Participants demonstration of all ages carrying banners "Independence Hong Kong" and applauded the 25-year-old Edward Leung, one of the five candidates admitted by the Chinese authorities to start in the September elections. They recognize that calling for the independence of Hong Kong is illegal, since it is in contradiction with the current status of the former British colony.

- Hong Kong's sovereignty does not belong to Xi Jinping, China's president, does not belong to the government. It belongs to the people of Hong Kong - said Leung demonstrators.

On Tuesday, he announced that although the sign required by the document stating that "Hong Kong is an inseparable part of China", his candidacy was not accepted.

- Independence for Hong Kong - shouted to the crowds rejected another candidate Andy Chan. In an interview with AFP explained that he and other supporters of independence does not advocate the use of violence, but they want to their idea to convince to mass demonstrations.

Independence Hong Kong was until recently a taboo subject in the public debate, however, has changed together with the creation of several pro-independence groups, which was caused by growing dissatisfaction mostly young people from the actions of the Chinese authorities in the region restricting political rights.

Hong Kong since 1997, it is a special administrative region of the PRC. According coined by the then leader of China Deng Xiaoping's principle of "one country, two systems," Hong Kong enjoys a high degree of independence, and its residents enjoy freedoms not available to their compatriots from other parts of China, including freedom of speech and of the press, contained in the law basic and the small constitution of Hong Kong. This principle is valid for 50 years, ie to 2,047 years.

Since 2014 when the Hong Kong underwent a wave of mass pro-democracy demonstrations, a small but growing population demands independence for the region. They call on the UN for recognition of Hong Kong as a sovereign state, as well as the establishment of a democratic government and adopt their own constitution. They stress that the historical legacy and identity of Hong Kong need more effective protection; also critical of the current government of Hong Kong for being a "puppet" government in Beijing and the official opposition - too weak to respond to growing calls for independence.
