Hongkongers Climb Amah Rock, Longing the Return of 12 Pro-democracy Protesters Jailed in China

Nov 30, 2020 marks the 100th day since China has detained 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers.

On the evening of Nov 29, civilians in Hong Kong climbed up to the Amah Rock and displayed the sign of "#Save12". The Amah Rock is also called the Mong Fu Shek. The rock got its name, as its shape resembles a woman carrying her baby waiting for the return of her husband lost at sea.

In August 2020, China captured 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers and has them jailed in Shenzhen, barring them from meeting their families and lawyers appointed by the family.

In the past few months, people in Hong Kong incessantly demand Chinese authorities to return the 12 Hongkongers.
