#Hongkongers in #UK Initiate #Flashmob Activity to Raise Awareness of HK Situation
In response to the forced shutdown of #AppleDaily on June 24, 2021, an UK-based Hongkongers' association initiated a flash-mob activity in the Waterloo train station on July 4, 2021.
Around 30 people displayed and read a DIY edition of the Apple Daily newspaper. The edition was also distributed on the street afterwards, with a goal to draw public attention to Hong Kong's deteriorating education.
Among the participants, there was a 12-year-old boy who has been injured but insisted on helping, despite the need of his walking sticks.
The boy arrived in London from Hong Kong with her mother in February. He said, "there is no more freedom in Hong Kong". He wished to support the pro-democracy newspaper.

“Never Kneel Before the Military Boots”: A #Flashmob Protest in
#Myanmar Commemorating Deceased Student Movement Leader
Myanmar has experienced a coup for five months. A flash protest occurred around Yangon on 26 June, 2021 to oppose the military’s seizure of power.
It was a Saturday when some civilians participated in the flashmob protest, flashing torches and holding signboards. Some of them raised three fingers, and then left very quickly.
That was also the 45th year of the death of Salai Tin Maung Oo, a student movement's leader who was hanged on 26 June 1976 when he was in jail.
In 2021, protesters held the sign “I’ll never kneel before your military boots”, which was the last words of Salai Tin Maung Oo. It also indicated that they would not yield to the military government.
