Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Edinburgh Place in Hong Kong, commemorating six months since protests have erupted across the region. The protests have become a pro-democracy movement across the semi-autonomous city.

Police have made more than 6,000 arrests during the six months of protests. The cards are destined for those who have been denied bail. Organizers said they will be delivered via defendants' lawyers and lawmakers. Protesters said they believe dozens of people arrested during the movement could remain in jail during the holidays.
Many of the demonstrators came from work to join the evening “United We Stand” protest. They chanted “Hong Kong people, revenge!" in anger at police use of tear gas and widespread arrests during the mass demonstrations that erupted in June.
