Request regarding HK police during the 2019 HK protests
Dear Hong Kong Police Force Administration Wing,
I have a few question regarding how the police responded to the 2019 protests
1) Arrests related to the protests (since June)
In terms of demographics : what age categories, gender, socio-economic categories ?
How many arrests led to legal proceedings (as opposed to short detention in custody)
Statistics of legal grounds pressed against protesters (riot? Assault? Arson? Criminal Damage? Weapons possession? Unlawful assembly?)
What were the 5 distinct events (or days) in which the most arrests were made ?
2) Do you have any breakout of the protests in terms of what cause they were defending?
Number of Pro-establishment protests ?
Number of Anti-establishment protests ?
How many arrests were made during Anti-establishment events and Pro-establishment events respectively ?
How many people were prosecuted following the Yuen Long events on 21st/22nd of July, 2019 ?
3) How many protests applications were accepted ? How many were rejected, and on what legal grounds ?
4) Injuries
How many protesters were injured according to your data?
How many policemen were injured ?
How many severe injuries (as opposed to superficial and non-permanent) have been recorded?
How many fatalities on both sides have been recorded?
5) Number of policemen in action since the beginning of the protests
Has there been any increase in the deployment of police forces since the beginning of the protests, if yes, what were their size ?
6) What anti-repression tools are used by the police (e.g. weapons, intervention techniques, guidelines) ?
Have there been any new anti-riot means deployed in the last 6 months ?
7) When is the IPCC (Independent Police Complaints Council) report going to be released ?
8) Do you have any official statistics on vandalism related to the protests ?
I thank you in advance
Yours faithfully,
Victor Alamercery
