Thousands of pro-democracy protesters gather in Central district Hong Kong for a rally themed "2020 Karma to Commies Universal Siege on Communists". Hong Kong's protests were sparked by a now abandoned plan to allow criminal extradition to the mainland, where the opaque court system is beholden to the communist party. It has since morphed into a wider anti-government movement. IMAGES
