Very proud to have some of my footage from Hong Kong 2019 protests included in this campaign against the use of tear gas.

We documented police forces using tear gas in ways that it was never intended to be used, often in large quantities against largely peaceful protesters or by firing projectiles directly at people, causing injuries and deaths. This is why you should care.

We are alarmed by reports of detentions in #HKSAR linked to June 4 anniversary. We urge the release of anyone detained for exercising freedom of expression & peaceful assembly. We call on authorities to fully abide by obligations under Int’l Covenant on Civil & Political Rights.

The thoughts of an elderly lady are clearly terrifying to the police state of Hong Kong.

Despite the fact that the Chinese Communist Party have been trying to erase the Tiananmen Square Massacre from history since 1989 and all mention of it in Hong Kong banned under threat of arrest for remembering the dead. We will never forget #NeverForget1984 #June4th #june1989

勇敢的香港人，“香港人不要怕，不要忘记明天是六四” 艺术家三木和其他艺术家在铜锣湾进行行为艺术的时候，被三十多个警察拘捕，一路高呼，提醒人们勿忘六四。多年传统，在六月三日香港艺术家动员提醒人们纪念六四。

#JUSTIN Artist Chan Meitung was taken away by police after standing and wandering on a street near Victoria Park for a while tonight. Police on the ground refused to confirm if it was an arrest. Cham was arrested on the same night last year when performing action arts.

In fear of peaceful people with candles showing up to pay their respects to victims of the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989. Pathetic.

A police armoured truck with flashing lights is spotted outside the Causeway Bay entrance of Victoria Park. Public broadcaster RTHK, citing unnamed sources, said police will deploy up to 6,000 officers tomorrow, the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown.
