SAI WAN HO | HONG KONG - Demonstrations in an effort to strike a mass strike campaign that took place this morning, Monday (11/11/2019), not only hampered the flow of public transportation, but also affected other areas of life throughout Hong Kong. Among them, children's school activities and court trials.
"Bu Indah (PMI overstay case, in the process of repatriation) who was again heading to the Shatin Magistrats' Court (Shatin Court) with Pak Teguh (KJRI Hong Kong staff) was trapped in Lam Tin. All out-of-service transportation, including taxis, also refuse to carry passengers. Earlier, Pak Teguh informed me, "wrote the General Manager Dompet Dhuafa Hong Kong (DDHK), Imam Baihaqi, in the DDHK Publication Team group, this morning.
The same thing happened in other regions. “IN Choi Hung also the demonstrators blocked the highway with fences and trash cans. Traffic jam! I was in Siupa (minibus) since I couldn't walk. Alhamdulillah, there are already police. Hopefully it will be resolved soon, "said Puji, one of the volunteers of DDHK.
There was a shooting in Sai Wan Ho
There was an extraordinary incident this morning in the Sai Wan Ho area. Police shot demonstrators at close range. Protesters also blocked roads in the area.
According to the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department officer whom DDHKNews met this morning, roads in almost all areas of Hong Kong were jammed. Protesters and police are everywhere.
"There were 2 teenagers in Sai Wan Ho who were shot by the police with live bullets," he said.
As a result of this morning's demonstration, Imam Baihaqi's eldest son failed to attend school today. “My son who studies in Sai Wan Ho was also sent home. The school bus is stuck in a demo, ”said the General Manager of DDHK.
Hong Kong Radio and Television (RTHK) reported this morning that at least one protester was shot at close range in Sai Wan Ho. The incident took place outside the intersection of Shing On Street and Tai Shek Street, just before 8 a.m.
“A number of masked protesters threw debris onto the road as a traffic policeman rushed over to confront them. The officer pulled out his gun and pointed it straight at one of the protesters wearing a white hoodie at close range, before placing it on his head. Another protester in black shirts then approached. The officer immediately pointed a gun at him. The man ducked, then slapped the gun with his bare hands, before the officer appeared to open fire from less than half a meter away, with the gun aimed at the body of the protester, ”wrote RTHK.
Two more people, one in black shirts and one in gray, stepped forward to confront the officers. The police opened two more shots. Until finally the riot police arrived, assisting traffic officers, dealing with the protesters.
The ambulance arrived about 6 minutes after the shooting. At that moment the first person to be shot appeared to be barely moving, lying in a pool of blood.
