HK police warn against teachers leading students into violent acts
    2019-12-10  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

THE Hong Kong police warned yesterday that teachers should prevent students from taking part in violent and destructive acts instead of leading them to do so.

The police conducted preemptive patrols at multiple locations across Hong Kong early yesterday morning to prevent disruptions of traffic initiated by radicals.

In Sheung Shui, the New Territories, the police intercepted and checked 12 people, and seized various weapons and instruments to be used for road blockage and vandalism, including nails, electric drills, homemade barricades for puncturing tires, and flammable liquid and glass bottles to be used to make petrol bombs.

The 10 males and two females yesterday were arrested for unlawful assembly and possession of instruments fit for unlawful purposes.

Chief Superintendent of Police Public Relations Branch (PPRB) Kwok Ka-chuen said what alarmed the police most is that six of the arrested are students and one is a teacher.

“Teachers are supposed to nurture young talents and groom them into future leaders. They certainly should make a clear stand against violence and do all they can to prevent students from continuing with these destructive acts, instead of leading them to do so,” Kwok told a press briefing yesterday.

According to Senior Superintendent of PPRB Kong Wing-cheung, since June 9 the police have arrested 6,022 people for offenses including unlawful assembly, participation in riots and possession of offensive weapons.

Among them, 2,393 people, or about 40 percent, are students, which is a worrying situation, Kong said.

Over the weekend, the police arrested a total of 42 people for offenses such as possession of a firearm without a license, possession of offensive weapons, conspiracy to commit bodily harm and unlawful assembly.

Among the 42 people, 11 were arrested early Sunday in an operation in which the police seized a large amount of weapons suspected to be used by radicals in a demonstration Sunday afternoon. (Xinhua)
