Hong Kong (CNN)Hong Kong is preparing for another day of protest as campaigners look to keep the pressure on the government, despite a move by the city’s embattled leader to suspend a controversial extradition bill.
Protesters began to gather in the city’s Victoria Park just after midday Sunday, donning black and wearing white ribbons on their chests. Many carried bunches of white flowers to honor a man who died after falling from a building on Saturday, after holding banners opposing the extradition bill.
“We buy the white flower to hope that he can rest in peace,” said 23-year-old Michael, who works in concessions and only gave his first name. Like many others around him, he carried a sign saying “Freedom is Not Free.”
