Wu Chi-wai’s Mother’s Wake Held; Wu Taken to Funeral Parlour in Prison Van, View Obscured by Back Entrance, Wooden Boards and Umbrellas
胡志偉母親設靈 胡由囚車押送殯儀館 後門進出、木板及雨傘遮擋
Wu Chi-wai’s mother died peacefully at the end of February. A wake was held from Tuesday afternoon (the 26th) into the evening at Diamond Hill Funeral Parlour. Wu, who is remanded in custody in the case involving 47 people over the pro-democracy primary election, was taken to the funeral parlour in a Correctional Services Department prison van at 3 p.m. He left after staying for about 20 minutes. The prison van was parked at the funeral parlour’s back entrance, where several plain-clothes personnel were standing guard. Someone subsequently moved wooden boards to the front of the van, while others opened umbrellas to block the view. The van then drove away.
胡志偉母親今年 2 月底安詳離世，周二（26 日）下午至晚上在鑽石山殯儀館設靈。正因民主派初選 47 人案還押的胡志偉，下午 3 時由懲教囚車押送至殯儀館，逗留約 20 分鐘後離開。 囚車停泊於殯儀館後門，數名便衣人士在場戒備。其後有人將木板搬至囚車車頭，亦有人打開雨傘遮擋，囚車之後駛走。
