1/ On the night of 21/07/19, over 100 white-clad men attacked commuters at the #YuenLong station, ≥45 people were injured and taken to hospital. 209 officers were on duty in YL that night, 2 were seen walking away from the scene.
2/ The public has made repeated, desperate calls to the police for help, but despite the fact that the nearest police station is only 1.2km away, it took them 39 minutes to arrive at the scene.
3/ It's later revealed, via communication logs obtained by @appledaily, that the police was ordered to stay put and NOT to offer immediate help to the victims of the attack.
4/ Weapon-wielding men who took part in the attacks were later seen chatting casually with the police. No arrest was made that night.
5/ Following the attacks, the government released a statement in the early hours of 22/07/19, calling the #721Attacks in Yuen Long "ASSAULT cases" in which commuters were attacked and injured.
6/ In the 1.5 years that follow, the police has been trying, using all means available, to rewrite history. The changes are so radical that the new account defies both evidence and common sense. The attacks are now "clashes between two rival groups".
7/ Ex-lawmaker Lam Cheuk-ting was among many assaulted by white-shirted thugs that evening.
8/ Despite being himself a victim of the #721attacks, Lam was arrested on 26/08/20 and charged with RIOTING for his "involvement" in the incident.
9/ Eight white-clad men, out of more than 100, have been arrested for their roles in the attacks. During their trials, the prosecution REDEFINED the attacks as "a violent conflict between black-shirted and white-shirted people" in its opening statement.
10/ Pro-democracy politician Winfield Chong has never been called by the prosecution to give evidence at the trials of the #721Attacks suspects, despite being named by the police as a "v. important witness" after having identified 2 of the attackers.
11/ #RTHK investigative journalist @Baochoy tried to find out more about the attacks and produced this award-winning programme "7.21 Who Owns the Truth". What she found challenges the official narrative. #HKConnection
12/ The programme was aired on 13/07/20. It identified people suspected to have taken part in the attacks using surveillance footage from nearby businesses and vehicle licence records. At least one plainclothes officer was spotted at the scene when a rod-wielding man walked by.
13/ On 03/11/20, Bao Choy was arrested for "improperly" using the public vehicle registration database to find the perpetrators of the #721Attacks.
14/ Today, Choy is convicted for making false statements to obtain vehicle ownership records and fined HK$6,000.
