Massive Pro-Democracy Rally Held in Hong Kong

HeadlineJul 02, 2014

Tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, rallied in Hong Kong on Tuesday in a call for democracy free from Chinese control. Pro-democracy activists have been organizing for local elections, prompting China to declare it has ultimate authority over the city-state. More than 500 people were arrested. It was Hong Kong’s largest protest in a decade.
