我今晚放工後來加入你們....有甚麼物資需要冇?

我今晚都到!

我可以去麥當奴買漢堡包和咖啡奶茶......十份夠未....其他物質我冇.....

政府昨晚發表聲明，指古物諮詢委員會檢視過零二年就天星碼頭的拆卸計劃的討論文件和記錄，委員會當時對拆卸計劃沒有表示反對，只要求政府保留鐘樓及皇后碼頭有價值的組件，並考慮在中區新海濱內重建鐘樓及皇后碼頭。( (明報) 12月 13日 星期三 08:30AM )

根據最新消息，9位泛民議員現正跟孫明揚進行閉門會議，討論天星事宜。

今天咁大雨, 唔知拆樓工人會否停工.

講到去聲援, 我自己有點心中有愧, 原因係作為新界人, 平日我都唔會去天星碼頭, 甚至要看地圖同指示才去得到. 在這個情形下去聲援, 去聲討何志平, 有點平時唔理唔緊張, 到拆才臨急上陣, 自己都未講得服自己.

小西兄, 有最新消息嗎?

請記得帶食物、水、雨衣。

遠方支持留守的朋友。

清場後, 大家要準備長期抗爭, 現重新步署, 請留意. 另新的民間報導會盡快上...

Dear All,

To report on today as far as I know:
(backward chronological)

Loy came out of the police station in Sheung Wan around 1115pm. She spoke to the press briefly. She is fine physically and emotionally. Just a bit cold due to falling temperatures on the harbor front. Two of us gave their sweaters out.

I arrived at the police station around 1700. SEE network’s friend is already there. She was the only one inside the police station trying to talk to Loy, but police wouldn’t allow that. I asked that I be allowed to enter the station, so as to support Loy, even just spiritually. I was told by a police inspector 20407 that I couldn’t go in because ‘There are too many people inside.’ I knew from SEE that there is only one person inside. I was also told by 20407 that I could go in only if I am making a report to the police. I asked why. He said it’s for security. I said, ‘isn’t the police station supposed to be the safest?’ He and another constable replied, yes. And that’s why we have to protect the police station. I said, ‘ I thought police is here to protect the citizens, not just themselves.’ He said, ‘ only lawyers are allowed in.’ SEE has asked the kind help of lawyers from Ada’s office and they came at around 1800. They had been with Loy until Loy came out at around 2300.

Many supporters either from the Star seige last nite or from other units came to support Loy outside of the police station. At times, slogans were chanted to demand the release of Loy and to declare petitioning is not a crime. Banners were also displayed.

Earlier, I got a call from ger around 1530 that police are clearing the site. Soon afterwards, I got a call from a media friend. We sent out sms to tell people to call in live to commercial radio station so that the latest situation of ‘purging’ could be broadcast.

Around ten friends supporting the authentic star went up to CGO to join the press briefing Michael Suen called for at noon. When the press briefing was done (with SEE representatives and media activists asking questions, clearly and intelligently), we started shouting slogans and display a banner by hand. Security guards tried to stop us. We tried to block Suen’s way because we wanted him to meet us, and we wanted to express our ideas to him. Eventually, he was guarded out of the press site. Activists were interviewed by the press thereafter.

We got the news about Suen’s briefing at around 1130am at the Star site. A number of us decided to go there. At the same time, an elderly lady tried to hand some bread to petitioners inside the demolition site. Police tried to stop her. Many of us rushed to the support of the elderly lady.

Earlier in the day, some of us at the site did interviews with the press following up on the story.

One thing to add: when I was in the police station (police allowed only one person to be inside in support of Loy. A group of about 20 supporters remained outside, in the wind and rain, to support Loy), a police inspector (again, ‘Sam Tiu Chai’) chatted with his colleagues, and I quote:

‘I saw my daughter one day demonstrating on the streets and I was on duty. I struck her on her face. I was so angry. I pay $7000 every month for your university education, and you are studying “SEE PIN” (diapers)...i would say young people should rather join a triad society than the Federation of Students.’

For me and Loy inside, this talk is first, symbolic violence, second, tactful use of negative Public Relations to suppress our morale, and third, sad reality, that our law-enforcing agents have such a stereotypical view of ‘danger’, ‘threat’, and ‘nuisance’.

There is a lot of education work to do, a lot to learn.

May peace be with you all. Good rest. Sweet dreams.
