毋忘·殤痛
這天由晚上8點開始,
我在這裡坐了整整的4小時,
看著對面馬路上停泊了9部警車,
眼前是點燃蠟燭放下的路人,
有的是上了年紀的老人,
有的是只得幾歲的小朋友。
每個月我都會來到這裡2次,
為的不是甚麼新聞價值,
為的不是甚麼衝突場面,
我是希望...希望他們能夠知道,
我們從沒有忘記過。
Remembrance of the Lost
On this day, starting from 8pm
I had been sitting here for 4 hours
I was looking at 9 police vehicles parked on the road
Facing me were passersby who put down burning candles
Some were old
And some were young, so young
Each month I would come here twice
Not for any exclusive news
Nor for any scene of conflict
I just wish... wish that they could know
That we never forgot them
And we never will

Summon the dead to identify protester's mother
(27 Jun) At the end of September last year, a naked corpse of a 15-year old female were awkwardly floating in the ocean. The Hong Kong police declared no foul play suspected and the body was cremated and left no remnants to investigate. The Hong Kong Coroner's Court recently did a pre-inquest review on the case.
The deceased was Chan Yin-lam, a competitive swimmer. Whether it was a "suicide" or if she "was suicided" remains an issue rife with suspicions and doubts. Someone's daughter had gone missing. Tsz-ming, one of the people in her search team, learned that the news of her death came out during the hustle and bustle. Overnight, he lost contact with both Chan's mother and her maternal uncle. The two family members vanished without a trace...
Chan had participated in anti-extradition law amendment bill (anti-ELAB) activities many times. A lovely young girl was inexplicably reduced to ash. Afterwards, many young people from the protests disappeared, some suspect they were extradited to mainland China, killed or suicided. They became trapeze artists (that shed no blood when landing) and floating corpses in the ocean. The atrocities of public security and evil cops were covered up and indulged, so will they simply remain unpunished? To appease the mob, TVB news director set out to interview Chan's mother; her blurred out face could not have been any faker. Later, some scoundrel of [Confucian] propriety, righteousness, integrity and politics* wrote an open letter "on behalf of" Chan's mother. It came with no photo, no signature and no authorisation; no one in Hong Kong believed it. For the entirety of the court date, police officers surrounded and escorted her... Netizens examined old photos of Chan's mother, suspected photos of the deceased and the more recent images from her [mother's] court appearance. They made comparisons of her [Chan's] brow ridges, the birthmark on her neck, the part in her hair and the puffiness in her eyes. This "grand charade" could not end even if it wanted to. So this place does not have 300 taels?+ Who knows what is true or false? Display ID? Compare names? DNA testing? Which department is trustworthy?
This is why the best way to seek redress is by summoning the dead in a public trial just like the Hello Kitty murder case++ when the courtroom's halogen lights kept flashing and the victim's half-cooked head aired her own grievances. Only if [Chan's] departed soul cries out "Mom!" in the courtroom will we believe it.
Editor's Note:
* 禮義廉政 is a play on words of the proper phrase, 禮義廉恥, meaning propriety, righteousness, integrity and honour. This article replaced honour (恥) with politics (政).
+ This place does not have 300 taels is a Chinese idiom akin to one of Aesop's Fables. It refers to someone who believes that they are clever, but their attempt to cover something up only makes the situation more obvious.
++ The Hello Kitty murder case refers to the kidnapping, torture and death of night club hostess in 1999. The convicts boiled her head to hide evidence of the crime.

