Mourners Gather In Admiralty On Death Anniversary

Hundreds of people gathered at the Pacific Place mall in Admiralty on Monday evening to mark one year since the death of an anti-extradition protester there.

Leung Ling-kit plunged to his death from a platform outside the mall, where he had been hanging a banner in opposition to attempts to change the extradition law.

Black-clad mourners wearing white ribbons started gathering at the upscale mall at around 6pm, chanting protest slogans now and again.

Outside, a large group of people waited patiently to lay down flowers by where Leung fell.

A student stuck a yellow raincoat like the one Leung had been wearing, onto an ad next a bus stop there.

One mourner told RTHK the crowds at Admiralty proved that people haven’t forgotten about Leung.
