Events in the year 2019 in Hong Kong.
The 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests were a series of demonstrations against the Hong Kong government's introduction of a bill to amend the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance in regard to extradition. It was the largest series of demonstrations in the history of Hong Kong.
The 2019 Yuen Long attack,also known as the 721 incident,refers to a mob attack that occurred in Yuen Long,a town in the New Territories of Hong Kong,on the evening of 21 July 2019. It took place in the context of the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests. An armed mob of suspected triad members dressed in white indiscriminately attacked civilians on streets with steel rods and rattan canes,before attacking members of the public in nearby Yuen Long station including the elderly,children,protesters returning from a demonstration in Sheung Wan on Hong Kong Island,journalists and lawmakers.
The period from March to June 2019 in the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests is considered the early stage of the movement. Until the first mass demonstrations in June,protests were focused on the withdrawal of the extradition bill. In June,protesters started to lay out five demands. The additional four demands concerned the reactions of the Hong Kong government and especially,the police to the protests,and called more broadly for full democracy in the city.
The founding cause of the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests was the proposed legislation of the 2019 Hong Kong extradition bill. However,other causes have been pointed out,such as demands for democratic reform,the Causeway Bay Books disappearances,or a general fear of losing a "high degree of autonomy". The Hong Kong protests are unique in this respect from democracy protests in general,which are often provoked by economic grievances. Subsequent actions by the police,such as mass arrests and police violence,as well as what was perceived to be an illegitimate legislative process of the bill,sparked additional protests throughout the city.
The Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) struggled with corruption among its ranks from the 1940s until the 1970s. It gained the nickname "Asia's Finest" after undergoing reforms in 1979. Since the 2010s,the force has faced allegations of police brutality,sexual assault,excessive use of violence,falsification of evidence,and a lack of professionalism.
The conduct of the Hong Kong Police Force is a subject of controversy during the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests. Tactics employed by the force have led to misconduct allegations and protesters have accused the Hong Kong government of using the police as a method to resolve a "lingering political crisis." Actions taken by the police force and the Hong Kong government have caused mixed reactions inside Hong Kong and in the general international community. Allegations against the police include excessive use of force,force against unspecific targets,and arrest without warrant. These allegations have been presented in various media both supporting and detracting from the complaints,such as through amateur video. In general,the spirit,rumors,videos,and other media shared by the public have caused a drop in support for the police force,and an Amnesty International report accused the police of using excessive force against civilians. One of the objectives of the 2019–2020 protests is establishment of an independent inquiry system into said allegations.
