WATERLOO - A small group of University of Waterloo stu- dents held a memorial service Monday for those they say have died as a result of ongoing pro- tests in Hong Kong. "The fight is not our fight. The fight is everyone's fight," one of the event's organizers told partic- ipants and others listening to the service at the Student Life Cen- tre. "We will never forgive. We will never forget." Wearing surgical masks to hide their identities, organizers of the event declined to give their names. One young man said he is from Hong Kong, and feared for the safety of family and friends back home if authorities learned of his actions. "Nonetheless, we need to speak out. If we don't, no one will." Organizers said at least nine people tied to the Hong Kong movement have died by suicide since protests began in earnest in June. They said the deaths of an- other 144 activists have been ruled suicides by authorities, even though no notes were left be- hind. Protests were sparked by the introduction of a bill that would have allowed criminal suspects to be extradited on a case-by-case basis to jurisdictions that Hong Kong doesn't have extradition agreements with, including mainland China. Many in Hong Kong feared the move would give China more power to crack down on political dissent in Hong Kong. The bill was formally with- drawn last week, but protesters continue to cite demands includ- ing the resignation of Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam, the release of arrested protesters, and an inquiry into police con- duct and use of force. In Waterloo, the "last words" of some of those who have died were read aloud. "I feel that there is no tomorrow," said one. "I don't want to fight for tomorrow anymore." Participants clutched flowers as they held a moment of silence, and sang songs including "Do You Hear the People Sing" from Les Misérables, and new song "Glory to Hong Kong," both of which have been adopted by protesters. "The least we can do is to ho- nour them and to show our sup- port for those who are currently at the front line," an organizer said. Onlookers were urged to contact their MPs, asking politi- cians to pressure the Hong Kong and Chinese governments. "Hong Kong is my home," one young woman said following the service, adding the protests are a reality for people she cares about. "I can't let myself feel so comfort- able here." Another student - born in Can- ada but with Chinese roots - said she's always felt a connection to Hong Kong, given its multicultur- alism. "It felt like a place that was a mix of Asian and Western cul- tures combined," she said. "I felt it was important to come here to show support and raise aware- ness."
