HONG KONG - Hong Kong police fired tear gas to disperse pro-democracy protesters on Saturday after pro-China groups pulled down some of the “Lennon Walls” of anti-government messages posted in the Chinese-ruled city in more than three months of unrest.
“Radical protesters damaged facilities in Light Rail Town Centre Station in Tuen Mun with metal rods, hurled objects into the Light Rail tracks and set barricades in the vicinity, causing obstruction to the traffic,” police said in a statement. But in a message posted late on Friday on his Facebook page, Ho said that “for the sake of safety” the Lennon Walls would not be cleared up, only the streets.Steve Chiu, who works in finance, said people like Ho would only give the pro-democracy movement fresh impetus.
Hundreds of pro-democracy protesters also gathered at a shopping mall near the subway station in Yuen Long, a few km to the northeast of Tuen Mun, to mark two months since activists were attacked by a mob. On the night of July 21, more than 100 white-shirted men stormed Yuen Long station and attacked black-clad pro-democracy protesters returning from Hong Kong island as well as passers-by and journalists, wounding 45 people.
