1st Anniversary of June 12:
Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Movement in 366 Days, 8784 Hours

On June 12, 2019, Hongkongers protested outside the Legislative Council to oppose the second reading of the controversial extradition law.

The police deployed at least 150 rounds of tear gas, along with pepper spray and rubber bullets, to disperse peaceful civilians, leading to public outcry towards police brutality since then.

Since then, the protests in pursuit of freedom and democracy go on, despite adversity.

In the Legislative Council, Starry Lee, the pro-Beijing chairperson of the House Committee, expelled the pro-demoracy lawmakers who displayed placards and shouted "Lest we forget 612" from the chamber.

Today is one year after June 12, 2019, where citizens protested outside the Legislative Council to oppose the second reading of the Extradition Bill and were later suppressed by violent police operation.

On the same day one year after, the government gazetted the equally controversial Anthem Law and Beijing has passed plans to impose the even more draconian National Security Law.
