Government response to graveyard vandalism
******************************************

    In response to press enquiries about the criminal damage to gravestones at Gallant Garden, Wo Hop Shek Cemetery, which was discovered today (August 12), a Government spokesman said:

     "The Government condemns such a senseless and wanton act of vandalism which has added to the loss felt by the families concerned and has hurt the feelings of the people of Hong Kong. Various Government departments are now co-ordinating closely with an aim to help the families.

     Those who lie in Gallant Garden lost their lives when serving the people of Hong Kong. This act of vandalism shows gross disrespect for the law and the ones who died.

     The case is now under Police investigation."
