Kong's pro-universal suffrage and anti-authoritarian movement (Hong Kong Democracy Movement hereinafter) was a highly complex social movement that lasted almost a year. The movement began in June 2019 in a successful mass collective response to a contentious Extradition Bill allowing the transfer of suspects to mainland China courts that operate under a different and opaque legal system. However, the Hong Kong government's early cancellation of the Bill did not end the Hong Kong Democracy Movement. Four more demands emerged, driven by "mass dissatisfaction with Hong Kong's lack of democracy and the police's performance" (Sing, 2020: 2). These were: universal suffrage; an end to the government's categorisation of the protests as riots; an independent inquiry into police violence during the protests; and an amnesty for arrested protestors
