Protesters gathered in Hong Kong to chant and memorialize the death of an undergraduate student who fell off a parking garage and died of his injuries. Protesters are blaming police for causing the student’s injuries and death.
A Hong Kong university student who is believed to have fallen off a parking garage near a protest over the weekend died of his injuries Friday morning, inflaming passions for renewed protests this weekend.
While there have been numerous suicides linked to the protests since June, if his injuries can be linked to police operations, Chow would be considered the first death as a direct result of clashes in five months of protests in Hong Kong.News of his death was delivered to Chow's fellow students during a HKUST graduation ceremony by university president Wei Shyy, who was visibly emotional.
Protesters have suggested online that Chow may have fallen while escaping tear gas fired by police, with some even accusing the police of pushing him off the ledge. Nevertheless, Chow's death has triggered tempers across the city as Hong Kong enters its 23rd straight weekend of protests.
