HONG KONG: Thousands of protestors dressed in black rallied in Hong Kong today demanding for the full withdrawal of the extradition bill, which triggered protests in the financial hub.

Protestors disrupted traffic on major streets in a peaceful protest demanding that the controversial bill be scrapped.
