Hong Kong faces 24th weekend of protest after student's death

Hong Kong protesters are planning a 24th straight weekend of pro-democracy rallies, including inside shopping malls across the Chinese-ruled city on Sunday, some of which have started peacefully in recent weeks and descended into violent chaos.[HONG KONG] Hong Kong protesters are planning a 24th straight weekend of pro-democracy rallies, including inside shopping malls across the Chinese-ruled city on Sunday, some of which have started peacefully in recent weeks and descended into violent chaos.

Protesters have also called for a general strike on Monday and for people to block public transport, calls that have come to nothing in the past. The weekend starts with a rally on Saturday to mark the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and a"support martyrs" assembly, both of which are likely to turn to protesters' demands for universal suffrage for the former British colony.

Candlelight vigils mourning a student who died after a high fall during a rally in the early hours of Monday quickly spiralled into street fires and cat-and-mouse clashes between protesters and police on Friday.Chow Tsz-lok, 22, fell from the third to the second floor of a parking lot as protesters were being dispersed by police.
