When #hkpolice attempts to rewrite the history to justify its #PoliceBrutality in #Hongkong under #nationalsecuritylaw, we should insist on telling the truth. Congratulations! twitter.com/sopasia/status…

[Young protester says he was beaten by prison guards]
1/ A 21-year-old man told @Reuters he was beaten and humiliated by guards in prison. Guards routinely slapped him, hit him with rulers, and elbowed his spine at the Pik Uk Correctional Institution.

2/ "We sang protest anthem “Glory to HK” in the cell. We were punished the next day.” He said a guard told him to say thank you as he slapped him once. He said the prison guards hit them in ways to avoid bruising and scars and in places in the prison where there was no CCTV.

4/ He made an official complaint to the Correctional Services Department, but an internal investigation by the department concluded last year that his complaint was unfounded on the grounds that there was no evidence.

3/ Joshua Wong told Reuters he was subjected to demeaning treatment in prison, such as being made to squat naked while being questioned by guards in an area of the prison with no CCTV.

Saddened to hear the passing of #ChadwickBoseman. As a true warrior fighting till the very end, he inspired generations that everyone could be superheroes in their stories. Death is not the end. His spirit will live on forever. Rest in power, King #RIPBlackPanther #WakandaForever

It is our greatest fear that 12 HKers being detained now might face...Since their situation is extremely critical, given China's highly controversial system in Blackbox, we hope the world can keep watch on and especially hope that they can be back safe.

3. High false-negative rate: #COVID19 studies suggest that false-negative rate of current testers ranges from 20% to 100%. This unreliable testing result will create a misleading virus-free perception, which will further worsen the outbreaks in the community.

4. No scientific proof: WHO experts said board population testing is costly & unrealistic, while health minister of Taiwan also said universal testing is not practical to block sources of infection and stressed the importance of border closures instead.

@joshuawongcf
5. Risky sampling process: sampling process often induces coughs & sneezes, which pollute the air w/ droplets that can survive for days on surfaces. As all testing centers operate 12 hrs a day w/ limited time to disinfect, it only increases the risk of contact transmitted spread.

6. Unreliable laboratory: The laboratory responsible for HK universal testing, Sunrise, is owned by #China’s company BGI. BGI was found by Swedish govt that thousands of its test kits generate false positive results.nytimes.com/reuters/2020/0…

8. Given the unreliability of the test and high potential of DNA abuse for surveillance, #Hongkongers will boycott the proposed universal testing. We urge #HKgov to halt the plan and take other effective measures, such as full border seal, to curb the virus.

[Hong Kong health workers, activists urge boycott of mass testing] reuters.com/article/us-hea…
Joshua Wong said a full closure of the border would be a better measure than the government plan, adding, “It’s like having a pregnancy test without having birth control.”

@joshuawongcf
A Hong Kong pro-democracy union of healthcare workers and several activists, including Joshua Wong, called on Sunday for a boycott of the government’s universal coronavirus testing plan, in which medical staff from mainland China are set to assist.

For their Union Square rally today, our friends in New York did a splendid job building a full-size replica of Prince Edward Station's Exit B2. One year on, there are still so many unanswered questions about the August 31 incident. We demand the truth. twitter.com/NY4HK/status/1…

@joshuawongcf
I called on boycott the tests after cited Swedish reports of high rates of 3700 false-positive results returned by test kits from @TheBgiGroup Genomics, a firm involved in the program, and questioned the accuracy of the testing. scmp.com/news/hong-kong…

2. Recently #hkpolice just started to rewrite the history of #PoliceBrutality, turning lies into truths. From tomorrow on, #HKgov will impose a citywide DNA collection, which is considered as a prelude to more sophisticated surveillance regime in #Hongkong.

[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.

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 twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…
1575
@joshuawongcf
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!
