2049 | Central
8 years ago, a ferry and a ship collide near Lamma Island, causing 39 deaths and over 90 injuries. Yet, the reason of collision has yet been investigated. Today, citizens set up an alter at the Central Ferry Pier No.4 to commemorate the incident.

At around 20:49, 10 riot police cordoned the alter with an orange band and interrupted the memorial ceremony.

Also, police provoked people on spot, mocking them for exploiting the incident, and the offerings were rubbish. However, citizens have held the memorial event for 8 years, and that was the first time they receive such brutal treatment from police.

Sources stated that police charged citizens on spot after the ceremony.

HK Police Order Bereaved Families Mourning the Lamma Ferry Collision Victims for the 8th Year to "Stop Acting"

On September 30, 2020, an open letter was issued by the families of the victims of the Lamma ferry collision, which took place on October 1, 2012.

The letter asks the Hong Kong authorities to reveal the truth behind the tragic collision that claimed 39 lives and do justice as had been promised.

It is revealed that after 8 years, the police investigation remains unfinished. Owing to the incomplete police report, death certificates cannot be issued to the victims. Without any concrete answer, the authorities forced their families to “let go and move on”.

8 years since their family members had passed away, the bereaved familes are still waiting for the truth they rightly deserved to be revealed.

In the latest open letter, the families demanded a thorough investigation of the cause of the collision, a full disclosure of the report and the conviction of the marine officers involved.

Every year, friends and families of the victims mourned at the Central Ferry Pier, where the fatal ferry had never arrived, bringing with them flowers and paper offerings.

For the first time after 8 years, on Oct 1, 2020, police interrupted the mournin and ordered the saddened families to “stop acting” and disperse.

Police officers even removed right away the families’ offerings to the deceased, causing an elderly burst into tears and faint on the scene.

Regardless, the police continued their action and fined the bereaved families for breaching the gathering ban.
