HONG KONG - Hundreds of black-clad Hong Kong protesters, holding candles, returned on Sunday to the parking lot where a student fell to his death in November, vowing to continue their fight for greater democracy in the Chinese-ruled city.

Fears over the coronavirus have reduced the scale and frequency of protests this year, but there have been violent demonstrations on some weekends in a sign the pro-democracy movement remains active. One protester was waving a"Liberate Hong Kong" black flag, while a banner that read"murderer" was hung up."It's very touching. When I came here half an hour ago, I almost cried, because I didn't expect so many people would come today," said 22-year-old computer programmer Sean Chow, who is not related to the student who died.

Earlier on Sunday, Hong Kong police said they arrested 17 people, aged between 21 and 53, during an overnight raid of 22 flats in relation to a series of bomb plots between late January and early February.

Looking forward to the day of free Hong Kong, can reveal the truth of the event, find justice for them. May god bless🙏

Thank you. One thing to add. The movement since June isn't fighting for democracy only. Yet, it's fighting for human rights too when HK's in humanitarian crisis and becomes a police state and failed state. We only want to be free from fear. StandWithHongKong China_is_terrorist

Yet, the shrine of Student Alex was torn down by HKPolice a week ago! HKPolice don't want us to remember who caused Alex's death! We won't forget and forgive. We will keep going on the path of FightForFreedom and striving for the unfinished goal of Alex! HongKongProtests

Five demands not one less. This is Hker! StandWithHongKong StandwithHK

We haven't got the truth of his death yet while one thing we can confirm is the HongKong police refused to allow paramedics to provide first-aid for our comrade which directly caused to his death. However, the police brutality is getting more worse, they even torture elderly!

Hongkongers will never forget or forgive the evil police’s brutality!

HKprotesters HongKongProtest HKPoliceBrutality StandWithHongKong

Hong Kong people will always remember Alex Chow who died on the spot when police fired tear gas massively. Police are suspected to have caused his death & yet HK is now 1 country 1 system. Current regime empower the police to suppress us at all cost. Justice is dead PoliceState

Alex Chow was only 22. He was a young man with fruitful future . He is murdered by the Hong Kong police and government .We have to find out the truth !We will never forget and forgive. HongKongPoliceTerrorists

We HongKongers shall never forget, and never forgive. HKPoliceBrutality HKPoliceTerrorists HKPoliceState

We never forget our brother Alex. But HK Police don’t even allow us to mourn our loved one

Why is the public arrested for mourning a young man died in HongKongProtests? Why is police that hysterical when it comes to his memoirs? Isn’t it a proof that PoliceBrutality is involved in his death? StandWithHongKong AntiChinazi CCP_Is_Terrorist

Never forget. Murdering from Hong Kong Police. HongKongPoliceTerrorism

Yesterday night was peaceful, until riot police rushed to the scene. Many people were arrested for no reasons.

It still be fresh in our memories.

ching00123 FightForFreedom StandWithHongKong HongKongers still keep fighting!

no sh*t. at time like this? these ppl don't know what they are doing.

Never forget never forgive HKPoliceState HKPoliceTerrorism HKPoliceTerrorists PoliceTerrorism

We want the TRUTH of his death. We will keep asking until it is crystal clear.

What did the protestors do at the commemoration that the riot police felt the need to intervene n arrest ppl? It's a hugh mistake 2 let brainless, heartless n violent ppl make decisions.

HKers’ protests will go on as: -5Demands haven't been achieved -HKers’ rights & freedom are further eroded -PoliceBrutality is escalating, turning HK into a PoliceState -7.21 & 8.31 incidents & numerous suspicious death cases are not investigated NeverForget SOSHK

He remains 22 years old forever.. one day we will show you the liberated hongkong, and we simply wish for a smile from heaven as if you approved.. :’) wish the day is coming tomorrow.. FreeHK

HKers will never forget & never forgive HKPoliceTerrorists who murdered the kids. FiveDemandsNotOneLess is not just a slogan. It includes civilians' will to set up individual investigation on the totally corrupted HKPolice. Such HK Gestapo has to be disbanded & sanctioned.

