HONG KONG - Several hundred Hong Kong protesters gathered on Tuesday at the site of an attack six months ago by an armed mob on anti-government demonstrators, denouncing the lack of progress by police in bringing those responsible to justice.

The youth-led protests, including mass marches, petrol bomb attacks and battles on university campuses, have since morphed into a broader revolt against authorities and strong-arm Chinese rule. Yuen Long district councilor Tommy Cheung, who has helped set up a task force to probe the attack, said none of the 37 men arrested so far, some with organized criminal gang backgrounds, had yet seen their cases go to trial.

More than 7,000 protesters have been arrested in connection with the protests so far, including nearly 1,000 who have been charged. Police dispersed the protesters on Tuesday with pepper spray and made several arrests during a face-off in a nearby park.

In this day, HKPoliceTerrorism tell HK citizens what is ture. We never believe police anymore.

Because some of hongkong police live at Yeung Long, they are the planner of the attack, how they will arrest the thugs? They live there, thugs is their friend or family, they will arrest they friend? They just arrest 6 thugs for a show

YuenLongAttack revealed how Triad cooperates with HKPolice to fulfill dirty jobs assigned by Chinazi CCP grants FULL POLITICAL POWER to HKPoliceState to test limit of RuleOfLaw HKers need Independent Inquiry to unmask the truth, we need MagnitskyAct passed worldwide

HK people can never forget this scene and how the violent police react. HKPoliceTerrorism hksos standwithhk hkpolicestate

The double standard for handling white mob and protesters is so obviously. There is no excuse to the inaction, unless there is a collusion.

The riot police is useless once they chose to side with triad gangsters n hurt the civilians. No one sensei left would forgive the once who let the gangsters beat the citizens. Please make it internatiknal, send the wake up call to countries that r still indulging in the badly.

Hkpolice violates the law again n again. Can the international society do something to stop them? I am just an ordinary housewife but have to cry out loud SOS.the Hk youth needs help.

Not 'after six months' It should be 'over six months' brutal mob attacks have never stopped. StandWithHongKong BoycottChina AnywherebutChina CCP_is_terrorist HKPoliceTerrorists HKPoliceState hkpolicebrutality

HKPolice they should admit the fault which what they did ! 721, 831 101 ....... we won’t forget we won’t forgive !

“police inaction” is putting it mildly; to most Hong Kongers, the Hong Kong Police Force have lost the trust of most sensible citizens as we witnessed how the Police collaborated with gangster to attack Hong Kong people indiscriminately 721YuenLongAttack

Only less than 10 mobs got arrested but there’re still have than hundreds still out of the law just because HongKongPolice did not work. No one would believe there has no police-gang collusion.

It’s been six months and after so many got wounded and many more traumatised Just a few triad members have been arrested for this incident, and none of the police officers are bearing the responsibility for it We’ll never forget how did the police treat the triad members and us

Very innocent young boy passing by the area and yet being sat on his head, pepper sprayed and beaten up in blood...SOSHK Being young is not a crime! It’s a crime for oppressing people’ voices via violence and death! antichinazi StandwithHK

We will never the day police gave away all its’ responsibilities

Never forget the brutal mob attack covered by the HK Police. hkpolicebrutality YuenLongAttack

Since the Hong Kong Police turned their backs on Hong Kong people during the 721TerroristAttack/721YuenLongAttack, they have become HKPoliceTerrorists & Hong Kong has become HKPoliceState

HK Police = Legal Terrorists.

The 721TerrorAttack is police triads collusion deployed by puppet government to oppress civilians for submission. Police brutality and thugs attack are connived deliberately and continuously. Hong Kongers will never forget and must resist the corruptive and inhumane bureaucracy.

Never forget, never forgive. How is justice served when all those terrorists beating up civilians caught on livestream were't arrested? 7K+ arrests of pro-democracy protesters while only 37 thugs out of hundreds were arrested, only 7 were actually prosecuted.

NEVER FORGET NEVER FORGIVE HKPoliceState HKPoliceTerrorists hkpolicebrutality soshk 🆘

Instead of 'inaction', 'cooperation' should be the better terms in describing the situation on 721. HKPoliceTerrorism hkpolicebrutality HKPoliceState

It cannot be forgotten, it's a big shame to Hong Kong Police.

Hong Kong people won't forget how HK police treated the citizens in 21July👇🏼 Half year passed,we still got no independent investigation/no apology from HKPF,don't even mention any punishment on their wrongdoings. So we must keep fighting for 5DemandsNot1Less to hv justice back.

