universal suffrage

an independent investigation into collusion between police and triads

complete withdrawal of the extradition bill

release of all arrested protestors

removal of the definition of the protests as riots.

edit: I've unintentionally ordered them in reserve order of likelihood. ie universal suffrage being least likely.

it's very apparent.

when it kicked off nearly a year ago the police were never minded to affect any arrests as per their Police General Orders, mainly preferring to disperse crowds via control agents.

as time wore on you could see the police getting more aggressive pulling in special units, controls on usage of pepper sprays, tear gas and non lethal firearms was more widespread. they'd actively charge crowds to disperse and arrest

then they wheeled out the water cannons and unimogs. and upped their tactics like using vans to rush at crowds causing a stampede in at least one occasion

now under the guise of epidemic control they've taken to shutting down any sizeable gathering of people before it takes place with heavy police intimidation
