The Civil Rights Front organization, which organized a demonstration with over one million participants in June, called new protests during the slogan "a last chance".

The message in the message is aimed at Hong Kong's highest politician, Carrie Lam, who has so far refused to join the protesters' demands.

Sparkling mat

Crowds of people filled Hong Kong's streets on Sunday. When darkness fell, they lit the lights of their cell phones. The light formed a glittering carpet that stretched far.

-I don't know how long this fight will last. So far, I can't see the end of it, but we won't give in, says Kelvin, one of the protesters.

-It does not matter how we express our views, whether it is through peaceful marches or through elections, the board does not listen. It only follows orders from the Chinese Communist Party, says Wong, 50, who also participates in the protests.

The protest movement has grown

Today's demonstrations are held the day before the protest movement "celebrates" six months. During that time, it has grown from merely opposing a criticized bill to becoming a strong voice against mainland China's influence in Hong Kong. At the end of November, the movement also gained formal political influence as candidates close to it won a majority of the seats in the local elections.

Since then, a relatively quiet character has characterized the city where clashes between police and protesters have become commonplace. However, Carrie Lamb's unwillingness to concede, and the police's determination to turn down all the violence from protesters, have raised fears that the violence on the streets may soon be back.

On Sunday, police arrested eleven people for possession of knives, firecrackers and a semi-automatic pistol.
