2/ "We sang protest anthem “Glory to HK” in the cell. We were punished the next day.” He said a guard told him to say thank you as he slapped him once. He said the prison guards hit them in ways to avoid bruising and scars and in places in the prison where there was no CCTV.
3/ Joshua Wong told Reuters he was subjected to demeaning treatment in prison, such as being made to squat naked while being questioned by guards in an area of the prison with no CCTV.
4/ He made an official complaint to the Correctional Services Department, but an internal investigation by the department concluded last year that his complaint was unfounded on the grounds that there was no evidence.
