A new study on the behavior of Hong Kong’s police force during pro-democracy protests will be published by June, according to one of the foreign experts hired by the city’s police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints Council.
Clifford Stott, member of the Independent Expert Panel brought in to advise the watchdog, tweeted Sunday that he would be coming out with a report on or before June 9. The study would include data from the IPCC’s probe of officers’ actions, wrote Stott, a dean for research at Keele University in England.
