Mid-Autumn Festival lantern protests to light up Hong Kong

HONG KONG - Hong Kong activists will combine anti-government protests with lantern celebrations marking the Mid-Autumn Festival this weekend after a brief lull in sometimes violent demonstrations which have rocked the Chinese-ruled city since June.

Protesters also jammed the airport arrivals hall last month, leading to canceled or delayed flights and clashes with police. There were brief scuffles, pushing and hair pulling, between pro-Beijing and anti-Hong Kong government supporters in the mall of the IFC, a prominent skyscraper on the newly reclaimed Central waterfront. Some top-brand stores were closed.“In previous marches applied for by CHRF, participants, reporters and police suffered serious injuries,” police said in their refusal letter to the group.

When the day comes, everyone would eat moon cakes and playing with lantern without fearing to be beaten by thugs, just like we did in those days.

Mid-Autumn Festival is supposed to be a holiday for families to gather. However, the brutality of CCP and HK government caused thousands of families to have an unhappy Festival, some cannot even see their family members. SOSHK FreedomHK

Time to show some HK spirit🥰

More lanterns share with you. photos from lihkg_forum 5demandsnot1less FightForFreedom StandwithHK

MTR must give the CCTV footage!!! Highly doubt about what happened inside the station, 3 were probably killed by the police. They keep denying it but the evidence is clear.

HKers like this festival so much; however, I dont think they are in good mood enjoying the festival, given the Chao arising from Hongkong Gov and PoliceBrutality . Decision to restoring peace is all up to CCP & HK Gov. HKHumanRightsandDemocracyAct HKPoliceTerrorism
