Hong Kong: Christian protesters hold prayer session in front of Legislative Council
Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
About 100 people gathered in front of Hong Kong’s Legislative Council Complex (LegCo) on Tuesday to pray for the end of violence and for protesters who were injured and imprisoned in the course of the recent rallies against the currently-suspended extradition bill.
The prayer session came after Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam apologised to Hong Kong citizens for a second time over the controversial bill which would have allowed suspects to be sent to mainland China to face trial.
She’s weak, mentally, spiritually, as a Christian we need to support her also, said Father Xavier speaking of Lam.
Attendees sang 'Sing Hallelujah to the Lord,' a hymn slowly turning into the unofficial tune of the rallies.
On Sunday, hundreds of thousands of protests descended on Hong Kong's streets against the bill. According to the protest organisers, nearly two million people participated in the protest. Police said that the turnout was 338,000 at its peak.

Thousands encircled the city’s government complex in the afternoon as a small group attempted to break into the legislature, while police waited inside and fired pepper spray through the gates.

HONG KONG CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT | FAMOUS BUILDINGS IN HONG KONG
#centralhongkong #hongkong #discoverhongkong
Welcome to Hong Kong's Central Business District, where we show you the most famous buildings in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong skyline is probably the most famous in the world, with its iconic buildings, each with different features, and designed by feng shui masters to attract wealth and prosperity for the country.
Each one is a different shape, colour, and even angled differently. Some 1200 international multinational companies are based in Hong Kong, and Central also hosts the biggest international banks. including HSBC, Citibank, Standard Chartered, Bank of America, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and many more.
Central being the CBD of Hong Kong is also where many doctors and lawyers are located, as well as the legislative council, final court of appeal. Cheung Kong is definitely one of the most famous iconic buildings, owned by Li Ka Shing.
'Central (also Central District; Chinese: 中環) is the central business district of Hong Kong. It is located in Central and Western District, on the north shore of Hong Kong Island, across Victoria Harbour from Tsim Sha Tsui, the southernmost point of Kowloon Peninsula. The area was the heart of Victoria City, although that name is rarely used today.
As the central business district of Hong Kong, it is the area where many multinational financial services corporations have their headquarters. Consulates general and consulates of many countries are also located in this area, as is Government Hill, the site of the government headquarters. The area, with its proximity to Victoria Harbour, has served as the centre of trade and financial activities from the earliest days of the British colonial era in 1841, and continues to flourish and serve as the place of administration after the transfer of sovereignty to China in 1997.
Central is located on the north shore of Hong Kong Island, across Victoria Harbour from Tsim Sha Tsui, the southernmost point of Kowloon Peninsula. It is bordered in the west by Sheung Wan, with the border being along Aberdeen Street (also called Wing Kut Street). It is bordered in the east by Admiralty, an eastern extension of the central business district. As such, Admiralty is sometimes considered a part of Central. Central is bordered in the south by Mid-levels, an area halfway up Victoria Peak. The boundary between Central and Mid-levels is not clearly defined.
For district council elections purposes, the area, together with Admiralty, correspond roughly to the Chung Wan constituency.[2] The boundaries of such constituencies may be subject to modification.[3]

The protest demanding the withdrawal of the currently suspended extradition bill, which would allow suspects to be sent to mainland China to face trial carried on into the night in Hong Kong on Monday.
Protesters held vigil outside Hong Kong's Legislative Council, some laying origami art and messages in tribute to as-of-yet-unknown protester who fell to his death rolling out a protest banner on scaffolding near government headquarters, on Saturday.
Christian protesters sang 'sing hallelujah to the lord', a hymn slowly turning into the unofficial tune of the rallies.

Hong Kong Protesters Clash with Police Outside Central Government Complex
Thousands of Hong Kong protesters clashed with police Sunday in front of government office buildings.
Protesters threw Molotov cocktails and bricks at police near the Legislative Council building.
Police responded by firing water cannons filled with blue jets of water, a practice usually initiated to identify protesters later.
The weekend demonstrations have continued for three months despite the Hong Kong government's promise to withdraw extradition legislation that sparked the protests. Dissenters have since broadened their demands for the direct election of their leaders and police accountability.
