| Many haven't forgotten this sight five years later in Hong Kong |
Five years ago 2 million people came out to the streets of Hong Kong to tell the government to stop the extradition bill.
But to no avail.
It showed that traditional ways of communicating with those in power were not effective anymore, which led to an escalation of tactics that were used later on in the protests of 2019.
Despite three years of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the implementation of the national security law and most recently Article 23, the protests are still fresh in people's minds.
How can one forget what 2 million people in the sweltering heat looks like?
And no one can forget the outcome of the protests. It is yet another momentous event in modern history that has resulted in the mass migration of people in the name of freedom.
