Occupy protesters return to scene in their hundreds to mark fourth anniversary of Hong Kong pro-democracy movement
Street booths, banners and yellow umbrellas reappear outside government headquarters in Admiralty, in scenes reminiscent of 2014 protests
Street booths, banners and yellow umbrellas reappeared outside the government headquarters in Admiralty, in scenes reminiscent of the 2014 protests.
There was added bite to this year’s anniversary rally, with nine Occupy leaders set to go on trial in November on charges of inciting others to create a public nuisance. The movement’s three co-founders also face an additional charge of conspiring to create a public nuisance.
Of the trio, Professor Chan Kin-man was the only one at the rally. Benny Tai Yiu-ting was in Europe appealing to the international community to help protect the city’s cherished freedoms while Reverend Chu Yiu-ming was in hospital with gastrointestinal problems.
