Serbian Pilot Who Welcomes Chinese Medical Workers Dies of #Covid19
It has been almost one year since Wuhan pneumonia broke out first in China and then across the world. #Serbia is one of those countries who have believed "China can help".
In March 2019, the country invited Chinese medical personnel to take part in their fight against the coronavirus. Back then, the pilot Svetislav Vranic who had flown the Chinese medical workers into Serbia waved the Chinese flag outside the aircraft.
However, Vranic died of coronavirus on the Christmas eve, December 24, 2020.

Jury Rules Death Cause of Pro-democracy student Alex Chow Undetermined
On Jan 9, 2021, the jury returned an open verdict in the death of 22-year-old university student #AlexChow Tsz-lok, following almost two days of deliberation.
The five-member jury, consisting of two men and three women, told the Coroner's Court that they were unable to determine the causes and circumstances of Chow's death.

"They took the case very seriously and have worked so hard. I want to tell Tsz-lok that we've tried our best to find out the truth, even though many questions remain unanswered and we are still some distance away from being able to get to the very bottom of what happened", he said, teary-eyed.

Hong Kong Pro-democracy Trade Unions Commemorate CCP-'Suicided' #LiWangYang for Fighting Against Totalitarian Power
Video: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/29988
On June 6, 2021, the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (#HKCTU), a pro-democracy labour rights group, held a memorial for Chinese dissident Li Wangyang (1950-2012) who passed away on the day 9 years ago in 2012.
After being jailed by the Chinese authorities for 21 years, Li who had become blind and nearly deaf by then was found dead in a hospital room. The #ChineseCommunistParty (#CCP) government initially claimed that Li had "committed suicide".
Li's sudden death -- which took place just a few days after he in an interview called for the vindication of the 1989 June 4th #TiananmenMassacre -- had stirred up outcry in Hong Kong and abroad. The real cause of his death remained in the shadow.
The HKCTU organized a commemorative event to pay tribute to Li's perseverance in fighting against the regime.
#ChowHangTung, vice chairperson of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China who was arrested by the Hong Kong police on the morning of June 4, 2021, joined the memorial on bail.
Chow said, "The regime does not win even by imprisoning us. As long as we manage to reinforce the movement during the process, we are not losing."
