HONG KONG—A small group of protesters paraded on July 12 around Hong Kong government headquarters with a mock coffin of city leader Carrie Lam, as activists announced more protests.

The march marked the one-month anniversary of the start of major protests that have rocked the semi-autonomous Chinese territory, sparked by Lam’s proposal to change extradition laws to allow suspects to be sent to mainland China to face trial.
