aug 5, 2019 - 8.05 Anti-amendments protesters rallied across Hong Kong
Description:
Anti-amendments protesters rallied across Hong Kong to press the Hong Kong government to respond to the five demands, and called on the public to strike and join the non-cooperation movement. The operation caused road congestion in many areas in the morning, disrupting service on many metro lines and significantly affecting flight services at the Hong Kong Airport. The pro-democracy Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions estimated that the total number of strikers in Hong Kong was about 350,000, and the number of participants in the rallies was about 290,000
