Overseas #Hongkongers Commemorate the Third Anniversary of #AntiExtradition Protests
On June 12, 2022, pro-democracy Hongkongers in Japan gathered to commemorate the three-year mark of the #AntiELAB protests that started in Hong Kong in June 2019. The day in 2019 marks the first police-civilian class near the Legislative Council building, as the authorities pushed forward the extradition to China policy.
In Shibuya, Tokyo in 2022, over a hundred people took part in the demonstration, waving flags and raising yellow umbrellas.
The participants also brought flowers to pay tribute to those who died during the protests. The "yellow raincoat man" who committed suicide on June 15, 2019 and university student #AlexChow who fell to his death during police operation were just some of them.
