HONG KONG: A Hong Kong court on Wednesday ordered rail operator MTR Corp to hand over CCTV footage from a police operation at two subway stations during anti-government protests last year that a student leader plans to use to sue officers.
Defendant Kex Leung, who is student union president at the Education University, told reporters outside court on Wednesday he planned to use the footage to sue police over what he said was his illegal arrest. Hong Kong protests escalated in June last year, with some of the most fierce clashes erupting on Aug 31, when police fired tear gas at pro-democracy protesters throwing petrol bombs.
