HONG KONG: Extra staff have been deployed at Hong Kong International Airport as protesters rallied over a polarising extradition Bill on Friday ...
Some protesters, dressed in helmets and seated on the ground of the arrivals hall, held up signs calling on the government to withdraw the extradition Bill completely, while chants of"Free Hong Kong" reverberated around the building.
"The world has been watching us in the past few weeks," said Jeremy Tam, a former pilot and lawmaker who helped organise the protest with other aviation sector employees. The Flight Attendants' Union for Hong Kong's main carrier Cathay Pacific had earlier asked its members to"stand up for our human rights and be connected with the rest of the Hong Kongers" on its Facebook page.
