Organizers of a mass protest that drew more than 1 million people to the streets of Hong Kong to oppose a controversial extradition bill are planning another march this weekend.

Following the million-strong turnout on June 9, Hong Kong’s top official, Carrie Lam, remained undeterred in pushing the bill forward. So, thousands of protesters showed up outside the city’s government complex before a scheduled legislative debate on the bill was to begin on June 12.
