Thousands of Hong Kong protesters, many wearing masks in defiance of emergency laws, staged an illegal march through the Kowloon district Sunday in a test the strength of the pro-democracy campaign after four months of unrest.
Banners reading "Free Hong Kong" stretched across the ground, other posters read "HongKongers Resist," and graffiti on one wall said "Better Dead than Red."
Police have declared the march illegal meaning the protesters, who range from young students to the elderly, many carrying umbrellas for sun protection, face arrest.
