The Hong Kong Protest: 20 Intense Photos

Occupy Central protesters march with 500-meter long black cloth, which they say symbolizes the loss of credibility in Beijing's refusal to allow true democracy in Hong Kong, September 14, 2014. The march was conducted ahead of the 'Occupy Central' civil disobedience movement's planned blockade in October at the city's central business district if Beijing does not allow the city to conduct a genuinely democratic election in 2017, according to the movement organizers. The Chinese characters on the cloth read 'Civil Disobedience.'
