Richard Chan, who was pepper-sprayed, subdued, & arrested during a peaceful election rally in early Nov, has declared victory, part of the pan-democrats' apparent clean sweep of Tai Po district. Chan earlier told me he sees the elections as "a yellow & blue referendum"
Hong Kong Police arrested Richard Chan, a candidate in district elections in Tai Po, as they clean his eyes after local media says he was pepper-sprayed.
Chan was dubbed "airport uncle" after he stood between police and youngsters at an airport protest earlier this summer

I was in Central when one of the biggest protest in support of passing the HK democracy act pooled in hundreds of thousands of HK youth. It was an elevating moment. I hope to visit the city soon. Rise up, HK
