Chinese Students Hold Posters and Flowers on HKU Campus;
Police arrived to record their personal information
According to the #UnderGrad, an official publication of #HKUSU, there were at least 2 #Chinese students holding leaflets and flowers at the university on 27 Nov to mourn the victims of the #Xinjiang #Urumqi fire. Police arrived after the university reported the incident; officers recorded personal information of the students involved before leaving.
A fire broke out in a residential building in Xinjiang Urumqi on the evening of 24 Nov. It is said that at least 20 people were killed, including many children. The youngest deceased was only aged 3.
On Chinese social media, many questioned whether the #lockdown measures obstructed the rescue. Some fire trucks were suspected to be unable to approach the fire. A few video clips also showed workers in white PPE appeared to be breaking down fences and barricades.
Since the accident, mourning activities sprang up in many cities across China. Institutions like #CommunicationUniversityofChina and #BeijingUniversity appeared to have opposition movements. #TsinghuaUniversity students gathered and raised a piece of white paper to protest. In #Shanghai, groups of people were even chanting slogan, "Let the people go".

Althea Suen: I never regret fighting for freedom, justice, and democracy
Former #HKUSU president, Althea Suen (#SuenHiuNam), pleaded guilty before trial. She admitted to being weak and powerless in her FaceBook post because she could not stand a predictably long sentence. She felt sorry and sad for not being able to show different perspectives of protesters in the 71 LegCo case, and she "cowardly accept libels and lies from the authority".
She said she will take care of herself in prison, "I never regret fighting for freedom, justice and democracy from the beginning. In 2023, I am in Hong Kong, trapped in prison, but my mind remains free".
