1,000,000+1 Peacefully March to Protest Against Extradition – 9 June 2019

Quite a stunning show of peaceful protest against the proposed new extradition laws. Over 1,00,000 HongKongers marched from Victoria Park to Legco.

We’ve had some big protest marches in Hong Kong over the years, but this dwarfed them. Like a living sea of humanity rolling down the street. High emotions, lots of passion, but no stress.

Throughout the day and deep into the night, people marched.

No violence, just peaceful apolitical HongKongers speaking with one voice, saying No to Extradition!

Hong Kong 7-0 Bhutan @ Mongkok Stadium – 11 June, 2015

A patriotic and boisterous sold-out Mongkok Stadium had much to cheer as Hong Kong strolled past Bhutan seven goals to nil to get their World Cup qualifying campaign off to a winning start. Jaimes McKee open the scoring and his team-mates joined him on the score sheet at regular intervals. Only poor finishing kept the score from reaching double figures as Hong Kong totally outplayed the team 5 places above them in the Fifa world rankings.

Hundreds of fans were turned away as the stadium sold out just after 6pm. What the crowd thought of China’s Fifa racist insults of Hong Kong was pretty obvious as the ‘National’ anthem was drowned out by boos and loud cheers of Hong Kong. As one of the many signs hanging in the stadium said Hong is Not China

Hong Kong’s next match is against The Maldives at Mongkok Stadium, 8pm 16 June – tickets on sale now.

Hong Kong
Jaimes McKee 19′, Christian Annan 23′, Kwan Yee Lo 30′, Ju Yingzhi 42′, Ka Wai Lam 49′ PEN, Jaimes McKee 57′, Godfred Karikari 67′
