Giant pro-democracy banner draped on Hong Kong hillside to mark second anniversary of Occupy movement

A giant pro-democracy banner was draped on Devil’s Peak in Lei Yue Mun on the second anniversary of the Occupy movement.

The 6m-long yellow banner, bearing the familiar Hong Kong slogan “I want real universal suffrage”, was hung on the hillside opposite Lei Ye House in Lei Yue Mun estate.

League of Social Democrats member Tsang Kin-shing said his group placed the banner there early Wednesday morning.

“We don’t want people to forget about the cause,” he said.

Hanging pro-democracy banners on mountains around the city first began during the Occupy movement in 2014.
