Umbrella banner

, October 23, 2014

A large banner hung by pro-democracy protesters is seen at Lion Rock, overlooking Kowloon in Hong Kong on October 23. About 200 Hong Kong protesters marched to the home of the city's Beijing-backed leader on Wednesday to push their case for greater democracy a day after talks between student leaders and senior officials failed to break the deadlock. The banner, which has an image of an umbrella that is regarded as a symbol of the Occupy civil disobedience movement, reads: "We want universal suffrage". Reuters/Tyrone Siu
