#NeverForget #2Years
Lest We Forget: The Tearful Day Outside the #LegCo Building
June 12, 2021 marks the two year-mark of the first large-scale police-civilian clash in the #AntiELAB movement in Hong Kong.
Two years ago, pro-democracy Hongkongers surrounded the Legislative Council building, with a hope to prevent the second reading of the amendment bill that proposed extradition to China.
Despite the peaceful rally, the police deployed #TearGas grenades and shot #RubberBullets at unarmed civilians, causing countless injuries in the crowd.
Whereas the police was condemned on an international level for their abuse of power and use of violence, the authorities in Hong Kong insisted in categorizing the pro-democracy rally in the Admiralty area as a "riot".
The government's reaction infuriated many citizens, causing over 2 million people to take part in Hong Kong's largest protest in history on June 16, 2019.

Despite the rain, supporting citizens welcomed Chow and chanted "Add Oil" to her, as she was ushered by her friends and other pro-democracy activists to a private vehicle in white.
Her fellow activists #JoshuaWong and #IvanLam, also former members of the now-disbanded #Demosisto, were also convicted in the same case but with a longer sentence. They are still in prison at the moment.
