Four protesters in the anti-extradition movement, including Tsang Chi-kit, a former high school student shot in the chest by the police, were arrested on July 13 in Pak Tam Chung, Sai Kung. The court had wanted them for failing to appear on the appointed date. They were reportedly arrested when they were about to flee to Taiwan.
To the media’s surprise, these four men were handled differently by the police as they were escorted to court the day after their arrest. Current affairs commentators believe that this show by the police was intended to intimidate and divide the resistance and opposition.
