#721YuenLongAttack refers to armed triad members dressed in white indiscriminately attacked civilians on streets & inside the subway station in Yuen Long, #HongKong w/ steel rods & rattan canes incl elderly, children, journalists & lawmakers in the evening of July 21 2019.
21 Jul is a collective memory for #Hongkongers-today marks the 2nd anniversary of #721YuenLongTerrorAttack.
The govt tried to write it off this as a fight between 2 groups of people and silence HKers under #NationalSecurityLaw.
Justice has not been served and we’ll never forget.
21 July 2019 was the day that #HongKong police connived pro-Beijing triads to indiscriminately attack HK civilians.
The notable slogan - “Free Hong Kong, #RevolutionOfOurTimes” - also got revived and popularised on the exact same day.
