Hong Kong police shoot protester, igniting renewed fury | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News

A man is detained by police during a protest in Hong Kong’s Central district on November 11, 2019. – A Hong Kong policeman shot a masked protester in the torso on November 11 morning, igniting clashes across the city and renewed fury towards the force as crowds took to the streets to block roads and hurl insults at officers.

A masked assailant also doused a man with a flammable liquid and set him ablaze during an argument. The horrifying scene was captured on mobile phones and quickly went viral. Another unarmed masked individual then approached the officer and was shot, quickly falling to the ground. The man attacked by being set alight was taken to hospital in a critical condition, according to Tse.Hong Kong has endured 24 straight weeks of increasingly violent rallies aimed at securing greater democratic freedoms from China, which has ruled the city under a “one country, two systems” framework since its handover from the British in 1997.

Protesters have been incensed at what they see as police brutality and Monday’s shooting only fuelled the tinderbox atmosphere. Tensions in Hong Kong were already high following the death on Friday of a 22-year-old student who succumbed to injuries sustained from a fall in the vicinity of a police clearance operation a week earlier.
