Two Years After Russia-Ukraine War Began, Group Holds Two-Minute Silence in Causeway Bay
俄烏戰爭兩周年 有團體到銅鑼灣默哀兩分鐘
On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine under the name of a “special military operation”. Today marks the second anniversary of the full-scale outbreak of the war, with the number of casualties still impossible to estimate. Members of the Facebook page “HK Anti-war Mobilization” held a two-minute silence outside SOGO department store in Causeway Bay this afternoon and read out an anti-war statement. They also called for Israel to immediately cease fire and withdraw from Gaza. During the event, two foreign nationals approached and argued, saying that Hamas was still holding more than 100 Israeli hostages. They eventually left after police officers advised them to do so.
2022年2月24日，俄羅斯以「特別軍事行動」為名入侵烏克蘭，今日是戰爭全面爆發兩周年，至今無法估計傷亡人數。Facebook 專頁「反戰動員 HK Anti-war Mobilization」一眾成員今午到銅鑼灣崇光百貨門外默哀兩分鐘，宣讀反戰聲明，他們亦同時要求以色列立即停火、從加沙撤軍。期間有兩名外籍市民上前爭論，指哈馬斯仍脅持逾百名以色列人質，最終在警員勸喻下離開。
