In February 2019, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Security Bureau proposed amendments to extradition laws, and scuffles broke out in the legislature during the discussion. Long-term grievances against the governance trigger the demonstrations, which is then coupled with clashes between the police and the citizens during demonstrations. Before the resumption of the second reading of the draft, a demonstration with the largest number of participants since the handover broke out in Hong Kong, the months-long Hong Kong's Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement (Anti-ELAB movement) had begun. Most of the research about the Anti-ELAB movement uses quantitative research method, this research will adopt qualitative research methods to broaden the understanding of the social media mobilization during the Anti-ELAB movement, and collect data through in-depth interviews with four types of interviewees that are closely related to the anti-extradition movement. Also, research applying text analysis explores infographics during the Anti-ELAB movement, discussing the effect of social media mobilization and infographic content, to delineate how social media was applied during the Anti-ELAB movement. |
