母親節的香港依舊不安。今（10日）香港網民發起「母親節行街」及「與你sing」活動，但晚上香港商場裡，一位年僅13歲的學生因為參與現場報導，遭員警質疑與言語奚落，被帶回警局偵訊，最後釋放。（攝影／劉貳龍）

警方自下午便在多數商場驅散民眾，與民眾發生數次衝突與推擠，讓原本應該是家族團圓充滿溫馨的母親節，染上了一絲不安的氣氛。（攝影／劉貳龍）

直到晚間10點，仍有逾百位的記者、民眾與防暴警察在旺角附近對峙，警方不斷以麥克風要求現場民眾離開，也有疑似戴口罩的便衣警員把市民制服在地上，警方與民眾發生零星的推擠。（攝影／劉貳龍）

Latest for @dw_chinese - Into its seventh month, there is no sign that the #HongKongProtest would stop anytime soon. I talked to @KongTsungGan about the recent changes to the movement and how he thinks the movement might develop as we get close to the end of 2019.

https://twitter.com/dw_chinese/status/1209438570869448705

@dw_chinese @KongTsungGan With two major rallies attracting hundreds of thousands of protesters onto the street since the DC election, Kong thinks that this is a strong indication that protesters still have strong motivations to demonstrate on the street.

@dw_chinese @KongTsungGan To him, the biggest difference is the absence of frontline protesters in large numbers. "Frontline protesters haven't carried out any large-scale actions since before District Council elections. That's the main way things have changed," he told me.

Second fav — a Heart created by #HongKongProtesters’ umbrellas in a rally. They chanted “#Love is more powerful than #Violence. STOP #policebrutalityhk!”

This creative❤️ is echoing HK Gov’s propaganda:

Ain’t sure where head of the procession is, but Hennessy Road and all the side streets are alrdy filled with experienced marchers waiting to cut the queue. Likely another massive turnout for today’s CHRF march, one of the biggest we’ve seen in a while as many woleifei’re back.

You know things are about to start...when luxury shops are pulling down their shutters.

Quite a delay in uploading videos. Connection is bad. But hey, here’s Pepe crossover Sesame Street?

ATL🇺🇸 in #HongKong: THREAD 1/n

Today SO MUCH in one short video:

* Melee of press, #police, protesters & tourists
* #HongKongProtester being arrested
* UK tourist watching atop the silver sculpture
* Sound of pepper spray being sprayed (fountain-style)
* Tear gas being shot

#HongKong THREAD 2/n

I'm not here to be at the front lines (this guy👇👇👇 is), but to visit with some #HongKongers & their supporters involved.

Think of it as American Thought Leaders🇺🇸, #HongKong Edition, & why not ATL🇺🇸—it's been said that this resembles, in some ways, 1776.

#HongKongProtests THREAD 3/n

Meet conflict reporter @Michael_Yon (with gas mask & orange vest) & #HongKong videographer Eric Fok @RazvenHK (donning mask).

Ok, before you meet them, meet the rather assertive #HongKongPolice. Big blue sign means "this protest is unauthorized."

An hour past the “deadline”. This looks to be the final stand—entrance to #PolyU. Intermittent chants by remaining protestors & heckling@police. No idea what’s going on inside campus. But there are ppl who wanna leave but are trapped & afraid to try. #HongKongProtests #HongKong

Water cannon, TG deployed 5-10mins ago, and more TG now as protestors start hurling petrol bombs towards the Chatham Rd intersection. Protestor line holding. #HongKong #HongKongProtesters

Protestor being treated and helped into campus. The frontline has grown 200-300, w/ppl ferrying supplies in and out of campus. Another line guarding Science Museum Rd. #HongKong #PolyU #HongKongProtesters

That was one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. At PolyU now. This is after an armored vehicle made a charge for the protesters on the bridge only to get engulfed in flames after petrol bombs were thrown. It reversed, while on fire, as police fired teargas. #HongKongProtest

It’s 4am. A group of journalists have set up camp in a room at PolyU, watching the live-streams. Downstairs, protesters continue clashing with police as they have for 19 hours. Outside, Yau Tsim Mong District seems to be in chaos. Many journos have left, fearing their safety.

Police attacked campus. Fire on the bridge and at the main entrance.
Explosions heard on bridge from Molotovs. I’ve seen a couple protesters sobbing hysterically in fear. Protesters trying to put entrance fire out.

@caitschult2

Can we talk about #POWER instead of "violence," please? #Violence is a broad label that gets thrown around in the #HongKongprotest context, and it's basically meaningless.

When people say they can't condone violence, what I hear them say is: "I condone powerful systems of #oppression and #institutionalviolence, and protesters taking a small bit of power back into their own hands makes me uncomfortable."

People who are uncomfortable with protesters fighting strong power with weak power need to examine their priorities.

#BREAKING: Local reporters protest at the daily police presser a second time accusing the police of lying. Yesterday, two reporters were arrested when covering the #antiELAB protest. Freelance reporter Amy Ip @amyipkaman also called on others to boycott the presser late week.

#LIVE: Police are trying to expel these six reporters from four local media outlets. However, they refuse. A police representative, therefore, puts a halt to the press conference. #antiELAB #HongKongProtests

#LIVE: Although the police representative keeps saying those reporters who put signs on their helmets are obstructing other reporters, others immediately respond and say none has obstructed them. They keep giving the police representative the silent treatment. #HongKongProtest

The Trolls Are Back: My latest story w @asebenius looks at new research showing how social media attacks on Hong Kong’s protesters have persevered despite take downs bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @bpolitics @pelstrom @dantenkate

Out of around 30,000 accounts that tweeted about the protests, about a third were created since August says @AstroscreenHQ and @donara_barojan

They follow a pattern: less than 10 followers, uses a generic photo to disguise identity, tweet primarily about protests, use generic hashtags like #hongkongprotest to avoid detection. Many posts now appear in English in apparent bid to sway global opinion, says @donara_barojan

so-called “special traffic arrangements” at famous Lan Kwai Fong is just another example of #HKGov’s OPPRESSION on civilians’ #freedom of assembly, freedom of celebrating #Halloween

Tons of water-filled BARRIERS are offloading in LKF - #AntiMaskLaw.

#HKPoliceState #HongKong

Back in 1993, a tragedy #LanKwaiFong Stampede happened on New Year day, killing 20 & injuried 100+ on the SLOPING street.

See wht #HKPolice doing NOW make us wonder if they’re planning another one.

"So everytime we do have a peaceful parade or march, it's just that every time there’s police coming out to provoke us. If they don’t come out, they don’t suddenly raise their flag, everytime it will be fine, it will be peaceful."

"There are mysterious suicides everyday and there have been at least 114 mysterious suicides since the beginning of the time revolution in June, and we can see police brutality on the frontline on a daily basis."
