HONG KONG: Riot police chased protesters through Hong Kong shopping malls on Sunday as activists launched Mother's Day flash mob rallies calling for independence and the city's unpopular leader to resign.
Small flashmob demonstrations broke out in at least eight malls throughout Sunday afternoon prompting riot police to rush in and disperse heckling crowds of activists and shoppers.At least three arrests were made while groups of officers conducted multiple stop and searches. At the start of last year's protests, Lam likened herself to an exasperated mother - and protesting Hong Kongers to demanding children - in comments that only poured oil on the fire of public anger at the time.
She has resisted calls for universal suffrage or an independent inquiry into the police's handling of the protests.In the New Year, she vowed to heal the divisions coursing through Hong Kong but her administration has offered little in the way of reconciliation or a political solution.
