Around 500 Hong Kongers living in Sydney held a commemorative rally at the city’s Town Hall on June 12, the second anniversary of Hong Kong’s Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill (Anti-ELAB) movement.
The rally was held to remember the millions who marched peacefully in 2019 against the Hong Kong executive’s proposed amendments to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance, which would have allowed Chinese agents to extradite Hong Kongers to mainland China freely. The protest grew in momentum until 2 million people took to the streets —a quarter of Hong Kong’s population.
