"HONG KONG -- A massive crowd of angry and worried Hong Kong residents -- estimated in the hundreds of thousands -- marched peacefully yesterday to protest an anti-subversion law they fear will undermine local freedoms of speech, the press and assembly.""This will push Hong Kong toward an era of tyranny," said W.C. Mak, a 74-year-old retired nurse. Mak said the last time she demonstrated was in June 1989, after Chinese troops crushed a student pro-democracy movement in Beijing and one million Hong Kong people took to the streets."
