What sparked the protests and the political crisis in Hong Kong?
Hundreds of thousands of people in Hong Kong have continued to protest in the streets since demonstrations began in June 2019.
The protests started as an outcry over an extradition bill and have reawakened Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement.
