Occupy Hong Kong (Oct. 3): Clashes in Causeway Bay and Mong Kok
October 3rd was the most volatile day of Occupy Central since Sunday's tear gassing. Anti-occupiers showed up at the main demonstration sites, sparking numerous brawls between them and the pro-democracy protestors. We saw several people hurt during altercations. Several journalists were also attacked during brawls – including our cameraman, who was punched in the face by an anti-occupy protestor who did not want to be filmed.

Hong Kong's Missing Booksellers | 101 East
Since October last year, five men linked to a Hong Kong bookstore have disappeared one after another.
China-born Swedish national Gui Minhai was allegedly taken from Thailand. Lui Por, Cheung Chi Ping and Lam Wing Kee disappeared in mainland China, and British citizen Lee Bo was last seen at his Hong Kong warehouse.
The bookstore in question deals in publications critical of Chinese leaders, and before his disappearance, Gui was apparently preparing to publish a new book. Could this be the reason why he went missing?
All five men have since resurfaced in mainland China. But how did they get there? Outraged Hong Kongers and the international community are demanding answers.

STORYLINE:
About a dozen of Hong Kong residents staged a protest on Sunday demanding China explain the recent disappearances of five people associated with a publishing company that specializes in titles critical of mainland China's leadership.
Chanting slogans in defence of freedom of publication and holding banners with the photos of the missing, the protesters marched toward Beijing's representative office in Hong Kong.
Five people associated with Hong Kong publisher Mighty Current and its Causeway Bay Bookstore have vanished in recent months.
The latest and most startling case came last week, when the publisher's chief editor, Lee Bo, failed to return home after paying a visit to a book storage warehouse.
Four other people linked to the company went missing in October, but they were last seen either in mainland China or Thailand.
Mighty Current specializes in sensationalistic books about Chinese political scandals and other sensitive issues that mainland publishers are forbidden from covering.

Tourist missing in Hong Kong: help find Ani Ashekian 1/7
On November 9, 2008, Ani Ashekian left Xian, China on a Dragon Airlines flight to Hong Kong.
On November 10, Ani Ashekian was seen in Chungking Mansions in Tsim Sha Tsui and also Causeway Bay.
And then on November 11, Ani Ashekian disappeared without a trace.
Tourists in Hong Kong simply don't vanish. Last year, more than 29 million visitors passed through Hong Kong's borders and this native to Canada was one of them.
But according to the Immigration Department, there is no record of Ani ever having left Hong Kong.
There have been no e-mails or phone calls to friends and family. There has been no activity on her bank accounts. There is no electronic or print paper trail. The pervasive digital traces we all generate in today's information driven society there are none for Ani Ashekian.
Eight months have passed since anyone has last seen or heard from her. It's a mystery with many questions and few clues, and it's a mystery that has left family members and loved ones longing for information.
How could a tourist simply disappear in Hong Kong one of the safest cities in the world?
【4K】Walk at Wan Chai & Causeway Bay, Hong Kong | Lockhart Road, Times Square, Hysan Place
Waling at Wan Chai & Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
Wan Chai
Made internationally famous by the 1960 film The World of Suzie Wong, historic Wan Chai is not just Hong Kong’s party district; by day it’s a pleasant neighbourhood for wandering and shopping.
Dotted along Queen's Road East are a number of excellent rattan and Chinese furniture shops that will happily arrange to have your purchases sent home for you or, for competitively priced clothing, try Spring Garden Lane where stalls offload garments originally earmarked for export. Techies won’t complain about getting lost in the Wanchai Computer Centre on Hennessy Road; a building jam-packed with hardware, software, accessories and other gadgets. And both kids and ‘kidults’ might want to check out Tai Yuen Street; an entire strip of toys touting everything from the latest to the classics.
Causeway Bay
If shopping were a sport, Causeway Bay would be the home of the Olympic Games. This is where consumerism is out and proud, and every available square inch is seemingly devoted to worshipping at the altar of retail. Even though a relatively compact area, it would still take at least an entire day to work your way through its endless shopping malls, department stores, boutiques and market stalls.
Causeway Bay is a true microcosm of Hong Kong’s shopping scene, with up-market fashion to be found in Lee Gardens One & Two, Hysan Place, Lee Theatre, Times Square and Fashion Walk, mid-price and luxury goods in SOGO Department Store and wtc more, affordable youth fashion boutiques in the warren of shops that make up the Island Beverly Centre, and bargains galore at the chaotic Jardine’s Crescent street market. And, among all these, are yet even more shops specialising in everything from shoes to electronics, computers, skin care, snacks, home accessories and more — overwhelming doesn’t begin to describe it!

