Protests in Hong Kong began in June in response to a proposed extradition law that would have allowed Hong Kong residents charged with a crime to be extradited to mainland China to stand trial.

The protests grew on Tuesday when protesters swarmed Hong Kong’s busy airport and shut it down for two consecutive days.
