on 3 february, a small group led by leung kwok-hung protested the abuse of power by the police. one week later, there was a larger protest demonstrated against alleged "discriminatory" law enforcement against internet users. the involvement of local celebrities led to complaints that the wave of arrests were indicative of a legal double standard: protesters claimed that the police failed to investigate other cases of nude photos being published without their subject's permission. approximately 300 people marched on police headquarters in wan chai. they petitioned the police to apologise publicly, to release chung yik-tin, to stop "an abuse of power", and also demanded the resignation of commissioner tang. in the wake of the scandal, citizens also became more concerned about the integrity of the law. and that some were clearly more equal than others in hong kong.
