100,000 hit streets as protests continue to roil HK

Over 100,000 people dressed in black took part in the pro-democracy protests here on Sunday, amid severe warnings from Beijing. Rains couldn't dissuade people from filling the Victoria Park then spilling out to occupy major roads in all directions, the BBC reported.

The protests were sparked by an extradition bill, which has since been suspended by the Hong Kong government.

Subway railway stations were forced to shut after getting clogged with protesters heading to the rally.
