About this person

On the eve of the "Condemn the Repression, Withdraw the Evil Law" (譴責鎮壓,撤回惡法) protest march held on June 16, 2019, Leung hung banners at a high position in Admiralty’s Pacific Place, demanding the complete withdrawal of the extradition bill amendment rather than a postponement, the release of those arrested during the June 12 police-civilian clashes, and the resignation of Chief Executive Carrie Lam as an act of accountability. He later fell from a height and died that evening, becoming the first casualty of the anti-extradition bill movement. Chief Executive Carrie Lam and the police indicated, either explicitly or implicitly, that Leung died by suicide. However, Leung’s father stated that he faced indifference from the police for a year following his son's death. His lawyer sent multiple letters to the police requesting the submission of the coroner's report but to no avail, raising suspicions of unfair treatment towards his son.
