Hong Kong protesters hold vigil ahead of Sunday march

A vigil was held Saturday night for a Hong Kong woman who fell to her death this week, one of three apparent suicides linked to ongoing protests over fears that freedoms are being eroded in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory. A mostly youthful gathering placed lit candles and incense at temporary memorials in a square in central Hong Kong. Before falling from a shopping mall on June 30, the 29-year-old woman left a message on Facebook that wished for the protesters' success but said she could not carry on, Hong Kong media have reported.
