Since the morning of July 2, 2021, police has been stopping citizens from commemorating the man who died yesterday by reportedly stabbing himself after knifing a policeman.
At 3pm, Mr Wu was intercepted by the police while laying down flowers. Mr Wu said to the policeman, "do you want me to pay HKD1,500 [the penalty of violating the gathering ban]? It's fine with me!"
The police warned Mr Wu of committing "misconduct in public space" or "inciting the onlookers" and that Mr Wu would be fined for "littering".
Mr Wu insisted it was his right to pay tribute to the dead. The police then asked for his relationship with the man.
Mr Wu said, "Being fined is not an issue. Paying tribute is all I want to do."

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.

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”.
