Protesters gather on a main road near the Legislative Council as they continue to protest against the unpopular extradition bill in Hong Kong on June 16, 2018. The largely youth-driven movement challenging Hong Kong's government over an unpopular extradition law is a coalition operating without a clear leadership structure. And that adds to its appeal for supporters disaffected from the moneyed elites who run the former British colony, organizers say. Kin Cheung/AP
