                     Protesters Return to Hong Kong Streets

   by VOA News

   Thousands of pro-democracy protesters returned to the streets of Hong
   Kong Sunday for the first mass demonstration since they shut down parts
   of the city late last year demanding full democracy in the former
   British colony.

   Organizers have said the protest will be peaceful and will not be a
   repeat of the so-called Occupy Central campaign in which demonstrators
   shut down key streets for two-and-a-half months beginning in late
   September.

   Authorities cleared protest camps in December without granting the
   demonstrators any concessions.

   The protesters are demanding that Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung
   Chun-ying resign and that Beijing reverse its decision to screen
   candidates for the territory's 2017 election.
