Hong Kong: Hundreds of Hong Kong protesters, including flight attendants, held a rally in the airport’s arrival hall in a bid to “educate” visitors about the unprecedented demonstrations currently roiling the international finance hub.

The cavernous hall is usually filled with excited friends and relatives waiting to greet loved ones as they make their way out of one of the world’s busiest airports.
