Thousands of Hong Kongers march for democracy
(AP)  Thousands of pro-democracy activists take part in a democracy march to Central, demanding for universal suffrage in Hong Kong Sunday, Feb. 1, 2015. The march is the first large-scale demonstration since the Occupy Central protest ended last year as the government started a second round of public consultation on democratic reform.

Chanting "No fake universal suffrage. I want genuine universal suffrage," the demonstrators held yellow umbrellas, which became a symbol of the earlier protests when the activists wielded them as a defense against police using pepper spray.

(AP Photo/Kin Cheung) The event appeared orderly and peaceful throughout the day. The annual march usually is held on Jan. 1 but was delayed for a month this year to coincide with the government's second round of consultations on electoral reform. The demonstrators oppose the Chinese government's decision that candidates in the 2017 election for Hong Kong chief executive will be vetted by a largely Beijing-controlled nominating committee.  Hong Kong (China), 01/02/2015.- So called 'localist' activists call for Hong Kong to declare itself a city-state, independent of China, are seen as other pro-democracy protesters march through the streets calling for genuine universal suffrage, Hong Kong, China, 01 February 2015. Pro-democracy activists took to the streets for their first rally since authorities put an end to their nearly three months of protests last year. Thousands gathered at Victoria Park in Hong Kong's Causeway Bay area to call for full democratic elections of the Chinese territory's chief executive. They object to a plan drawn up by Beijing that sees candidates for the city's chief executive pre-selected by a pro-Beijing committee before elections in 2017. (Elecciones, Protestas) EFE/EPA/ALEX HOFFORD The final election plan must be approved by a two-thirds majority in Hong Kong's Legislative Council before submitting to authorities in Beijing. But pro-democracy legislators, who hold 40 percent of the seats, have said they would veto the screening proposal. "This is pseudo universal suffrage, we do not have the rights to elect who we want," said protester Julia Choi. Organizers said 13,000 people participated, while police said they counted 8,000 at the march's peak. Police had raised no objection to the march, though the formal notice the department issued last weekend stressed that organizers should ensure none of the marchers tried to occupy streets as happened during the mass protests last year.
