Violence in Hong Kong on 24th weekend of protests

Violence broke out across the New Territories of Hong Kong on the 24th straight weekend of anti-government protests, with police firing tear gas to break up rallies as activists blocked roads and damaged shopping malls.

"They have been loitering in several malls and vandalising shops and facilities therein, neglecting the safety of members of the public." The protesters are furious at what they see as police brutality and meddling by Beijing in the former British colony's freedoms, guaranteed by the "one country, two systems" formula in place since it returned to Chinese rule in 1997.Thousands of people gathered last night at a vigil for "martyrs", after a student died in hospital this week following a high fall.
