Police are seeking to redefine what was seen as an indiscriminate attack on protesters that day, insisting it was a clash escalated by both sides, presented inaccurately earlier by "lobsided, twisted, misleading and false" footage
The police and the government are actively rewriting the history of what happened on 21 July 2019 by putting the blame on the press (without presenting any counter-evidence that suggests otherwise).
8/ On whether I am worried that I will be arrested for my presence in Yuen Long station on 21th July: I noticed that the police did not identify me as a reporter but “a woman in yellow vest”, and the claim that “doing a live broadcast is no exemption from criminal offences”.
3/ The alleged ‘congregation of two groups’ does not reflect the fact that white-shirts were gathering outside the paid area of the station, surrounding and attacking ordinary citizens inside the paid area.
2/ On the claim that ‘the unfortunate event was caused by escalations of the two groups in Yuen Long station’: There was already a person suffering a bleeding injury by white-shirt men before my arrival, and the arrival of Mr Lam Cheuk-Ting, a lawmaker just arrested for 'riot'.
In #Belarus, the state TV is showing visibly terrified detained protesters. They were probably beaten up before their public promises to no longer take part in anti-Lukashenka #protests.
This is happening in #Europe in 2020. Just terrible.
We are all as one. HK people would surely stand with all freedom fighters in Belarus. Wish you peace and healing, and true democracy ahead! #StandWithBelarus
