Hong Kong braces for another weekend of protests including a three day sit-in at the airport
Protest members participate in a rally titled"Guard Our Children's Future" at Edinburgh Place in Hong Kong, China, August 10, 2019
Protests planned for Saturday include one in Tai Po, a town in the north of the territory, and gatherings of elderly Hong Kongers and families. China, meanwhile, demanded that the city's flag carrier Cathay Pacific Airways suspend staff involved in the demonstrations. One of its pilots was arrested last week.
Young people have been at the forefront of the protests, worried about the erosion of freedoms in Hong Kong by China but also concerned with issues such as the wealth disparities in the financial centre.Elderly anti-extradition bill protesters rally at police headquarters in Hong Kong, China, August 10, 2019
