[#Policebrutality in police stations is beyond our imagination.]

1/ Uncountable arrestees filed their torture complaints to courts since last summer, while 100+ had to stay in hospitals & miss the hearings due to severe injuries eg. concussions, broken bones & vision loss.

2/ Yan (medics) said #hkpolice pointed guns at him & smashed him with batons when he was providing the first-aid service during #PolyUSiege. Inspector tried to plant evidence by putting a gas bomb into his bag. Luckily his bag was full at that time so #police’s move was in vain.

3/ Yan provided first aid services to #HKers. He said one of the patients suffered from severe brain bleed & concussion during detention. X-rays showed that the wound was made by blunt force. The victim has lost his sense of taste & fails to distinguish hot things & sour taste.

4/ In the police station, it’s like hell! #hongkongprotesters were severely beaten with heads covered with blood. Even though they have already lost consciousness, #police kept torturing them by beating their faces with batons and dragging them on the floor.

5/ Without effective checks & balances, #Policeviolence will just prevail without consequences. Under #China’s iron fist, #policebrutality becomes unerasable, only paving way to authoritarianism. It's the reason why #HKers' cause for democracy is only way to bring justice to HK.
