Hong Kong BN(O) passport holders, waving Union Jack flags, gather outside the British consulate on China's National Day, the 70th anniversary of the foundation of the communist state. A man waves his British passport while a sign reads: 'The Joint Declaration is Dead'. They were at the consulate to hand over a petition and to push the UK govt. to confront China about breaking the terms of the Joint Declaration, and also they wished to be granted full citizenship rights (they are BN(O), British National Overseas) passport holders (these were issued at the Handover to many HKers).
