匿名者 Anonymous (Guy Fawkes Mask) / 香港聲援斯諾登遊行 Hong Kong Rally to Support Snowden (SnowdenHK) / SML.20130615.7D.42258

A protestor adorning the Guy Fawkes mask was seen in the rally to support Snowden in Central, Hong Kong today.

 

Originally from the movie V for Vendetta, the Guy Fawkes mask has become the international symbol for the online hacktivist group Anonymous, which might explain why they are often commonly called the “Anonymous mask”.

 

Although these masks are seen across the globe for different governmental protests relating to the global financial crisis such as the Occupy Movement, it is a rare sight in Hong Kong.

 

I had expected to see more of these today but this was the only man I saw among the hundreds who showed up today.
