Protesters in Hong Kong begin taking over a main street in a major shopping district.
A group of protesters has used orange and white construction barricades to build a wall spanning a major Hong Kong road near the Chinese government’s Liaison Office for the city.
Similar occupations in recent protests have ended in clashes with police when officers tried to clear the area. On Saturday, police used tear gas and rubber bullets in a protest that left at least two dozen people injured. The Chinese statement noted that both President Donald Trump and the mayor of New York had condemned recent incidents in which people had doused New York City police officers with buckets of water.
Police had rejected the organizer’s request to march to the city’s Sheung Wan district, where tear gas was fired at protesters a week ago.A large crowd has gathered in a park in downtown Hong Kong for the latest anti-government protest in what has become a summer of discontent.
