Looking up Pedder St now from Connaught Rd- protesters as far as the eye can see. It’s beautiful: office workers, young people, all kinds of ordinary citizens have just stood down the police. They may not attack us again until evening.pic.twitter.com/gPBkTorB10

Just got news of the old man set on fire in Ma On Shan, presumably by a protester. I can’t emphasise enough: it’s entirely unacceptable to attack civilians, let alone as gruesomely as this. If we say the police must pay for their crimes, we must too. I pray for the victim.

Apparently an image of the man after he was set on fire. It’s said he has 2nd degree burns to 30% of his body. Every protester I talk to strongly condemns the attack on him. No more attacks on civilians!pic.twitter.com/rBUuEHTmmr
