HONG KONG—High school students gathered for a rally on Aug. 22 to protest the government’s response to the extradition bill crisis and call for international support.
The crowd chanted “Hong Kong stay strong, the revolution of our times,” as protests entered their 11th consecutive week, stemming from opposition to an extradition bill that would allow the Chinese regime to transfer individuals for trial in mainland China. The proposal drew widespread fears that given China’s disregard for rule of law, critics of the Chinese regime would be punished with impunity.
