Hong Kong: Hong Kong police fired tear gas and water cannon as thousands of democracy protesters defied authorities in another unsanctioned march after Beijing vowed to tighten control over the restless city.
Commercial districts on the main island turned into a battleground as crowds of black-clad protesters, many wearing face masks despite a recent ban, clashed for hours with riot police.
Police responded with sustained volleys of tear gas, scattering protesters with water cannon trucks and making dozens of arrests. Hours later revellers in a nightclub district had a similar experience as party-goers scrambled for cover and bars shut their windows. By evening, the clashes had moved across the harbour to Mongkok and Tsim Sha Tsui, two areas that have seen regular skirmishes in recent months.The latest unrest came after China warned on Friday that it would not tolerate any challenge to Hong Kong’s governing system and planned to boost patriotic education in the city, which has seen 22 consecutive weekends of youth-led protests.
