We are planning to send a letter to report the Hong Kong Police Force's (HKPF) excessive violence and misconduct in recent Hong Kong protests to the International Police Association (IPA) 國際警察協會, where HKPF is one of the members.



With the letter detailing HKPF's excessive violence and showcasing the evidence, we would like to plead with IPA to take the following actions:

1. Condemn HKPF for its excessive violence, damaging the reputation of police worldwide who adhere to the principle of protecting their citizens.

2. Re-examine and consider suspending HKPF’s membership.

3. Advise HKPF to restrain from violating the UN Human Rights Standards and Practice for the Police in future protests.

4. Support the setting up of an independent committee to investigate police brutality and misconduct in this series of unfortunate events.

Thank you for your support!
