Today a Year Ago: 1-million-peopled Protest
The protest against the Extradition Bill was the largest in Hong Kong history on this very day a year ago.
The Democratic Front recorded 1.03 million participants, while the police claimed that there were only 240,000 people at its peak.
The government said that the procession was peaceful and orderly, but refused to answer the population's demand.
On the same day, the governmemt announced that the second reading of the bill would be carried out on June 12, 2019. After the march, police deployed pepper spray to people outside the Government Headquarters and the Legislative Council.
Another batch of about 100 civilians were stopped and searched by the police outside the Old Wan Chai Police Station at about 3 a.m. They had their particulars taken down by the police.

Elderly Protester in Hong Kong: "I am Too Old to be Afraid of Death. I Hope to Protect Young People"
A number of pro-democracy civilians were charged with rioting on the suspicion of entering or staying in the area of the Legislative Council Chamber on July 1. They were mentioned in the Eastern Magistrates Court on 10 June.
There were around 50 supporters cheering for them outside the court, including Grandma Cheng who often appears in protests.
Grandma Cheng showed up with a cross and signs in protest of the National Security Law outside the court. She tild the press that she would continue to support "the kids": "I was arrested yesterday. After being released, I was told that several kids are about to stand trial today, so I rushed to the court from North Point Police Station."
She pointed out that she was arrested at a public event in Central on June 9, the day marking the first anniversary of the 1-million peopled march in 2019.
Grandma Cheng was intimated by the police, "they said they would arrest me for assaulting and obstructing police officers if I kept on talking. At that point I was silent, but they arrested me anyway."
She showed reporters the injuries she had sustained while being arrested, recounting that while she was being arrested, the policewoman "pinched my ribs with her fingers, and handled me in a rough manner, causing bruising and scratches on my body.”
She said that she is too old to be afraid of death, and her greatest worry is that the police will hurt young people, so she tries to attend every event: "I hope to protect young people."
