(Worthy News) – Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators poured into the Hong Kong streets on Sunday in a mass show of support — marking sixth months of pro-democracy protests and highlighting the resilience of a people who continue to fight for their freedom and autonomy against the Chinese government.
Chanting “Fight for freedom” and “Stand with Hong Kong,” the protesters formed a mile-long human snake that winded through blocks from the Causeway Bay shopping district to the Central business zone. The crowds were reportedly so large that the group was forced to pause at times. Organizers said 800,000 people participated, although local police didn’t have an exact figure.
