HONG KONG -- Tens of thousands of protesters in Hong Kong linked hands to create human chains across the city on Friday night, as organizers strived to introduce more creative approaches to demonstrations in an effort to draw international attention to their cause.
Groups of demonstrators gathered to form a chain in the Wan Chai district of Hong Kong Island, an important commercial area, while similar lines forming in other areas of the island and Kowloon Peninsula, including the heavily touristed neighborhoods of Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok.
