In 2014, tens of thousands of Hong Kong protestors demanding electoral freedom camped on major inner city highways for 79 days. The—so called because many of the protesters carried umbrellas to protect themselves from police pepper spray—ended on December 11, 2014, after a violent crackdown by Hong Kong police.
"Demosistō is a party urging for people to fight for democracy with resistance instead of anti-talk.
Pro-democracy activists shield themselves with umbrellas as they clash with police on a street in Mong Kok, Hong Kong, on November 29, 2014. Wong has been billed as the mastermind of Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement in 2014, when he was just 17.If Wong wins this September, he would be the second youngest Nobel laureate, after Pakistan's Malala Yousafzai, who was only 17 when she was awarded in 2014.
It is not a comparison that Wong accepts. He called his own sacrifices"a piece of cake" compared to that of Liu.
