Today Hong Kong should be voting in the #LegCo Elections.
This right has been denied, alongside the disqualification of opposition candidates and the arrest of many activists and journalists.
We reiterate our call for a proportionate response from the international community.
The first mass protest in months takes place in Kowloon today. According to @StandNewsHK’s live, #hkpf create blockade in front of reporters, claiming only “real” reporters can do news gathering, but didn’t explain what “real reporter” means.
A 12 yrs old girl wearing school uniform was smashed on the ground by #HKPF during today’s protest. A policeman thrashed and assaulted the teenage girl under his crouch. This is why HKers hate Riot Police so much.
#Neverforgive#Policebrutality
The people of Hong Kong were supposed to be voting in the LegCo election today - but the government postponed the election and has continued to ban public protests and arrest pro-democracy activists. #weareallhongkongers
