Скачать или смотреть Student Strike at Charter Garden Central in Hong Kong

(30 Sep 2019) Dozens of students rallied on Monday in Hong Kong's Charter Garden Central ahead of China's National Day to spread the message "five demands, not one less".
One student said that Chief Executive Carrie Lam responded to one demand by shelving a controversial extradition bill that sparked a summer of protests in the semi-autonomous region.
Student Curry Pang said Lam "thought Hong Kong would accept it".
Other demands include calling for Lam to step down and direct elections for the city's leader.
Hong Kong authorities on Monday rejected an appeal for a major pro-democracy march on China's National Day holiday after two straight days of violent clashes between protesters and police raised fears of more showdowns that could embarrass Beijing.
On Saturday and Sunday, riot police repeatedly fired water cannons and volleys of tear gas after demonstrators hurled Molotov cocktails at officers, targeted the city's government office complex and set off street fires.
Many protesters are planning to go out on the street again Tuesday, wearing black as posters call for Oct. 1 to be marked as "A Day of Grief".
