Unknown men surround district council; police say plainclothes officers were “patrolling”; Yuen Ka-wai: “Do they think district councillors are criminals?”
不明男子包圍區議會 警稱便衣警「巡邏」 袁嘉蔚：係咪覺得區議員就係罪犯？
Southern District Councillor Yuen Ka-wai found that unidentified people were following her and guarding the entrances to the district council outside Yat Hong Residence when she attended a district council meeting today (10 September). George Gang Yu, the Western District Police District community relations officer, later acknowledged at the meeting that the people were plainclothes police officers, saying they were conducting “anti-crime patrols”. Yuen questioned, “Why patrol at the district council? Do they think district councillors are criminals?” She criticised the police operation, saying it not only spread white terror but also obstructed councillors’ work.
南區區議員袁嘉蔚今日（9月10日）出席區議會會議時，發現逸港居的大樓前有不明人士跟蹤及守住區議會出入口。其後，西區警區警民關係主任余剛於區議會會議上承認該批人士為便衣警員，稱他們正進行「反罪惡巡邏」。袁嘉蔚質疑「點解會喺區議會巡邏，係咪覺得區議員就係罪犯？」她批評警方做法不但散播白色恐怖，亦阻礙議員工作。
