Pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong was released from prison on Monday, a day after up to 2 million people protested against Hong Kong’s embattled leader and her controversial extradition bill. He joined protesters outside the Legislative Council calling for Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam to resign. In an interview with DW, Wong said: ”Carrie Lam apologizing is useless because the damage has been done. Now is the time for Carrie Lam to step down, bare the political responsibility and withdraw any plans to prosecute activists.” The 22-year-old activist had been sentenced to two months in jail over his role in the 2014 “Umbrella Movement” protests against a Beijing initiative to screen candidates for the city’s top executive. Wong told DW that he would watch the German media outlet’s coverage from his cell and it helped inspire him to know that the world was taking an interest. “When I watched Deutsche Welle news inside prison I recognized how the international communities kept an eye on Hong Kong. I was really impressed.” Regarding the protests Wong said: “The government can’t ignore it. We are waiting for the miracle and turning something from impossible to possible.” Read more: Hong Kong protests: ‘This discontent is really about China’ Flowers mark the place where a man…
