HONG KONG — Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators crammed into Hong Kong’s streets on Sunday, their chants echoing off high-rises, in a mass show of support for a protest movement that shows no signs of flagging as it enters a seventh month.
“This is just the beginning. We have a long way to run,” said another demonstrator, Louisa Yiu, an engineer.Many marchers held up five fingers to press the movement’s five demands. They include democratic elections for Hong Kong’s leader and legislature and a demand for a probe of police behavior during the six months of continuous protests.
“I heard a small kid yelling slogans — 4, 5 years old,” Ng said. “That really encouraged me because it’s not just this generation but future generations, too.”Marchers said protesting has become part of the fabric of their lives since demonstrations erupted in June against a now-withdrawn government measure that would have allowed criminal suspects to be sent for trial in Communist Party-controlled courts in mainland China.

It is tiring and disappointing that no matter how many times of rally, how many protestors come out, HK Gov just turned a blind eye on it. Carrie Lam only listen to Beijing! So correct! Since she is not elected by us! She dun represent the people! Universal Suffrage please!

Show mercy China: your babies are ill; they are unhappy and must watch others get more than them?
Looks peaceful on the surface. Coz the HKPoliceTerrorists made planned illegal arrests after dark after the protests when people were trying to head home after Hk police shut / blocked many routes n MTR
See how the Asia's Violence behaved on the same day. They were once called Asia's Finest.
Over 80k HongKongers joined the march but puppet CarrieLam still has not responded citizens five demands.
Never give up!! Because FiveDemandsNotOneLess
From summer to winter, the people of Hong Kong have taken to the streets to have their voices heard. 5DemandsNot1Less As the government didn't respond to the demands directly, it appears HongKongProtests will continue for a much longer time.
It was a very peaceful with remarkable turnout rate. Even it's been 6 months and Hong Kong people still haven't forgotten our demands.
sponge_lazy Hong Kongers have been fighting from summer into winter. We are standing up against a powerful authoritarian state in the global battle for democracy. Exhausted, but we cannot give up. Our children deserve to live in freedom. We have to keep fighting.
We are persistent in our fight for freedom, democracy and justice. We won't forget. We won't forgive. Photo: HKPoliceBrutality caught on camera on 31 August 2019 at Prince Edward MTR station. (Source: HK01)
HKprotests will never stop unless the 5 demands are properly responded 5DemandsNot1Less StandWithHongKong
hu_jia Hong Kong people are actually so brave to come out to protest. Indiscriminate Arrest = beat, rape or murder! HK Police collude with thugs since 21 Jul, beat ppls to death on 31 Aug, many suspicious dead bodies found in the city & many missing cases. We need freedom & justice! 🙏
800-thousand+ of people in Hong Kong took march on the streets today. Might we all take a moment to think of those who’re still under the sufferings of an authoritarian Chinese regime, and the brutalities that the HK Police has done on HK citizens. FiveDemandsNotOneLess
Wow. People are tired of the norm. tiredofbeingtired
Hard to kill a contaminant that is good for you...The democracy disease...or the Freedom virus ,
Bonito gesto de generosidad 👍
