#NOW in the public transport terminus under Yuen Long MTR station, police officers wearing rather bulky vests are standing on guard.
Three young men from TSW Connect, including resigned district councillor Lam Chun, set up a street booth in the public transport terminus under Yuen Long Station. Police jotted down their personal info and reminded them of anti-gathering ban.
Police gave first public warning of gathering ban after a representative of the Confederation of Trade Unions arrived and was about to join the street booth.
Under watch of dozens of police, Lam Chun of TSW Connect began to speak, urging people not to forget what happened in Yuen Long tonight two years ago.
While two activists are trying to keep voices heard on street in Yuen Long, a number of young men are under stop and search a few meters in front of them.
Leo Tang (left) of CTU said a hotel staff union was warned this afternoon by police for handing out a leaflet reminding ppl 7 steps to wash hands for 21 seconds. Police said the leaflet was “beautifying the black violence” and “we could ask national security unit to handle you”.
Eight policemen surrounded one man for a search. Heard an officer said to the man, “Are you going to buy a bun? You should go if not. I have seen you twice here.”
Founder of Student Politicism Wong Yat-chin joined the street booth. He said every HKer can find something to do. “When we are arrested and jailed, it will become a duty to fill the vacated posts. We are now also merely filling some vacated posts.”
Not only police officers are guarding Yuen Long station tonight, but also their big dogs.
