Internet Forum Attracts Hong Kong Protesters
Some members of an online forum in Hong Kong, used the forum to coordinate their participation in Sunday's democracy march.
The website -- Discuss.com.hk -- claims to be politically neutral but one of its chat room threads posted early this month encourages people to march for universal suffrage. Dickson Cheung Hon-yin, who posted the thread, said the public had the responsibility to fight for full democracy in Hong Kong. More than 100 people have responded to his invitation to march as a group on December 4 since his message was posted on November 5. He said members of the forum had exchanged contacts in order to plan their participation in Sunday's march.
