Umbrella Movement

The Umbrella Movement (Chinese: 雨傘運動) was a political formation that brought about the 2014 Hong Kong protests. It was formed in 2014 as a means of getting the democracy of Hong Kong from China.[1][2][3] In 2019, nine of the initiators were found guilty in a Hong Kong court for inciting public nuisance.[4]
