This is how they treat a democratically elected legislator in HK, who represents 491 thousand voters who voted for him. That's more votes than it takes to elect some senators in the US, from a city of 7.5 million. He is now under arrest and hospitalized. Shame on HK gov't! Shame on HK 'police'!

You see how his shirt is soaked? That is pepper spray.

​

Edit: As seen in this video, pepper-spray in HK is of a milky-white colour, and the police are using it liberally. Another reporter said that the ground was covered with pepper-spray after the police continuous use of the chemical, and his head, neck and back are painful after held on the ground.

Kwong has suffered neck injury during the arrest. On the legislator’s official fb page, he has denied the police’s allegation of “throwing water bottle”. He is one of 18 people in hospital over Mother’s Day protest. Around 230 people was arrested.

If I can draw your attention to earlier events in the day, a 13 year old student reporter was detained after bullied by the police. And this is a baby suffering from pepper-spray projectile fired indoor by the police.

Lastly, I would like to share this with you. Against all the oppression and violence, we are still back. Please stay tuned.

I'm sorry, can someone explain what happened to him?

Here's video of his arrest.

Note the police officer kneeling on his head as soon as he's down, and the one pepper-spraying the journalists trying to film it.
