Hong Kong police violence against anti-government protesters

Tens of thousands of protesters took part in the protest marking the twelfth weekend of the uprisings. The peaceful march, which was banned by police, turned into violent clashes between police and protesters during the afternoon after protesters blocked roads near a police station.

At around 4 p.m. on Saturday afternoon local time, police began striking protesters, while the latter threw thick sticks and other objects toward police.

The processors simply cannot protect themselves. Police are misusing their powers”, said a man watching this scene.

The road where the protesters were left empty after the police operation, which lasted about 15 minutes. However, protesters gathered again in other parts of the city on the early Saturday evening, where they again clashed with police.

The protest continued in the late hours of the night, when protesters placed barricades with baskets and other objects and addressed the lasers to a police station, writes the Guardian”.
