2015 Hong Kong activists march ahead of vote on electoral package

Hong Kong activists march ahead of vote on electoral package, on June 14th, 2015. Thousands of people took to the streets of Hong Kong to protest against electoral reforms approved by Beijing to choose the city's next leader, the beginning of several days of demonstrations before the reforms go to a vote. Beijing has proposed a direct vote for Hong Kong's next leader in 2017, but only pre-screened, pro-Beijing candidates will be allowed to stand. Protesters, some wearing yellow shirts and carrying yellow umbrellas, symbols of their pro-democracy movement, marched from Victoria Park in the bustling shopping district of Causeway Bay to government headquarters.
