Hong Kong protesters in standoff with police in the key shopping and hotel artery of Nathan Road. More here:
HONG KONG - Hong Kong police fired volleys of tear gas to disperse thousands of protesters, many wearing banned face masks, who converged on the Kowloon harbor-front tourist district on Sunday to denounce perceived police brutality over months of unrest.
The number of protesters had been growing by the minute, streaming down Nathan Road to the water’s edge, facing the dramatic skyline of Hong Kong island opposite, but many fled after the tear gas and pepper spray were fired.Police detained some protesters as they gathered, many yelling profanities while police used loudhailers to warn others away.
Chu said she was there to support journalists. When asked if she really wanted to give her full name, she said: “I am not afraid. If Hong Kong people are afraid of things like that, then the ending is not good.”