China comment on revelations by HKong bookseller
(17 Jun 2016) A Hong Kong bookseller who has spoken out about his months-long detention on the mainland violated Chinese laws and thus gave authorities the right to deal with it in accordance with the law, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said on Friday.
Lam Wing-Kee's revelations to the media on Thursday - made in defiance of Chinese authorities - were the first detailed account of what happened to five booksellers whose disappearances sparked international concern.
His testimony directly contradicted official accounts of what happened to the men, who worked for a publisher of gossipy books on China's Communist leadership that are banned on the mainland.
Speaking at a regular news briefing in Beijing, spokeswoman Hua Chunying also defended the country's one country, two systems policy that governs Beijing's relationship with Hong Kong, under which the former British colony retains civil liberties such as freedom of speech unseen in mainland China.
The saga of the missing booksellers underscores growing fears that Beijing is tightening its grip on Hong Kong and undermining its considerable autonomy.

Obviously their (booksellers) enforced disappearance and detention was due to the publication of a series of politically sensitive books, some of which are now placed here.

STORYLINE:
Hong Kong pro-democracy lawmakers said on Sunday that they will press the government for answers after a fifth employee of a publisher specialising in books critical of mainland China's leadership went missing.
Lawmaker Albert Ho said the city was shocked and appalled by the disappearance of Lee Bo.
Like the four others who disappeared in recent months, Lee is associated with publisher Mighty Current.
While there's been no official confirmation on the status of the five missing people, Ho told reporters that it appears their disappearances are linked to the company's books.
Mighty Current and its Causeway Bay Bookstore are known for gossipy titles about Chinese political scandals and other sensitive issues that are popular with visiting tourists from the mainland.
The company's co-owner, Gui Minhai, is among those missing, as are three staff members.

This case is really puzzling, and you know regardless the facts, regardless whether this incident is true, it still seems like a way to divert attention from the huge amount of controversy and criticism that's taken place about these potential abductions and instead focus it on this one incident from the past.

10. SOUNDBITE (English) William Nee, China researcher, Amnesty International:
I mean the video in some ways does seem tragic because it does appear a woman died due to a drunk driving incident. But on the other hand, we don't know whether Gui Minhai made this video under duress, and you know in the video he says he doesn't want any attention from the international community, he doesn't want, he said he feels Chinese and therefore Sweden shouldn't follow up on this case. So there is questions like that really seem kind of suspicious because we don't know the circumstance of the case.

STORYLINE:
A human rights group is concerned the videotaped confession in which a missing Hong Kong bookseller saying he voluntarily surrendered months ago to Chinese mainland authorities could have been made under duress.
Gui Minhai is one of five missing people who are associated with the publisher Mighty Current, which specialises in gossipy books on political scandals involving China's Communist leaders and other sensitive topics that are banned in the mainland.
On Sunday, Gui said while in detention that he willingly surrendered in October because he felt guilty about killing a woman while driving drunk in 2003, according to China's state media CCTV.
The report did not say if he was facing trial nor did it address the other disappearances.
It seems like a way to divert attention from the huge amount of controversy and criticism that's taken place about this potential abductions and instead focus it on this one incident in the past, said
William Nee, China researcher of Amnesty International, said that the alleged confession seemed to be a way to divert attention from the controversy surrounding the potential abductions.
Their disappearances have raised concerns Beijing is eroding the one country, two systems principle that has preserved freedom of the press and other rights in Hong Kong since China gained control of the city from Britain in 1997.
He is a naturalised Swedish citizen.
