This is a benefit compilation. All money collected will go to the Sue The Abuser crowdfunding campaign, which is collecting money to help 10 victims of police brutality in Hong Kong seek justice in the court.
During the progress of the ongoing pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, a shocking display of abuse, mistreatment, torture, unlawful arrests, and sexual assault was reportedly perpetrated against the members of public (including bystanders not participating in the protests), the press, and first aiders by the Hong Kong Police Force (see below). A group of 10 individuals is currently looking to sue the HKPF for these events. As Hong Kong Free Press has reported, "The funds will be used for hiring expert witnesses and lawyers, and also for legal fees if plaintiffs lose."
