Hong Kong (CNN)Mid Autumn Festival is typically celebrated with lanterns, lion dances and mooncakes, but this year Hong Kong is adding a more recent tradition: protests.
Saturday marks the 15th consecutive weekend of protests over an extradition bill with China, the withdrawal of which was finally announced this month. Protesters have vowed to continue the unrest until the government responds to more of their key demands, including an investigation into allegations of police brutality and the resumption of long-stalled political reform.
The Hong Kong Tennis Open, due to take place next month, has been indefinitely postponed “in light of the present situation,” the latest public event to be canceled over apparent security concerns.