It is hard to forget him because he might be murdered by HongKong police. Now, there aren't any evidence to prove the police didn't murder him. So I still concern about this incident, I want to know who is the murderer.

We have to find out the truth and sanction the murderers to let Alex rest in peace

Look at what hk police did tonight!! Aren’t they out of their mind !? StandWithHongKong HKPoliceBrutality

If Alex’s death is not because of HongKongPolice why the police keep stop citizens mourning Alex by mass stop and search and arbitrary arrests. Mourning our friend is none of your business. Are you having guilty conscience?! We will never forget and never forgive!

but it's really sad that mourning becomes a crime now in Hong Kong. many were stopped and searched by HKPolice and arrested. so if the govt or police dont like it, we cannot even mourn a deceased? it's a lie that HK hv freedom and autonomy

It's just a vigil to mourn for ChowTszLok's death, whose death remains a mystery, why the police would want to involve & disperse the crowd? Is vigil illegal? Or was his death the police's fault? Would they ever arrest people who mourn for their ancestors on Ching Ming festival?

Hk polices have no any reasons to kill people what they like StandwithHK

Hkers will never forget those who were died in this movement. HK is a failing state. What we need in HK is sanction of the officials immediately. They should not enjoy any rights in this world, because they deprived HKers the basic rights to live.

𝙋𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙃𝙆𝙋𝙁 — Here is the summary of HKpolice against human rights on 8 March.

HKPolice is even scared of the mourning event. Our fellow Mr. Chow, a protestor, died suspiciously by falling from a residential carpark when there was terror attack launched by Police in that area. HKPolice was suspected to throw him off! HKPolicestate HKPoliceterrorism

We are still waiting for ccp puppet HKGov to call for coroner investigation. However, she completely ignore this after 4 months and is backing up HKPolice to do everything to frighten all protestors. Therefore, we deman UniversalSuffrage. Please StandWithHongKong!

Summer_onFire We will NEVER forget these faces.

He will always be remembered Until we have a truth unearthed 5DemandsNot1Less HongKongProtests HKPoliceTerrorists HongKongPoliceTerrorists

We never forget. We never forgive.

the utterly large reaction of HKPF tonight speaks the truth, who they are afraid of

police-state in Hong Kong, the police could do anything without consequence, how can Hong Kong people fight for their freedom and democracy? / a police forcec standing behind the banner 'murderer'

Hong Kong have happening thousands of suicide cases from June of 2019 to present. The inconceivable thing was all cases are 'no suspicious' after investigation by Hong Kong Police. China_is_terrorist HongkongPoliceTerrorism HongKongPoliceState

We won't forget what they have done to us.

Analysis suggests he already lost consciousness (allegedly becos of Hong Kong Police) before falling from 3/f to 2/f (not necessarily a fatal height). Yet Hong Kong Police has not answered public’s concerns by priving they have not directly involved in Alex Chow’s death.

Never forget. It is definitely a murder committed by the police, there is no way for Chow to voluntarily jump across a wall as tall as a person. The injury showed no sign of reflexive protection for falling, which support the fact that Chow was being pushed off the wall by police

Now, we still cannot find the cause of the accident. However, it must be highly relevant to Hong Kong police. The boy is as same as other suicide case, police won’t do any investigation and any cctv cannot be found

Hong Kong cops used excessive force and mass arrest plus stop and search when Hong Kongers went mourn Mr Chow’s death. Why were the cops always react like this? Did the cops have any skeleton in the closet (like killing Mr Chow)?

And riot HongKongPolice even cannot accept Hong Kong civilians to mourn students' death. ExpressionNotOppression

Alex was only 21 when he lost he life, Ppl gathered and paid tribute to him. But, the Hong Kong police suddenly detained around 300-400 citizens and conducted a large scale stop and search. It seems memorialise the death peacefully becomes a crime in HK now. PoliceBrutality

Hong Kong people will not give up until we get the truth. The Government and its police force still have to respond.

