Seven media groups took to the streets in Hong Kong on July 14 to protest police violence against journalists during their recent reporting on millions of people pushing back against a controversial government extradition bill.

The demonstration was called the “Stop Police Violence, Defend Press Freedom” silent march. Participants, mostly dressed in black with some donning reflective vests, gathered at Harcourt Garden in Admiralty before marching off at around 11 a.m. local time towards the police headquarters building and then the Office of the Chief Executive, also in Admiralty.
