  4. The "yellow object" was a man from the organization made up of primarily seniors and middle-agers who are on the frontlines protecting young protestors. just objectified a living human being. Same man was then arrested for assaulting officers. 🤔

  7. As we've been saying all along: is using one lie to cover another and it's now snowballing out of control. Which is why the removal of Carrie matters little to now. What we need is an independent investigation on !

    Wonder why can come up with different reasons for arrest every day? Because they can do whatever they want, follow no rules and laws. We have to fight against this abuse of power. Join the worldwide march.

    Riot police are now incredibly aggressively singling out individual bystanders & journalists for no reason & remonstrating with them by Mong Kok police station; appallingly unprofessional behaviour. Based on this attitude it could get very nasty tonight.

    Dear friends, I need to take a few hours of a short break. My shoulder is in searing pain from weeks of work cramped on a phone and frantically typing away at odd hours. Will try best to RT vids and updates as there are demonstrations happening across major shopping malls today

    According to their TG channel, they have a pretty extensive questionnaire asked via secret chat on to verify the need for a phone from these kids. Even photos of injuries are shown as proof. Hand written notes are also ways to show donors where their phones have gone to

    Please also note that this isn't a dumping site for unwanted electronics. Please offer a working phone, charger and cables which do the work properly and not any half-ass equipment. For other material donation, the group does not actively collect them but may be able to take them

    Given the importance of in the movement, having a smart phone is key, and a lot of kids have had their phones broken or confiscated for various reasons. The group is doing this voluntarily and have just started. They could really use your help. 1st recipient here:

    Here is how every person can help kids in the . A group is collecting used phones (no Chinese ones), wiping them, reset etc and giving it to kids whose most prized item might have been confiscated or broken. Many can't afford new phones.
