HONG KONG—Flashing their cellphone lights, thousands of protesters held a rally in downtown Hong Kong on Dec. 12 evening, marking the six-month anniversary of intense clashes outside the city’s legislative building.
The evening rally was held at Edinburgh Place and organized by pro-democracy activist Ventus Lau. At the beginning of the rally, several prominent activists took to the stage to address the crowd, including Joshua Wong, iconic leader from the 2014 Umbrella Movement; pro-democracy lawmakers Wu Chi-wai and Roy Kwong; and Jimmy Sham, convenor of the pro-democracy activist group Civil Human Rights Front (CHRF).
