Hong Kong protesters hold ‘first civil press conference’ – video
Masked Hongkongers have staged their first press conference, calling for the return of power to the people. ‘We are Hong Kong citizens from different positions from the movement,’ one masked man said. ‘This is the first civil press conference of Hong Kong – by the people, for the people.’ The city’s chief executive, Carrie Lam, had announced this week that the police force would be holding daily press conferences. In response, a group of protesters have ‘initiated a citizens’ press conference to bring the people’s unheard voice to the public’.
