Hong Kong: Tens of thousands marched in sweltering heat in Chinese-ruled Hong Kong on Sunday as anti-government protests show no signs of let-up, with anger over an extradition bill morphing into a fresh front against what many see as an erosion of freedoms. "I came back to Hong Kong this summer because of the protests," said Mandy Ko, 27, who is originally from Hong Kong and now lives in Australia. "My spirit is still with Hong Kong people." But for many Hong Kong residents, the extradition bill is the latest step in a relentless march toward mainland control. Three people were arrested in connection with the seizure, which police described as the largest ever of its kind in Hong Kong.
