Deeply moved by #TaiwanRecall in Taoyuan. Met Pastor Li & Co-Lead Sze, a HK immigrant seeing parallels to #HKProtests. Many young moms volunteer for their kids' freedom, fearing Taiwan becomes today's HK. Powerful reminder: The people are the boss. #TaiwanDemocracy #CivicPower
A journalist running through a cloud of tear gas in Admiralty with the crowd in the background moving away from tear gas.
Two protesters wearing helmets and one carrying an open umbrella on tram lines as tear gas is fired in the area.
Police firing tear gas and spraying pepper spray as protesters move back from the area.
Riot police bunched up with shields and preparing to fire a tear gas weapon towards the crowd.
6 years ago today Hong Kong authorities decided violence, tear gas and lies was their response to legitimate protests around the Central Government Offices in Admiralty on Hong Kong Island.
A few of my photos from that very long day.

“You give up some of your privilege for something far more valuable: justice...the truth is, the courageous individuals leading the change too often are the very people most threatened by inequality.” @FordFoundation #HKProtests #hkpolicebrutality...
“if lawyers believe in the rule of law & accountability, they cannot remain politically neutral. They must side with democracy and resist autocracy.” @JusticeLabs. Baffling how some #HongKong lawyers are “neutral” during #HKProtests with police brutality & attack on rule of law.
Fitch downgrades #HongKong 1st time since 1995- bad news for corporates. Why is HKGovt running ads in newspapers saying the city is still open for business? Instead hold an independent inquiry & uphold the rule of law it claims it values. #HKprotests https://nyti.ms/2zXwJyA
