Hong Kong, CHINA: Several hundred protesters take to the streets during a "right of abode" march to the Central Business District of Hong Kong, 09 May 2006. The demonstrators were asking the Hong Kong government for the right for their children, who were born in mainland China, to live and work in the territory. Right of abode in Hong Kong has been an issue since 1999 when a Hong Kong court granted the right to live in Hong Kong to children of parents who live here, only to have the ruling months later overturned by Beijing, prompting protests and debate over Hong Kong's judiciary independence from China.
