On September 22 last year, the body of a 15-year-old female student, Chen Yanlin, was found floating in the sea off Devil Mountain in Yau Tong. Earlier, the court ruled that the cause of Chen Yanlin’s death was in doubt.

Tonight (22nd) on the first anniversary of Chen Yanlin's death, some netizens launched a memorial service outside the Tiujingling Design Institute where Chen Yanlin studied before his death. Many people presented flowers and lit candles in a calm atmosphere.

At around 8 o'clock, the police pulled up the cordon and asked the reporters on the scene to stand against the wall "lined up" and wait for their documents to be checked. After being intercepted and checked, the police failed to return to the interview area near the altar.

The police today (22nd) announced that they will revise the definition of "media representative" under the General Police.

The Freelance reporter who was intercepted for investigation stated that Freelance reporters are not hired by a fixed media agency, and the agency cannot rush to issue press cards to them every day. There is still no consensus in the industry. However, the police have revised the general regulations on their own, saying frankly, "He believes that the police's move is to suppress freedom of speech and press.

[20:30] "Zhongxin" reporter Mr. Zhou said that the police officers heard "Zhongxin" followed by the reporter "Wait first", and some police officers asked "China News?" After recording the name of the media, they were released.

Mr. Zhou believes that the definition of the media by the police violates freedom of the press and freedom of interviews.

A Freelance reporter who was also intercepted for investigation said that Freelance reporters may be sold to different companies every day, and there is no fixed media agency to hire them. "We will bury them when they come." It is difficult to have a press card for a long time.

He also pointed out that some media companies do not have the time to issue press cards to Freelance reporters every day. He once used a one-day-expired press card but was questioned by the police. The journalists' association rules do not allow journalists to use an expired press card.

He was very dissatisfied with the police's move, believing it to suppress freedom of speech and press.

He confessed that he predicted that the day when the police "issued a license to reporters" would come, but "it's too fast."

He pointed out that there is still no consensus among the media, and the police themselves amended the general regulations, causing confusion in the industry.

[20:25] The Internet journalists who were intercepted for investigation were successively released, but they had to leave in the opposite direction of the altar.

[20:17] The police divided the reporters into two groups. A group of about 10 reporters were taken away from the altar, while the other group of reporters were restricted to interviews within the cordon near the altar.

[20:10] The police pulled orange cordon lines in front of and behind the reporters to surround all reporters, and asked all reporters to "line up" against the wall and wait for the press card to be checked.

[20:08] The police asked non-journalists to leave, otherwise they would be charged immediately.

[20:02] The police opened the loudspeaker and stated that they are required not to gather together, otherwise they will be charged for violation of the gathering restriction order.

The police also asked reporters to disperse and make way for pedestrians.

[19:33] One after another, citizens continued to offer flowers and candles, and there were riot police guards nearby.

[19:16] Someone chanted slogans in the Popcorn shopping mall in Tseung Kwan O. A large number of riot police officers entered and pulled up the orange cordon and intercepted Internet media reporters. After that, everyone was released.

[19:00] A large number of riot police officers patrolled outside the Tiu Keng Ling Design Institute, and the school security reminded reporters not to enter the campus.
