Alain Robert, nicknamed the 'French Spiderman,' scaled up Hong Kong's Cheung Kong Building and unfurled a banner with 'a message of peace.' More demonstrations are planned over the weekend with thousands expected to attend.
Flights resumed at the Hong Kong International Airport on Wednesday after two days of paralyzing protests that grounded planes and created a chaotic scene at one of the world’s busiest airports.
Hong Kong's flag carrier Cathay Pacific Airways said 272 flights have been cancelled in the past two days, affecting more than 55,000 passengers, and criticized the"disruptive behavior" of protesters. Protesters began occupying Hong Kong's airport six days ago, but mass demonstrations on the streets of the semi-autonomous city began in early June when hundreds of thousands of people marched peacefully against the government's proposal to change an extradition law that would allow individuals to be sent to mainland China for trial.
Many of the demonstrators at the airport are wearing eye patches to show support for a woman who was reportedly shot in the face by a bean bag round fired by police on Sunday.
