HONG KONG—Several hundred Hong Kong protesters gathered on Jan. 21 at the site of an attack six months ago by an armed mob on pro-democracy demonstrators, denouncing the lack of progress by police in bringing those responsible to justice.

Chinese-ruled Hong Kong has been embroiled by more than seven months of turmoil sparked by a now withdrawn extradition bill that would have allowed individuals to be sent to China for trial.