Police Allegedly Let White-Clad Gang Insult Pro-dem Lawmakers
Two pro-democracy lawmakers Lam Cheuk-ting and Ted Hui Chi-fung, who were arrested by the police for involving in the pro-democracy protests, were mentioned in the West Kowloon Magistrates on the afternoon of August 27, 2020.
Police turned Lam, a victim of the white-clad gangster attack on July 21, July, from plaintiff to defendant.
Outside of the court, a gang of white-clad people were present. One of them held up his middle finger to interrupt and insult the colleages of Lam and Hui from the Democratic Party who were speaking at the time.
Among the white-clad crowd, some of them had the Chinese flag on their clothes. The white-clad stood right behind the plainclothes and uniformed police. After they kept yelling, the police persuaded them to leave.
In contrast, on August 25, 2020, police arrested 2 citizens for "causing disorder" outside of the West Kowloon Magistrates. The 17-year-old student and the 65-year-old woman arrested were detained by the police overnight. The police also put at least 7 people on the wanted list, accusing them of swearing and gesturing profanity outside of the same court on the previous day.
Since August 24, the West Kowloon Magistrates has been conducting a coroner's inquiry of the death of 15-year-old Chan Yin-lam, who had participated in the pro-democracy protests and was found dead naked in the waters in October 2019. The public cast doubt and concern over the case which the police called it a "suicide" that was "not suspicious". Further skepticism was raised, after the pro-Beijing TV channel TVB broadcast an 'exclusive' interview during primetime with a woman with her face and voice blurred who claimed to be Chan's mother.
In the court, Chan's mother and materal grandfather insisted that Chan was psychologically disturbed. A medical doctor testified that Chan's mother had refused treatment for Chan.

Jury Unanimously Rules Death of 15-year-old Pro-democracy Girl as "Suspicious"; Cause of Death Remains Unknown
The 11-day coroner's inquiry of 15-year-old Chan Yin-lam ended on Sept 11, 2020 in Hong Kong. Chan's naked body was found in the waters in September 2019. Since the police could not justify their change of the case's classification from "suspicious" to "unsuspicious", the public have cast doubt over the police handling of the case and speculated the cause of Chan's death.
On the last day of the death inquest, the presiding coroner David Ko instructed the jury to rule Chan's death over 2 directions: an "accident" or "open verdict". Ko has earlier ruled out “unlawful killing” and “suicide” as the possible cause of death.
After five hours of deliberation, the jury reached for a unanimous open verdict. Many questions remained unsolved. These include whether Chan had taken a taxi to the waterfront, and whether Chan had schizophrenic symptoms on Sept 19, 2020, the day she went missing. The jury believed that Chan had no clothes on when entering the waters.
Chan's mother Ho Pui-yee had given up the right to present on behalf of her daughter, stating to a TVB reporter that she only hoped for the incident to subside, that she would not comment on the issue regardless of the verdict.

Citizens mourn Pro-democracy Student Who Died Last Year under the Suspicion of Police Brutality
September 22, 2020 marks a year since the death of 15-year-old student Chan Yin-Lam. Her body was found floating naked in the waters, but the police changed the case classification of Chan's death from “suspicious” to “unsuspicious", which brought about questions and doubts over the handling of the case, and even speculation of the police's involvement in Chan's death.
At around 8pm on Sept 22, 2020, citizens arrived at the Hong Kong Design Institute, the school which Chan attended, to commemorate her death.
Flowers were presented and candles were lit. Some people were seen quietly shedding tears amidst the pain and sorrow.
Armed police officers on site, demanding citizens and reporters to disperse immediately.

Conspiracy theories rage after teen's naked body found floating in ocean
On the morning of September 22, 2019, a naked body was found floating in the sea. The deceased was identified to be Chan Yin-lam, a 15-year-old who was very vocal and supportive towards the protests that were going on in Hong Kong. Autopsy revealed that she had been dead for more than 48 hours.
The discovery sparked a maelstrom of media coverage and conspiracy theories. While police swiftly classified the case as a suicide, some in the protest movement claimed there were signs of foul play -- and even accused authorities of being involved in a cover-up.
In the almost 12 months since she died, the controversy has not waned. Many Hong Kongers are still inclined to the belief that the truths related to Chan's death are being hidden from them.

