警隊跟進使用武力建議 發射催淚煙後將加強指示群眾離開
The Independent Police Complaints Council held its regular meeting today (21st), at which police reported on 15 measures concerning the 52 recommendations in the anti-extradition bill report, including guidelines on the use of force and command strategies. Police stressed that tear gas is effective for dispersal and is harmless to the human body whether fired outdoors or indoors. The force has trained frontline and command personnel to strengthen instructions after tear gas is fired, ensuring that crowds have appropriate escape routes. Police will also expand the scope of applications for less-lethal weapons. A pepper-water launcher was introduced earlier, which police believe can reduce the impact on the surrounding environment.

Hong Kong’s last British governor accuses Beijing of ‘vengefully’ targeting city’s freedoms
In his new book, *Hong Kong Diary*, former Hong Kong governor Chris Patten recalls that, before he took office, the Chinese side had already expressed dissatisfaction to the British side over discussions about Hong Kong’s democratisation process. He also says that the recent wave of Hong Kong people moving to the UK has resulted in a loss of talent. In an interview with Agence France-Presse, he said Beijing had in recent years carried out a “retaliatory” crackdown on Hong Kong’s freedoms, and that the political upheaval began when Xi Jinping became general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee in 2012, which also made him increasingly angry.
