Hong Kong students' most prominent activist, Joshua Wong, has called for the resignation of leader Carrie Lam, after being released from prison.
Wong became the face of pro-democratic protests in 2014, which called for the city to elect its leaders.
People in Hong Kong are back on the street, this time against a controversial draft law on extradition that allows extradition to China's territory.
Organisers say more than two million people gathered in protests to oppose it.
That was despite the bill was suspended by Lam on Saturday.
Organisers say the protest will continue until the law is completely abolished.
Critics have said this legislation would expose Hong Kong citizens to China's fragile justice system and lead to further erosion of the city's judicial independence.
