Yellow balloons with the words “No More Tear Gas” were flying high as many parents and their young children held a rally at a public square in the heart of Hong Kong’s business district on Dec. 1.
Hundreds of protesters showed up at the rally under the theme of “Children Don’t Want Tear Gas” at Edinburgh Place. At around 11 a.m. local time, they marched to the government headquarters, shouting slogans such as “No tear gas, return the city’s parks for me to play in.”
