Hongkongers are creating a pro-democracy human chain along Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, in a tribute to the Baltic Way 30 years ago. hongkongfp.com/hong-kong-extr… #HongKong #China #antiELABhk #antiELAB #NoToChinaExtradition 
Participants hope to raise international awareness of the pro-democracy movement and anti-extradition law fight. hongkongfp.com/hong-kong-extr… #HongKong #China #antiELABhk #antiELAB #NoToChinaExtradition Photo: @demosisto.
@demosisto One volunteer in her 20s told HKFP that she was handing out lyrics of popular songs that protesters are expected to sing later. #HongKong #China #antiELABhk #antiELAB #NoToChinaExtradition hongkongfp.com/hong-kong-extr… @holmeschan_
@demosisto @holmeschan_ A woman, who gave her name as Ling, told HKFP that she was part of a Telegram group that divided the human chain into regional teams. "We coordinated how to split up the human chain so it would be manageable," she said. hongkongfp.com/hong-kong-extr…
@demosisto @holmeschan_ For safety, the human chain will not pass through North Point, say organisers, a traditionally pro-Beijing area where armed men attacked journalists on August 11. Photo: @StandNewsHK. hongkongfp.com/hong-kong-extr…
John, a university student, joined the protest at Tsim Sha Tsui harborfront. He said he was born and raised in Hong Kong, and wanted to show unity.
“The people of Hong Kong need to stand together and show that they deserve their freedom, as they always will,” he said.

A Tsim Sha Tsui demonstrator in his 60s held a poster in Lithuanian.
“I studied the whole story [of the Baltic Chain] before coming. During the last protest at Victoria Park, we already thought about the idea, and we want to make the chain happen,” he said.

Protesters are apparently playing a game where they try and pass a box of mints from Tsuen Wan to Tsim Sha Tsui. Another box is being passed from Chai Wan to Kennedy Town.

At 9pm, protesters along the human chain covered their right eye to pay tribute to the medic whose eye was shot by an alleged police bean bag round on August 11.
At 9:05pm, organisers announced the end of the event.
