It is politically naive, bordering wishful thinking, that Chan’s verdict will be accepted wholeheartedly by the supporters and sympathisers of Lam, the six convicted men and many others in the society as the authoritative verdict.

Here's an example on how #Beijing tries to silence #media (#RTHK in this case) and a #journalist who simply used a publicly accessible data base of number plates to uncover who was behind sending white-dressed #Triads thugs to beat up pro-#democracy protestors at #YuenLong MRT station.
While #BaoChoy was not sentenced to a jail term, the hefty fine certainly serves as an intimidating warning to investigative journalism in all of #HongKong.

Hong Kong court convicts journalist who investigated metro attack

Case against RTHK producer Bao Choy has become central to Hong Kong authorities’ press clampdown

Hong Kong police ‘under investigation’ over Yuen Long attacks

Independent Commission Against Corruption has set up dedicated group to handle probe, with officers collecting security camera footage from businesses in the town.

#YuenLong 今天的事安全结束了。作为“局外人”我觉得这是最好的结果,双方都很克制,都在等对方犯一个不可饶恕的错,但都没等到。这样虽然事情总体走向还是胶着,但总好过变成一塌糊涂的烂摊子。
Ladies and gentlemen, can we have a very #slowclap for #HongKong's #police for not allowing a protest in #YuenLong, citing the violence that *erupted* after protest in the same place last weekend. That violence was one-sided, from #Triad #thugs that were not bothered by the cops. First let the protestors get beaten, then outlaw the protest. This is unacceptable, to the streets for #freedoms and #civicrights. Oh, and: #FuckChina!
Has anyone checked if the attacking thugs in white shirts speak #Cantonese (as people in #HongKong do) or #Mandarin? That would be a giveaway on where those thugs came from - *mainland* #authoritarian shithole #China that is. #YuenLong is where #Beijing has shown that it's more than willing to cooperate with #triads to smash #civicrights. Fuck China's CCP, they are enemies of all kinds of #freedom.
The #violence of #Triad thugs from #China against pro-#democracy demonstrators in #YuenLong's MRT station cannot go unsanctioned. Sadly the #police chose not to intervene and the thugs have left #HongKong for China by now. This is a dangerous precedent. If protestors are not protected fro thugs, they will organize their own protection. This is no internal struggle however, but a blunt provocation by #Beijing. https://t.co/YLjoOljcQC
