Hong Kong | 2026 10 Apr 2026  Hong Kong Veteran Democracy Fighter Koo Sze-yiu Passes Away at 80 Pro-democracy activist Koo Sze-yiu passed away Wednesday afternoon (8 April) at the age of 80. The Diaoyu Islands Protection Action Committee stated that Koo passed away peacefully at Caritas Hospital at approximately 1 pm, accompanied by his son. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. As a core member of the former League of Social Democrats (LSD), Koo had been fighting for democracy for decades, including carrying a coffin in protests and participating in protests against Japan for the Diaoyu Islands. Koo was in and out of prison a dozen times, with 16 criminal records, including for insulting the national and regional flags and attempting to incite unrest. His buzz cut, white beard, and coffin as a protest prop were the distinctive marks of this "anti-communist fighter." The 80-year-old publicly announced his diagnosis of colon cancer in 2020. During his illness, he continued his fight for democracy. In 2022 and 2023, he planned to protest by carrying a coffin, but was arrested by the National Security Police before he could even set off. This February, his condition worsened, and a group of fellow activists, including Bull Tsang, visited him in the hospital. Tai Kok Tsui .
