Anti-Extradition Movement Fifth Anniversary · Interview | Hong Kong Government Seeks HK$1.7 Million in Compensation for Two Injured Officers; Released 7.14 Sha Tin Riot Convict Travels to Taiwan to Seek a Living
反送中5周年・專訪｜ 港府追討170萬＋兩傷警索償 7.14沙田暴動罪出獄手足赴台求生
Leung Pak-tin, a protester who admitted rioting during the police-civilian clashes at Sha Tin’s New Town Plaza in the 2019 Anti-Extradition Movement, received a demand in mid-May 2024—one year after completing his four-year sentence—from the Department of Justice, acting on behalf of the Commissioner of Police, seeking more than HK$1.7 million in sick leave and other employee compensation for two plainclothes officers injured in the case. He was given two weeks to repay the sum, or Leung would have to bear legal responsibility. On the fifth anniversary of the June 12 million-person march during the Anti-Extradition Movement, Leung travelled to Taiwan and is currently seeking to remain there. “I would rather sleep on the streets in Taiwan than be in Hong Kong, which has reached such a sad state. Sleeping on the streets in Taiwan is still more comfortable than being in Hong Kong.”
