Hong Kong Protest – This Is What Half A Million People Marching Looks Like [Video]
02 Jul 2014 by Jasmine Stone in Politics, Video, World
In a mass protest (expected to be half a million people) for a number of democratic rights, people took to the streets of Hong Kong to let their voices and presence be known. And they did a damn fine job, because that many people is pretty hard to ignore.
The protest marks the anniversary of the handover from Britain to China in 1997, but there are more zovirax issues fuelling the protest this time around. There’s a lot of civil anger regarding China’s refusal to allow the people of Hong Kong to have a free vote in the election to decide the new leader of the city.
Check out the full story on Al Jazeera and some pictures on the rally over on Mashable.
