Dozens stage bra protest in HK over ‘breast assault’

[yuiyoshida]

Dozens of people including men wearing bras yesterday staged a protest in Hong Kong after a woman was sentenced to three-and-a-half months in prison for “assaulting” a police officer with her breast.

About 100 people gathered for the lighthearted “breast walk” protest outside police headquarters in the Wan Chai District, with some holding up bras and others wearing them over their tops.

“We better watch out as one day police might accuse us of attacking with our penis or buttock,” a topless male activist wearing a black bra told the crowd.

Retired teacher and spokesman for the Hong Kong Professional Teachers’ Union James Hon , 66, wearing a pink bra over his white polo shirt, told reporters: “It’s the first time to wear a bra in my entire life.”

Ng Lai-ying had previously told the court that she yelled “indecent assault” out of fear immediately after Chan’s hand landed on her left breast when he failed to grab the strap of her bag, the South China Morning Post reported.

However, Magistrate Michael Chan Pik-kiu (陳碧橋 said she “used her female identity to trump up the allegation that the officer had molested” her, calling that a malicious act and harming the officer’s reputation, the Post reported.
