Hundreds of protesters stage new rally at Hong Kong airport

HONG KONG, Aug 13, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hundreds of pro-democracy protesters
staged a new rally on Tuesday at Hong Kong’s airport, a day after a massive
demonstration there triggered a shutdown at the busy international travel
hub.

Only a handful of protesters stayed through the night, and flights resumed
at the airport early in the morning. But by afternoon, several hundred
demonstrators had returned, responding to a call for a new rally.
