A poem in memory of Mr Leung Ling-kit

Mr Leung Ling-kit, sacrificed himself on 15/06/2019 trying to stop the Extradition Bill get pass.

"They will never understand
We are impossible to 'restart'
Last year today
He went on his path
And never came back"

We will never forget you, two millions plus one.
Your silhouette sealed in our hearts.
We will keep fighting until glory to Hong Kong.

Three Years Since the Death of "Yellow Raincoat Man": Police Warn Mourning Citizens of "Littering" as they Offered Flowers

Today marks the third year since the death of Marco Leung Ling-kit, the "Yellow Raincoat Man", who fell to his death wearing a yellow raincoat that said "Carrie Lam killed Hong Kong, Cops were cold blooded." His death came a week after a 1-million-strong march did not #CarrieLam to withdraw the extradition bill, and another massive protest on the day of the vote was met by violent police crackdown.

Outside Pacific Place in Admiralty, the scene of Leung's death, citizens have erected a roadside memorial this afternoon. It was soon surrounded by dozens of white flowers, origami flowers, and other memorial art from citizens who came to pay tribute to the fallen man.

Police came and cleared away the memorial, and accused a man who laid down flowers for "littering", giving verbal warnings and taking down their identities. "I have the right to mourn," the man said, criticizing the police's actions, "I'm only exercising my due rights."

Ms. S and Mr. J took half a day off work today to attend the memorial and lay down flowers. J said that he had never forgotten Leung, and came to "tell everyone: hold on and continue in our conviction." He had been concerned that simply mourning in public might put him at risk of being arrested, but decided that he couldn't worry too much.

"I have to do what I intended to do," he said, "or else some memories will slowly fade away. I don't want to be ashamed of myself."

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.
