caption_attribution_description: Protest against proposed extradition law
context_page_description: This is a list of 2019–20 Hong Kong protests from March to June. These protests are considered the early stage of the movement, starting with the first demonstrations after the publication of the 2019 Hong Kong extradition bill on 29 March and going up to the last protests in June before the annual 1 July march and subsequent increases in activity and violence levels. Furthermore, in between the bill was introduced and the first large-scale demonstrations, some form of one-man / few-people demonstration also did took place.
context_section_description: The second protest march against the extradition bill began at East Point Road, Causeway Bay and headed to the Legislative Council in Admiralty. The march lasted over four hours. While police estimated 22,800 protesters, organisers claimed 130,000 participants. The latter figure was the highest since the estimated 510,000 that organisers claimed joined the annual 1 July protest in 2014.
  The next day, Chief Executive Carrie Lam remained adamant that the bill would be enacted and said the Legislative councillors had to pass the new extradition laws before their summer break. Lam said Chan Tong-kai, the murder suspect, could be out of prison by October, hence the urgency of passing the extradition bill. Although Chan received a prison sentence on 29 April, Secretary for Security John Lee expected that Chan could be free to leave Hong Kong early for good behaviour.
