It is estimated that well over a million people took part in protests against a new law proposed by the Beijing-controlled legislature that would permit extradition of criminal suspects to China, despite that country’s deeply flawed and unjust judicial system.

It is nearly twice as many as are estimated to have taken part in the Umbrella Revolution back in 2014.
