Last update date: 2020-05-15 18:28The Supervisory Commission announced in July last year that it was reviewing the anti-amendment campaign and the relevant report was finally released this afternoon (15th). Clifford Stott, a British scholar who has commented on the "inadequate power and independent investigation ability" of the IPCC and has withdrawn from its international expert group, also posted seven times on his personal Twitter to show his concern.
He mentioned the Yuen Long 721 incident twice, and also quoted the report as saying, "The IPCC has no investigative power to compel relevant persons to disclose information", which seems to echo the resignation statement that day. He also said ironically, referring to the report's "interesting" interpretation of the demonstrators' masks, arguing that there is no contemporary scientific evidence to support his related claims.
The farther away a society is from the truth, the more afraid it is to reveal the truth. The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it.

— Clifford Stott (@cliffordstott) May 15, 2020Clifford Stott, Dean of the Institute of Natural Sciences at Keele University in the United Kingdom, was invited to join one of the five international expert groups. However, in November last year, the expert group jointly issued a statement saying that the IPCC "has insufficient power and independent investigative capabilities" and considers it necessary. To strengthen the ability to obtain evidence, the interim report can be completed, and in December, five experts even announced a collective resignation. The chairman of the Supervisory Commission, Liang Dingbang, denied the resignation at the time and only stated that they had completed "phased work", so they withdrew first.
The report was publicly released today, which highlights the causes and consequences of the six major anti-amendment incidents and police actions. During the press conference of the Supervisory Commission, Clifford Stott also published multiple Twitter posts expressing personal opinions, including questioning the application of the Interpretation of Expert Opinions by the Supervisory Commission, as well as the lack of data collection and investigation authority.
In the fourth chapter of the report, it is mentioned in an overview that during the demonstrations, the more aggressive demonstrators adopted the "Black Bloc" strategy, which masked the crowd to cover up their identity. Other peaceful demonstrators also put on masks and Encouraging them and seeing them as support or backing, and even for courage, Clifford Stott said ironically, the police will report "interesting" "application" expert confessions to support the distorted text. Individualization theory. According to the report of the Supervision and Inspection Commission, relevant statements were supported by Dr. Peihong Xu, a former clinical psychologist of the police and a former lecturer of the Department of Psychology of the University of Hong Kong.
Clifford Stott counterattacked, and has yet to find contemporary scientific evidence of the dynamics of the relevant population, which seems to question the police ’s masked interpretation of the demonstrators. He then attached the research evidence that the panel of experts was entrusted by the Supervisory Commission in September last year to the police and the demonstrators wearing masks during demonstrations in other overseas countries. The article mentions that various countries handle demonstrators in different ways. Some countries have tried to introduce anti-masking forces. However, as the behavior and strategies of demonstrators change, the legislation is controversial and fails to gain sufficient political support.

Clifford Stott also mentioned the Yuen Long 721 incident twice. He commented that the IPCC reproduced the discussion, referring to the unreasonable view of the police from the 721 incident, which was caused by misunderstanding (IPCC reproduces narrative that public view of police illegitimacy that grew from incidents on 21st July were based on misunderstanding.), and then quoted the "missed opportunity theory" described in the report. Evolve into a focal point of movement. "
He was also concerned about the detention situation in Xinwuling. He quoted the report as saying that unlike the central computer system of other police stations, Xinwuling handles records manually, and records such as medical requests are incomplete.
Clifford Stott also quoted George Orwell, author of the anti-totalitarian novel "1984", "The more a society is far from the truth, the more afraid it is to reveal the truth", referring to the report of the IPCC to create "new truth" (New truth).
