# Hong Kong protest,  reasons

The 2019 Hong Kong protests started in Mid-March 2019,  it is now over 250 days and still on going very strong.  it started as a protest against Extradition Law Amendment Bill (Anti-ELAB) and extended to include the following 5 demands:

1  Full withdrawal of the extradition bill;
2. A commission of inquiry into alleged police brutality;
3.  Retracting the classification of protesters as “rioters;
4. Amnesty for arrested protesters;
5. Dual universal suffrage, meaning for both the Legislative Council and the Chief Executive.



So far,  only the first one i.e. the "withdrawal of the extradition bill"  has been fulfilled.
