joshua wong spoke to supporters on his release.ong kong peoplejoin demonstrations and protests over the past few weeks. this showed the spirit and resilience of hong kong people. we ask for is to urge carrie lam, the chief executive, to withdraw the extradition bill. what we are trying to do is civil disobedience and direct action and that the whole world singing doesn't let the international community is to realise that how hong kong people will not keep silent under the suppression of presidencies in being an chief executive carrie lam. carrie lam must step down, otherwise, ideally in the next two weeks before the anniversary of hong kong sovereignty, more and more people, not only one or 2 million people, not only one or 2 million people will come and join our fight in till we get our basic human rights and freedom. that is joshua wong speaking to the press shortly after his release from prison. joining me now from hong kong is the bbc‘s laura westbrook. laura, joshua now becoming a mouthpiece, isn't he, in a way to explain what

laura, we have been hearing from joshua wong.nificance of him being released and people hearing what he has to say? this is a big moment and no doubt it will inject some fresh enthusiasm into the protests here. joshua wong was one of the faces of the 2014 umbrella movement and he was jailed for his role in leading that movement. 0ne was jailed for his role in leading that movement. one of the key differences between now and then is that these protests have been largely leaderless. they have not been organised a major political party or political organisation. but joshua wong, we understand from his press officers, will come here to speak to protesters later today. we saw some protests earlier. it looks like the road has cleared behind you. do we expect people to return to the streets at some point? within the last hour, this road which is one of the main roads in central hong kong, it has been opened. we saw protesters removing barricades and also making their way to the ledge cove, hong kong parliament just over here on my left.

next ordinary moment, to seejoshua wong out just next ordinary moment, to seejoshua wong outjust thea wong out just the day after this massive protest in hong kong. is it an accident of timing? well, i think it is fairto an accident of timing? well, i think it is fair to say it is coincidental, becausejoshua wong himself already knew that he would be released. in the past week, we saw these two major protests, with the organisers participating. yesterday and sunday we were talking about that. also, we had the clashes on wednesday. just behind me you can see this crowd, chanting slogans right outside the chief executive office in hong kong. they have been cheered up a bit byjoshua wong himself, hearing his speech before they came out. john, joshua wong, for viewers that are not very familiar with him or do not remember him from 2014, a symbol to many of the demonstrators behind you of determination, courage, sacrifice, because in his early teens he started to be a demonstrator and protester for democratic rights in hong kong. then he was put away as a result of those 2014 umbrella pro

the pro-democracy activists joshua wong has been released. he was supposed to express his solidarity with 2 million protesters. he has been calling for carrie lam to step down. the pro-beijing leader is under pressure to put kate the crowd of people who have taken to the streets. for more, we can cross to our reporter who is in hong kong. i want to start with the situation on the ground. it is early evening there. we know some of the huge crowds have dispersed. are therere protesters left in t streets? been several thousand protesters on the streets today. it has been raining heavily at certain points. around the legislative complex. it is closed off -- it closed off a few streets in the area. they have mostly stayed very small. most protesters are tired. the ones who remain are hard-core proteststers, young students who came out lasast wednesesday. they are more of the hard-line activists. wong was released from prison today. would he think his appearance means for this movement. movement a the needed jolt of energy. people are starting to f

here's joshua wong's reaction to that.e that that is a kind of achievement, because of a million people of hong kong joining a rally to show our dissatisfaction, but what we ask for is the withdrawal of the extradition law instead of having it suspended. we know carrie lam or the hong kong government so it was suspended, but what we ask for is total withdrawal of the plan at all. no extradition law at all. that is what we ask for. the hong kong authorities have called the protestors rioters, that's certainly not true of the vast majority of them. so who are they? this article from english language news site shanghai ist argued many are christians and that the hymn ‘hallelujah praise the lord' has become an unofficial anthem of these protests. this video was shared by the activist and singer denise ho. # sing hallelujah. .. studio: she describes protesters resolving a dispute and then one of them breaks into song sing hallelujah to the lord. here's helier cheung in hong kong. some of them are 16, 17, in their early 20s and

pro-democracy activist joshua wong was released from prison monday. he was the face of 2014's occupy movement. he immediately joined this protest. >> hong kong people, we will not keep silent under the suppression of president xi and the chief executive carrie lam. carrie lam must step down, otherwise i believe in the next few weeks, before the 22nd anniversary of hong kong transfer of sovereignty, more and more hong kong people, not only 1 million or 2 million people, will come and join our fight until they -- we get back our basic human rights and freedom. >> and our anna coren joins us now live from hong kong. anna, it is 2:00 in the afternoon there. what does the day look like as far as these protests go? >> reporter: well, other than being a little bit rainy, rosemary, it is quiet here in hong kong, which is a stark difference to what we witnessed yesterday. it was absolutely historic. a sea of people making their way through the heart of hong kong. for hours and hours they came from victoria park to where we are here in at teymar, outside the le

joshua wong was mobbed by the media as he walked free after 31 days in jail.'s first political prisoner, sent to jail for organising a pro—democracy sitting. a pro—democracy sit in. his release came less than a day after vast numbers took to the streets here, demanding the withdrawal of a controversial extradition bill. joshua wong told me axing the bill will now not be enough. hong kong's chief executive must go to. she needs to pay the price. she needs to step down. if she doesn't step down, i believe the demonstrations, the rally that happened yesterday, is not the largest number of participants. in the future, there will be more than a million of hong kong citizens coming to the street again. this afternoon the hard—core protesters returned to the streets, vowing to press on until their demands are met. the much smaller number of protesters still out here today may not feel it yet, but they have already won. the hated extradition bill is in effect already dead. the question now, is what happens to hong kong chief executive, carrie lam? even pro—government

he and joshua wong have been nominated for the nobel peace prize for their activism. he was with joshua just after his release today. and here in new york, minky worden, director of global initiatives at human rights watch. worked and lived in hong kong in the 1990's. we welcome you both to democracy now! nathan, can you describe what took place this weekend, what your demands are, and whether you feel they have been met? >> i think after the 2 million people marching down last sunday, carrie lam did issue an apology i'm a but it is that enough. our demand is very clear and sound. she has to retreat the proposal. she has to investigate the police brutality. and she has to step down. i think of these demands are not met in the future, then there will be more and more protesters and rallies. amy: can you explain what the law is and why protesters will not accept it? country, to's one system with china, one of the most important features, is that we have separated legal systems. in hong kong we have independent justice, a trial, and rule of law. these are not found in ch

now of course the student activists joshua wong saying that carrie lam must go.ership under there? it is hard to judge in one sense because you under there? it is hard to judge in one sense because you may argue under there? it is hard to judge in one sense because you may argue that today we have a smaller protest. but still if you look at yesterday, on sunday, according to the organisers, there were up to 2 million people on there were up to 2 million people on the streets. that is quite a lot of pressure. what we have seen so far from the government is carrie lam has only issued a written statement saying she apologise to the society. if you really drill into how it is raised in chinese itself, the phrase is apologising orjust saying sorry. people are not happy about it. just around an hourago, people are not happy about it. just around an hour ago, the protesters have been 70 metres to my best, to the chief executive office, chanting for her to come out. in order to have a dialogue with these people. obviously they have not succeeded so far. now is the time w
