새 학기가 시작되는 9월 2일, 홍콩 중고등학생과 대학생들이 동맹휴학에 나섰다. 230여개 중고등학교와 10개 대학에서 수만명의 학생이 참여한 휴학이다. 학생들은 노란 헬멧과 고글, 마스크를 착용한 상황에서 인간 띠를 만들거나, 에딘버러 광장에서 시위를 이어갔다.
이들의 요구 사항은 △송환법 완전 철폐 △경찰 강경 진압에 대한 독립적 조사 △시위대 ‘폭도’ 규정 철회 △체포된 시위대의 조건 없는 석방 및 불기소 △행정장관 직선제 실시 등 5가지다. 학생들은 13일까지 정부가 이를 수용하지 않을 경우 투쟁 강도를 높일 것이라고 예고하고 있다. 의료, 항공 등등 21개 업종 종사자들 역시 2일과 3일 총파업에 돌입한 상황이다.
아래는 동맹휴학과 총파업에 나선 홍콩 학생, 시민들의 모습.
