On this new day of demonstrations, tens of thousands of protesters descended Sunday in the streets of Hong Kong to demand the resignation of the head of government and pro leader Beijing, Carrie Lamand a smaller group, the total independence of China.

The protest took place in Sha Tin District and was held in relative calm until the police gave the order to decentralize and that a group of hundreds of protesters refuses to leave the street.

At the same time, about 1,000 journalists gathered in front of the Hong Kong Police Headquarters with the slogan "Stop police violence and defend the freedom of the press."

In recent weeks, "The journalists were unjustifiably dispersed, pushed, insulted verbally and even beaten with sticks and shot with rubber bullets by the agents", denounced the president of the Hong Kong Journalists Association, Chris Yeung.

Last month, the Hong Kong opposition launched a series of street protests that ended up being the most important in the recent history of the region.

The initial request was that the local government of Carrie Lam withdraw from the parliamentary debate a project of extradition of suspected criminals to China and other jurisdictions, which, according to the protesters and the whole of the Opposition could be used for political purposes against dissidents.

Lam finally agreed to withdraw the bill from Parliament, but by then the protests had created a climate of government rejection so intense that the protesters decided to stay in the streets en mbade and demand, not only its complete elimination, but the resignation of the chief.

During one of the most important peaks of popular mobilization and political tension this past month, hundreds of protesters took Parliament, forced the police to flee and left the Hong Kong company in suspense for at least a few hours.
