Description
And the rally on Sunday was the biggest one since the formal withdrawal of the extradition bill,...marking the 99th day since the beginning of the demonstrations back in June.
For more on this and other news around the world, let's turn to our Kim Da-mi.
Da-mi, tell us more about the protest over the weekend.
Connyoung, the Sunday rally was yet another violent, fiery clash with police.
Hong Kong police did not allow any protests or rallies but that didn't stop tens of thousands of protesters crying out for greater democracy.
Hong Kong police fired a water cannon and rounds of tear gas at protesters...as demonstrators threw petrol bombs, set fire to a subway station and trashed a subway station near the Legislative Council complex.
Pro-Beijing protesters also took to the streets, waving Chinese flags and eventually clashing with pro-democracy protesters.
Hong Kong media reported 20 people were arrested... all of whom were pro-democracy protesters.
The protesters also sought international support.
Singing "God Save the Queen" and waving Union Jack flags outside the British Consulate, protesters demanded that London ensures Beijing honors its commitments to Hong Kong's freedoms.
A group of protesters also urged U.S. President Donald Trump to liberate Hong Kong.
Demonstrations now focus on five demands including greater democratic freedoms and an independent inquiry into allegations of police brutality.
