As Hong Kong’s Leader Pledges to ‘Listen Humbly,’ Protesters Return to the Streets

Hong Kong began 2020 with more protests as crowds marched through downtown districts on New Year’s Day to call for greater political freedom.

Local media reported that the city’s Victoria Park—the traditional staging ground for large protests—began to fill up from the early afternoon.

Marchers chanted “Liberate Hong Kong” and carried flags reading “Revolution Now.”