14 months after the Discovery of the Body of 15-year-old Chan Yin-Lam: Police Eradicate Altar Built by Hongkongers
20:21 | Tseung Kwan O
On 22 September 2019, the 15-year-old pro-democracy protester, #ChanYinLam was found naked floating in the sea near Yau Tong, where her school is located. The Hong Kong Police claimed that nothing is suspicious.
While many believed that Chan’s death could be connected to her participation in the pro-democracy Anti-ELAB Movement, the police asserted that no foul play was suspected, and that Chan had killed herself.
The coroner's inquest concluded with the jury unanimously returning an open verdict, as the cause of death could not be determined, after Magistrate Ko Wai-hung ruled out both homicide and suicide as possible causes due to insufficient evidence.
For 14 months, civilians carried on their monthly ritual in remembrance of Chan.
On Nov 22, 2020, the police not only removed the altar built by civilians; but also erected a warning banner ordering citizens paying their tribute to all casaultes in pro-democracy movement to leave.
Heavy police presence since the afternoon created an awkwardly oppressive atmosphere at the scene, forcing pro-democracy supporters to leave without laying down the flowers they brought.
In the late evening, social worker Hendick Lui Chi-hang and a woman were being stopped by the police and searched when they attempted to walk closer.

Truth & Justice will Prevail - Hongkongers vow to seek truth in young pro-democracy student's death
#ChanYinLam, a 15-year-old student in Hong Kong, was found dead on 22 September 2019 off the coast from Tseung Kwan O. Given that her body was found naked, and she was an agile swimmer and diver according to various news reports, her death triggered a lot of speculation, pointing at possible police brutality.
A year and 5 months later, on February 22, 2021, pro-democracy supporters continued their monthly ritual of paying tribute to Chan and other victims of police brutality during the anti-ELAB movement.
Over ten lightboxes were lit in the school campus of Hong Kong Design Institute where Chan was last seen, with candle lights, paper cranes and white flowers.
Chan’s supporters called on Hongkongers to fight on and never cease seeking the truth of Chan’s death.

Chan’s supporters called on Hongkongers to fight on and never cease seeking the truth of Chan’s death.

HongKongers continue quest for truth on 2-year anniversary of pro-democracy student's death
On September 22, 2019, 15-year-old student #ChanYinLam, a supporter of Hong Kong's anti-extradition bill protests, passed away.
Chan's body was found naked and floating in the sea near Tseung Kwan O. However, Hong Kong police quickly declared her death to be unsuspicous, before conducting much investigation.
In the two years since, the police had been making every effort to stop citizens from gathering in remembrance of Chan, citing COVID-19 gathering restrictions and social order.
Resisting to forget, citizens continue to place memorials in Tseung Kwan O on September 22, 2021, with light boxes of Chan's portrait and white electric candles. The memorial not pays tribute to Chan, but symbolizes the continued quest for the truth behind her death.
Her death in 2019 had sparked immediate and intense public discussion, with some suspecting that the Hong Kong Police might be involved. The police's repeated denials without a thorough investigation only reinforced public suspicions.
Following an 11-day inquest at the Coroner's Court in 2020, the jury returned an open verdict in Chan's death. The five-member jury of three women and two men unanimously concluded that they were unable to determine the causes and circumstances of Chan's death.

3 Years of #August31Incident, HKers in Britain not to Give Up
HKers gathered at no less than 12 British cities for the three years of the August 31 incident. Participants condemned the Hong Kong police for helping the regime to suppress citizens. They continue to ask for the truth and request the authority and the MTR company to make the CCTV recording public.
Around a thousand participants mourned the incident in front of Parliament Square in London. The host read out the names who gave their lives to the #AntiELAB movement. Names include Leung Ling Kit, the first to jump off from Pacific Place after hanging the slogan next to the building, Leung Kin-Fai, who stabbed a police officer on #Jul01 last year, Chan Yin-lam and Chow Chi-Lok, who still have an unknown cause of death up til now.
On the night of Aug 31, 2019, a group of protesters had arguments with the passengers who opposed the protests inside Prince Edward Station. Many riot police and Special Tactical Squad members then rushed into the station and had an indiscriminate attack on citizens with batons, guns and pepper spray both on the platform and in the train.
The police force even locked the station for more than 30 hours afterwards, obstructing journalists' interviews and rescue work. No one can understand the factual situation inside the station, nor can hold Hong Kong police accountable for using excessive force.
