Protesters crowded into one of the world's busiest airports Friday, greeting international visitors to Hong Kong with anti-government chants Friday in an effort to raise awareness of their pro-democracy movement.
Their demands include direct elections, the dissolution of the current legislature, and an investigation into alleged police brutality.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Hong Kong," the polished voiceover says."It is a safety requirement that you remain alert and vigilant at all times because the police will no longer answer your calls when you have any needs." Police have refused to permit the Saturday march, citing the risk of confrontations, but protesters say they will move forward anyway. They have created posters advertising the rally as a nondenominational gathering to mourn. Under Hong Kong's Public Order Ordinance, religious gatherings and funerals do not require police permission.
Some protesters called on foreign consulates to issue a travel warning for the city after the Yuen Long attacks.