Yes, Hongkongers want justice! We don’t allow our systems corrupt so seriously and quickly!

Never forgive never forget 721TerroristAttack HKPoliceState

HongKongPolice choose leaving when they see someone is committing crimes

Free Hong Kong FreeHK FreeHongKong StandWithHongKong

Totally Terrorists attack.

Thanks for your attention!

We want justice for all of the victims in 721yuenlong attack and also people who have been tortured by the officers in the past 7 months. HK Police just turned a blind eye to the pro-Beijing supports who attacked protesters and arrested civilians indiscriminately. PoliceState

Police does not protect the public in hongkong. This is the way the Chinese government is treating the blind, the kids and the intellect, and many others in the opposition. CCP_is_terrorist StandWithHongKong

I never forget that scene:2 police officers came. When they saw the mobs, they turned around and left. Another scene: riot police was seen chatting with the mobs.Emergency call service was shut down by police. Police station was closed. 721=Police in cahoots with gangs

Just so you know, a 15 years old boy was beaten by a dozen riot police and this is the scene afterward. They barred reporters from going near before they finished beating him, this is the aftermath.

It is already half year from Yuen Long 7.21! The gangsters have not yet been arrested! This is HKPolice - Gangster cooperation! SOSHK

Yuen Long 721 night will always be remembered and mentioned

‘We just want the truth’— Police force was well aware of the risk of violence from white-clad mob and did nothing to avert it on Jul 21. 721YuenLongAttack standwithhk

When injustices happened, hker stand because of our conscience and wisdom. The mob attack might not hurt whoever you know, but they are all hkers and freedom fighters. StandWithHongKong

The fact is that HKPoliceTerrorists deliberately work with the thugs in order to terrify HKProtesters on 721 by turning a blind eye on the white-shirt thugs’ attack to innocence. Same thing repeated on 831, but this time the police did the drama themselves.

721 attack destroyed our trust to Hong Kong police. No more justice but just standing with triads to protect its authority. Never forget hkpolicebrutality. Urge international communities to investigate HKPoliceTerroris, and also pass MagnitskyAct to sanction China!

It’s not just inaction. It’s a well-planned collusion. Now HKPolice only arranged an internal investigation, but they have no credibility at all! We need an independent probe on the 721YuenLongAttack.

octopusscity Brutal mob attack : inaction Brutal police attack : inaction The same logic applied. HKPoliceState HKPoliceTerrorists

We will carry on until the day we get FiveDemandsNotOneLess

HKers will never forget July 21's attack on civilians in Yuen Long station and police's choice to hide and close police stations. They only arrived at the scene in perfect timing as the mob retreated (still within cops sight) We will never forget. Never! Standwithhongkong

We accept the existence of triad but we can’t accept the non existence of enforcement body That’s why these are HongKongPoliceTerrorists 721YuenLongAttack

HKPoliceTerrorists NeverForget

It’s time for the world to against the human right abuser CCP together by joining ABC_challenge, which aims to minimise the economic profits of CCP. Please do not send bullet to CCP slaughtering our young generation. BoycottChina

HongKongers will not forget and forgive HKPolice what did to us, police violence and sexual assault continue happen on arrested people past 7 month, HKpolice is actually crime against humanity, sanctions must be need

HKPoliceTerrorists and CCPChina will use every means to suppress our voice, but we will never surrender May God bless HongKong boycottBeijing2022 chinazi China_is_terrorist

The organizer publicly announced the assembly ended and ask people to leave. Calling him *inciting the crowd* is framing him. Do you even know this is a leaderless movement for over 7 months?🤨Do you really think the Hong Kong crowd need someone to *incite* them? Violent extremists are insisting in endangering: Hong Kong 🇭🇰 stability and progress. Not one country in the 🌎can tolerate, a continous exercise of violence link to domestic terrorism and shield with impunity. amazing how Hong Kong citizens are willing to die for democracy and our president is dismantling it piece by piece. his supporters and enablers should be ashamed of themselves

Police arrest organiser of Hong Kong protest after rally turns violentA prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy activist was arrested by police after a protest he helped organize in the financial district a day earlier turned violent The only reason he was arrested was because he was arrested. The police didn't arrest him because he was arrested. They were arrested because they had a warrant. These young people in Hong Kong have enough sense to reject socialism. Hello!? Pro-democracy? I am not sure how you describe someone who promotes bullying and harming the family of police officers and anyone who have a different opinion to theirs as pro-democracy? May be pro-dictatorship~
