #newyear2020, 1.03 million #hkers took to the street. As one of the largest demonstration since June last year, #hongkongprotestes want to show our persistent thrust for democracy and freedoms in the city under the tyrannical rule of #CCP. ImageImageImageImage
1/ We also send a message to those in prison that HKers won’t forget why we are here. We will carry on with our determination in the new year. However, tyranny is afraid of the will of the people. #Beijing chooses not to answer it bravely, but cowardly suppress it.
2/ It is reported that #hkpolice just adopted a new tactic to surround & arbitrarily arrest HKers, instead of dispersing them. Over 1 m ppl were unreasonably forced to leave in merely 30 mins. 400 #hkers were arbitrarily arrested even though they were just innocent bystanders.

[THREAD] Nov11: TAI ON MURDER - Behind HK's Raging Fire: Time is running out for an institutional resolution

Following a mournful weekend, we woke up to find #HKPolice shot another unarmed protester in Taion Street on Mon, whose heart once stopped beating during urgent surgery. ImageImage
2/ Make no mistakes #CarrieLam - it's not a tragedy, but attempted homicide. More atrocities committed by Police: In KwaiFong, traffic cop went berserk on a motorcycle is running protesters over, injuries reported. In TKO, police arrested a granny who merely criticized them. ImageImageImage
3/ In this perilous political crisis, mayhem in Central as Police fired teargas during lunch hours. Many are unarmed, unprotected, professionals white-collar working class, expat workers. ImageImageImageImage

so-called “special traffic arrangements” at famous Lan Kwai Fong is just another example of #HKGov’s OPPRESSION on civilians’ #freedom of assembly, freedom of celebrating #Halloween

Tons of water-filled BARRIERS are offloading in LKF - #AntiMaskLaw.

#HKPoliceState #HongKong ImageImageImage
Back in 1993, a tragedy #LanKwaiFong Stampede happened on New Year day, killing 20 & injuried 100+ on the SLOPING street.

See wht #HKPolice doing NOW make us wonder if they’re planning another one.

Point to note:
#HKpolice can arbitrarily enter *Private Premises WITHOUT search warrant & consent of owner*
— which is a VIOLATION of #BasicLaw Art. 6: HKSAR shall protect the right of #PrivateOwnership of property.

#HKPOLICE IS OFFICIALLY ABOVE ANY #LAW
#HKPoliceState — NO ONE’s private properties are protected in #HongKong. State-authorised armed #HKPolice Force could make arbitrary search & arrest as they wish

#Capitalists can just leave the city. Who’s destroying #HongKong now?

Kneeling down, Hands up for #police search in a residential building lobby — those young people are LIVING there.

With 🇨🇳 #CCP’s authorisation of ENDLESS #POWER, these armed #HKPoliceTerrorists could literally do anything.

So provocative: so many riot cops at TST waterfront, presumably to prevent a 3pm assembly. A very conflictual situation. Here’s one of the most recognisable & detested cops in #HK, front & center, a clear provocation
A line of about a hundred riot cops face off with hundreds of protesters over the right to freely gather. Apart from these cops, there are hundreds of others in the vicinity. The protesters are by and large the moderate sorts. No need for this provocation.
This is how it looks right on the frontline. The police officer is telling protesters to back off and disperse. Mostly middle-aged protesters are telling him we have a perfect right to be here & they should leave us alone.
