This is something that's boiled my blood for decades.
Police brutality in cells, to extract confessions, has been an ongoing problem dating back as long as Hong Kong has existed (180 years). As has the entanglement and nexus between Triads and police.
And by all accounts, police impunity has increased exponentially over the last 3 years.
This is just another typical example.
news.rthk.hk
An incredibly thin and flimsy report.
Two dead. Five arrested.
Gambling den raid.
That's it.
What may we surmise, dear Watson?
A "gambling den" in an industrial building you say ...
Was the building predominately used for residential purposes, many (if not most,) in Kwun Tong are used in this way?
No doubt this was a small unit with just seven people inside. A real big-time gambling den, yeah?
Nevertheless, this was a targetted bust. A tip off. Or a cleansing of people intertwined with the nexus.
Two men have Hong Kong names. Wong, 46 and Choi, 58. They're both dead. Supposedly they were "climbing on the side of the building, when apparently they slipped and fell".
Hmmmmm. It happens too frequently here.
One, male, Chinese mainlander and four local women were arrested.
We may surmise that the Chinese male was the 62 year old. And the four local females were those aged 26 to ??????? 28? 30? year olds.
Probably working girls - and all respect where due (and puns aside), they work fucking hard for their money!
That's it!
And there will be no further reporting.
And no further police investigations.
And no enquiries of any value or meaning.
Just a coroners report that parrots the police testimony.
In the current environment, under the newly established regime and the National Security umbrella, we can only expect* this kind of police impunity to spread and increase throughout the criminal justice system.
The precipitous decimation of the rule of law is all but complete.
Hong Kong is already, clearly, a Police State.
So fast. So hard. So terrifying. So sad.
Too late now.
(Edit: Expect, not expected*.)
Woof
