Messages to Deceased Protesters: We Dare Not Forget You, We Dare Not Giving Up

20:48 | Kwun Tong
Civilians wrote messages in remembrance of deceased protesters and victms of state violence, and to encourage each other in their fight for democracy.

These words shout and cry for protestors in Hong Kong. Chan Yin-Lam will truly rest in peace only when police are held accountable for what they've done. Hong Kongers should never forget and never forgive. We must stay strong and fearless in the face of totalitarianism!

一句句無聲的說話,就像帶著哭泣聲般沉重,若然警方的暴行未能受到制裁,相信陳同學也定不能安息,我們永遠不會原諒他們所犯下的種種人道罪行,香港人一定會堅強地、永不退縮地對抗暴政!
