Shiu Ka-chun

Shiu Ka-chun (Chinese: 邵家臻; 3 June 1969 – 10 January 2025) was a Hong Kong social worker and activist, and a lecturer at Hong Kong Baptist University. He was one of leaders in the 2014 Hong Kong protests. In 2016, he was elected to the Legislative Council of Hong Kong through the Social Welfare functional constituency. Shiu resigned along with 14 other remaining pro-democracy legislators from the Legislative Council on 11 November 2020, after the central government had unseated four of pro-democracy legislators the same day.
