Two Parades in Hong Kong This Sunday Have a Direct Message for Beijing


Two groups are set to take to the streets of Hong Kong this Sunday. Although marching for different causes, both groups have a message directed at Beijing who they are intent on hearing their demands.

Civil Human Rights Front (CHRF), the main opposition group behind the ongoing protests against Hong Kong’s controversial extradition bill, is set to hold another march from Victoria Park in Causeway Bay to Luard Road in Wan Chai this afternoon.

According to CHRF’s Facebook page, the July 21 march calls for the Hong Kong government to set up an independent commission of inquiry to investigate police actions over the past month after police were widely criticized for using excessive force against protesters.
