District Councilor: Police Obstruct Memorial in Tin Shui Wai, Citing Social Distancing Rule as Excuse

On the one year anniversary of Marco Leung Ling-kit's death, crowds gathered also in Tuen Mun and Tin Shui Wai, where District Councilors initiated memorials for his sacrifice to defend democracy for Hong Kong. Riot police were sighted at both locations.

In Tin Shui Wai, the gathering was initiated at Ginza Plaza. Dozens of police officers patrolled nearby locations from time to time and were seen negotiating with District Councilor Lam Chun to try and stop citizens from gathering.

Lam told reporters that police officers on the scene were purposefully obstructing the gathering, citing “social gathering restrictions” as excuses.

“Article 599G is nothing but an excuse to oppress the pro-democracy movement. Even when Ocean Park is reopening, the police is using this rule to try and stop us from organizing a simple remembrance gathering.” Lam said.

Never Forget 6/15

黑夜盡處有著黎明,
每一個香港人走過日子,
每一步也盡是刻骨銘心,
不知道燈火的終點在哪,
但我們都會一起走下去,
前行有你,
背後有我。

The dawn always arrives at the end of the darkest night.
For each day HongKongers have gone through,
Each step is unforgettable.

Without knowing where the light ends,
We’ll still walk alongside in solidarity.

When you walk on ahead,
I follow closely behind.

15th June 2020

有些不值遺忘的事總會被人遺忘
有些希望能遺忘的事總難以遺忘
香港人並不善忘
他們只不想回望
或受現實所迫
忽視了身邊的美好

Sometimes, things worth remembering are forgotten.
Sometimes, things that we wish to forget stay in our minds forever.
Hongkongers are not forgetful.
They just wish not to remember,
Or might have missed something along the way.
When they are going through the routine of their busy lives.

Editor's Note: Every one of the 36 white flowers in the background were taken individually by our reporter. Each white flower shows our undying remembrance and our sheer determination to fight on and tide through this difficult time.
