Human Rights Day Rally - Hong Kong

Over 800,000 citizens took part in one of the largest mass rallies of Hong Kong’s six-month-long pro-democracy movement on 8 December, in a show of continued defiance against Chinese rule, and to echo the Human Rights Day today. The anti-government movement was initially sparked by a now-withdrawn bill that would have allowed extraditions to the mainland, but it has now spiraled into a wider set of five demands that include universal suffrage and independent inquiry into police action.
