Several hundred people on Monday joined more than a dozen hunger strikers to stage a march from the Admiralty Centre to the Chief Executive's residence, Government House.

They demanded Carrie Lam withdraw the extradition bill and release arrested protesters.

Among the hunger strikers was 73-year-old Uncle Chan, who appealed to young people to treasure their lives.

He and another hunger striker, Mei Szeto, have gone 12 days without food.

Szeto called on Lam to "act like a human".
