Protesters begin gathering at a park in central Hong Kong for another day of demonstrations that have generally started peacefully but often ended in violent clashes with police.
People holding umbrellas gather at Victoria Park to take part in an anti-extradition bill protest in Hong Kong, Sunday, Aug. 11, 2019. Protesters have begun gathering at the park in central Hong Kong for another day of demonstrations that have generally started peacefully but often ended in violent clashes with police.
A large crowd sat under umbrellas in a hot sun for a rally in Victoria Park in central Hong Kong. Across Victoria Harbour, another group took to the streets in a march in the Sham Shui Po district in Kowloon. Banners at the rally in Victoria Park read “Give Hong Kong back to us” and “Withdraw the evil law,” the latter a reference to an extradition bill that was the original spark for the protests.
