After one year, #HKPoliceBrutality intensifies. Tonight #hkpolice suddenly charged at unarmed #HKers causing chaos that made a pregnant woman fallen on the ground. #Police then pepper-sprayed reporters to stop them from reporting. #HongKongProtests
[First anniversary of #831 #PrinceEdward attack]
1. In the past year, everything worsens in #HK, with a draconian #NationalSecurityLaw imposed, textbooks censored, #hkprotesters forced into exile, and the fate of 12 asylum seekers now left unknown during detention in #China.

Video from another angle shows the woman was forcibly dragged by #hkpolice before she fell on the ground. #Police even fired pepper spray at those who tried to help her from falling. Clearly it's a disproportionate use of force targeting a pregnant woman!

Crazy arrests. The end of freedom of press in Hong Kong. The national security law is quashing the freedom of our society, spreading politics of fear.

There are now 7.5 million political prisoners in Hong Kong. Many can leave for now, including 300,000 Canadians living in the territory. But freedom from arbitrary detention an illusion after Beijing’s Stasi arrest media proprietor Jimmy Lai, champion of democracy & free speech.
