Hong Kong protesters stage peaceful rally, 1 week after violent break-ins

Organizers claim more than 230,000, much more than had expected, rallied in the afternoon march in the Kowloon area, where most mainland Chinese tourists arrive and shop.

Whatever the crowd size, many of the protesters wore black T-shirts and were holding up signs and boards that read “Rise up, Hong Kong,” “No Extradition Bill” and “No rioters, Only despotic rule.”The extradition bill is currently suspended after weeks of protests, but people were calling for a complete withdrawal of the hated legislation, which would allow transfer of fugitives to the mainland and other jurisdictions with which Hong Kong has no extradition deal.

Hong Kong has been besieged by protests for the past month, sparked by the extradition bill and general dissatisfaction with local politicians. March organizer Ventus Lau said the purpose of Sunday's protest was twofold: to reiterate the protesters' demands to the government and to give mainland visitors a firsthand look at their movement.

Why don't you show the AntifaTerrorists ? This is going on in your own country and you don't report it. You are not a news outlet for ALL the people! Only if it fits your socialist agenda do you report it. You need to wake up!

They are no longer peaceful protesters, they are thugs now.

So when will the American people take to the streets to fight the Nazis.RESIST THE MADNESS!!!

Huge crowds of anti-justice league protesters took to the streets in Hong Kong again on Sunday, in a first major action following a violent break-in into Hong Kong’s legislative council last week.
