#hong kong night
Christmas Eve in Hong Kong
Police celebrated by shooting teargas, even in crowded area like Tsim Sha Tsui, where people go to celebrate.
The police are murdering us slowly
Teargas is the most popular choice for the police to disperse the protesters, also their preferred weapons.
Since June, there are cases where people (including protesters, journalists and passersby) were hit by the teargas can and injured.
The worst thing is, the latest batch of teargas used by the police is made in China, and journalists and experts have noticed the dioxin it releases is high, whenever the police use the teargas, they are poisoning all the people in the scene. And the chemical is also affecting the ecological environment in Hongkong.
(Trigger warning)
Dead bodies of birds, squirrels and hawks are founded in districts that were bombarded with teargas.
The use of teargas not only is damaging to people’s health (dioxin can caused cancer and miscarriages) , it is having an irreversible impact on our environment.
The police had been surrounded the Polytechnic University for 2 days, some of the student’s parents started a sit-in to support the students, later more and more people join in.
There are people calling others to go to the Polytechnic University after work in order to help evacuate the students, people gathered in the Tsim Sha Tsui area and walked to the university, most of them do not have any protective gears as they rush to the scene after work. Though the police used teargas and water cannons on them, the group of people insisted walking to support the students.
In the past 30 years, Hongkongers had been holding Tiananmen vigil in the Victoria Park every 4th June, in memory of those who were killed in 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.
This year, the police cited health reasons for prohibiting commemoration. Still, people went to the park and gathered in different place to honor the victims.
Once the National Security Law is enforced, the annual commemoration is very likely will be illegal in the future, since the CCP had a record of accusing people with different opinions as Endangering National Security.
