      Yesterday night, Hong Kong police stormed several subway stations after the protests. Videos emerging have been showing passengers being beaten and pepper sprayed in confined spaces. https://twitter.com/ariahychen/status/1167996538762625027 …

      I was on the MTR (Hong Kong subway) just before all that happened. It was full of protesters and ordinary passengers going home. It’s ordinarily a very well run, amazing system that everybody relies. This isn’t a place where such scenes are normalized.https://twitter.com/journodannyaero/status/1167994686591496192 …

      WATCH: about 10 seconds into my clip. You can see the police captured & subdued a suspected protester but a riot cop hits the young guy repeated w/ the end of his baton. He is stopped further when the press (me) is spotted filming. pic.twitter.com/qqg0AgRuxD

      zeynep tufekci Retweeted Erin Hale

      This may look like a routine protest, but they are taking a huge risk. There is a legal injunction on the airport, with potentially very long jail sentences. And it’s a confined space with no way out. Hong Kong protesters have been remarkably tenacious.https://twitter.com/erinhale/status/1168051883505700864 …

      Note that the Hong Kong police were not being heckled by the protesters but whoever happens to be inside the airport. The protesters hadn’t entered the airport because of the way paperwork checks have been moved right outside the doors and the injunction.https://twitter.com/stegersaurus/status/1168090747251200001 …

      You know that there is no universal suffrage or true democracy in Hong Kong? In fact, that’s what they are demanding. To have a democratic voice rather than have to protest. https://twitter.com/noalgonick/status/1168126994132811776 …

      The protesters indeed had a major protest at the Hong Kong Airport today. The police shut down all the train lines out and also showed up at the ferry stations. Result: they walked for hours and got picked up by HongKongers who showed up to save them. 🤷‍♀️https://twitter.com/erinhale/status/1168153273234161665 …

      Today's the first day of school in Hong Kong and the student have called for a school strike. One sees riot police in robocop gear around town now, and ID checks and searches. It's a striking shift in how the city feels. (Below, Carrie Lam's alma mater)https://twitter.com/HongKongFP/status/1168363475459923968 …
