A student at a University of Hong Kong who fell after police used tear gas during clashes with anti-government protesters died on Friday, causing even more outrage from authorities in China’s semi-autonomous territory.
22 year-old Alex Chow is the first protester to die at the hands of police in the Hong Kong protests.
All of Hong Kong is in mourning today, and my heart goes out to them.
No one should have to die seeking freedom.

About a thousand masked demonstrators walked around the busy central area during the day, shouting “Unfold the police force,” “Hong Kong people, revenge,” and “Bloody debt must be paid with blood.”
Protesters demanded justice for Chow Z-Lok and threw insults at several policemen on the spot, calling them “killers.”
