Hong Kong protests continue despite downpour

HONG KONG, CHINA - AUGUST 25: - Thousands of people gathered in Hong Kong on Sunday to protest against a proposed extradition law. Protesters who were mobilized through internet marched from Kwai Chung to Tsuen Wan Park despite downpour. The autonomous region, which is under China’s control since 1997, is witnessing protests since early June against the local government’s move to legalize extradition to mainland China, Macao and Taiwan. Protesters chanting slogans "Free Hong Kong” rallied against the Beijing administration, which they accused of intervening in Hong Kong's autonomy. The police have intervened even in peaceful demonstrations, a college student, Billy, told Anadolu Agency. (Footage by /Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