We will never forget, and never forgive:)

However, the riot HongKongPolice abusively arrested many citizens in this flower-offering. The power of the riot police is already above the law. Hong Kong needs urgent help. SOSHK

We will never forget ALL those sacrificed themselves for Hong Kong's Freedom!🙏💛😭 SOSHK FightForFreedom HongKongProtests

At the same time, the Hong Kong police force stopped and searched the peaceful protestors.

HongKong was totally different since last year. We have no choice but keep on fighting.

Yet, HKPolice responded to the peaceful mourning with stop-and-search. Why?

Hong Kongers will never forget those who have sacrificed themselves in our struggle for freedom and democracy. RIP

5 mths, HKPolice still hadn't admitted their responsibilities in death of Tsz Lok - a passionate climber, prospective engineer & good son. He's born during HongKong's handover, and died when CCP destroyed the city. We won't forget the young man whose life's tied with HK.

no one deserves the 4 characters (murderer) more than the HKPolice does.

Never forget, Never forgive

Go study. Go work. Make Hongkong a better place just like what the last generation of hongkongese has been doing.

We are not forgetting, bc CCP and its puppet govt still refuse to address the core issue: unaccounted police brutality, and CCP’s menacing long arms encroaching on the freedom we’ve been promised

“He was falling with Hong Kong together on that night” RIP. We will never forget you and we will never forgive wht caused you to death. We will keep fighting for freedom and democracy! HongKongProtests PoliceState

Never forget!

While citizens did so peacefully, what the Hong Kong police did is to treat the participants as rioters.

The mourning ceremony is peaceful while HongKongPolice suddenly arrest large amount of participants. One more evidence to show that HongKong has become HKPoliceState. HongKongProtests StandWithHongKong

There are a lot more unreasonable death cases to be remembered. PoliceBrutality never stops.

We have so many murders, kidnap by HKPF

Hongkongers should never forget & forgive

We do not forget how Tsz-lok died. HongKongProtests

PoliceTerrorism has never stopped becoz of the coronavirus . Hong Kong Police terrorists arrested protesters in the middle of night and tortured arrestees with unreasonable forces. How can we stop?! We can only revenge and overthrow this corrupted gov! Fight on, HKers!

We must fight against PoliceTerrorism in HongKong.

HK police=murderers rapist and terrorsists HKPoliceTerrorism HKPoliceState

And we still can’t find the reasons why Chow fell and died in car park

Civillians joined the memorial event and everything was peaceful and legal. Yet the HongKong police trapped the crowd without proper reason. It’s a total PoliceState now in HK where peaceful memorial is not even allowed.

We never forget and forgive HKPoliceBrutality

Never forget

There are still a lot of questions about his death, and also other death cases in the past months, we will not forget them and forgive those so-called “Asia-finest” Hong Kong police. HongKongPoliceTerrorism hongkongpolicebrutality 5DemandsNot1Less

Police claimed the mourn as illegal assemble. Started to disperse and arrest participants.

Although the protesters who can go back home after the protests seem to be safe, it's not the truth. The policemen try to arrest the protesters without anyone witnessing afterwards. There are also some cases which the citizens were caught to the car secretly. HKPoliceTerrorists

HK ppl use their tear, blood & life to prove China is a brutal totalitarian reigme. Never forget. The world should wake and beware of China threats. Its devil long arm has reached every corner in the planet. Stop them now, or you will be next. StandWithHK

We will carry on. Please watch us. StandWithHongKong HongKong

A vid showing the queue to the altar - it's as long as those 'mask' queues. More proof that the people haven't given up

Hong Kong is a police state now!

Hong Kong people just will not be subdued by all sorts of repression and framing by the HK government and police. StandWithHongKong
