Tens of thousands of people held hands across Hong Kong late Friday in a dazzling, neon-framed recreation of a pro-democracy 'Baltic Way' protest against Soviet rule three decades ago. The city's skyscraper-studded harbour-front as well as several busy shopping districts were lined with peaceful protesters, many wearing surgical masks to hide their identity and holding Hong Kong flags or mobile phones with lights shining. The human chain is the latest creative demonstration in nearly three months of rolling protests which have tipped Hong Kong into an unprecedented political crisis. #HK much #WOW
