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."

HK Security Secretary Connects Sympathy to Participation; LIHKG to be probed
In a meeting in Hong Kong's Legislative Council that is dominated by pro-Beijing lawmakers on July 6, 2021, Secretary for Security #ChrisTang referred the 2019 pro-democracy movement to "color revolution" that aimed at subverting the regime. The former police commissioner also urged citizens to condemn and report.
Tang said, "We will make not only the terrorists, but also the supporters and those who attempt to tone it down, live like rats."
On July 1, 2021, a 50-year-old Hong Kong man called #LeungKinFai died after knifing a police officer and stabbing himself reportedly on the chest. In following days, many Hongkongers mourned the man and brought flowers to the site.
The authorities claimed that mourning as well as posting comments about the man's death could breach the #NationalSecurityLaw.
Law professor #JohannesChan at the University of Hong Kong (#HKU) disagreed and pointed out that mourning the deceased out of sympathy is not a criminal act. Chan criticized that the "red line" drawn by the government is "way too unreasonable".
Secretary for Security Chris Tang, however, insisted that sympathy is a form of support and support is a form of participation.
Tang said, "depending on individual cases, we will see whether we have evidence to make arrests and take our prosecutions."
With reference to Prof Chan, Tang said, "I hope this legal scholar can sleep at night. because you might have painted Hong Kong in blood."
In addition, Tang said that the next target is the Internet Forum #LIHKG because it is "filled with illegal information". Tang claimed that authorities will make arrests and force the websites and the users to remove their messages.

On June 15, 2019, #MarcoLeung fell to his death from a shopping mall, #PacificPlace, a week after a one million-strong demonstration failed to convince the city's leadership to withdraw the extradition bill.
Leung was wearing a yellow raincoat that wrote "Carrie Lam killed Hong Kong, Cops were cold blooded."
Leung was the first pro-democracy Hongkonger to die in the anti-extradition law amendment bill movement in 2019.
After Leung's death, his yellow raincoat became a symbol of resistance in the fight for freedom.

Two years seven months since passing of pro-democracy martyr Marco Leung Ling-kit
On June 15, 2019, #MarcoLeung fell to his death from a shopping mall, #PacificPlace, a week after a one million-strong demonstration failed to convince the city's leadership to withdraw the extradition bill.
Leung was wearing a yellow raincoat that wrote "Carrie Lam killed Hong Kong, Cops were cold blooded."
Leung was the first pro-democracy Hongkonger to die in the anti-extradition law amendment bill movement in 2019.
After Leung's death, his yellow raincoat became a symbol of resistance in the fight for freedom.

#CarrieLam claims "no man-made error" in #Omicron outbreak, resulting in over 7,000 deaths in Hong Kong
The #COVID19 death toll surpasses 7,000 in Hong Kong during the 5th wave of the outbreak. The Chief Executive, Carrie Lam, refused to carry out a comprehensive review, saying that she and her administration should not be distracted to deal with a large-scale investigation.
During the COVID-19 briefing on March 27, 2022, Lam was asked who would be held accountable for the loss of lives and whether she would admit there were mistakes in her Covid approach and apologize to affected families.
Without addressing the questions directly, Lam denied that these were man-made mistakes. Lam insisted, “In a public health crisis, it is impossible to completely avoid these sorts of factors”.
