٠٠:٠٢:٠٧Hundreds of demonstrators marched through Hong Kong’s financial district as they called on G20 leaders to oppose the controversial extradition bill which has stirred up a political crisis in the territory.
Protesters held up placards reading ‘Free Hong Kong, Democracy Now’ as they listened to speeches in Edinburgh Place.
One protester, Marco, explained that protesters were trying to use the opportunity of the G20 summit to raise awareness of the situation and request help from the international community.
“We're trying to give out our request or our hopes to the leaders from different countries on G20 in Osaka, when we really want them to help us maintain the control of Hong Kong in our own hands,” he said.
Protests continue despite Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam announcement of an indefinite suspension of the extradition bill earlier in the month. Protesters are now demanding Lam's resignation.
