Organizers of Hong Kong’s Occupy Central with Love and Peace movement are inviting people to join a “democracy banquet” on the Oct. 1 holiday to fight for broader democratic rights in the city.
People who support democracy are welcome to attend the “banquet” or just to watch it, Benny Tai, a professor at The University of Hong Kong and co-founder of the Occupy Central movement, said in a Facebook post yesterday. The first day of October is China’s National Day, marking the start of the Communist Party’s rule in 1949.
