On Saturday, another man who was reportedly handing out pro-democracy flyers was stabbed.Numbers attending protests have dropped from their peak. The movement has seen hundreds of thousands taking part in demonstrations on several occasions.
"The government are now refusing to authorise any peaceful protest," a demonstrator named Avery said on Sunday."That means anyone who comes out will inherently be breaking the law. So that's the tactic the Hong Kong government is using."Originally, the protests were prompted by outrage at a new law that would have allowed criminal suspects to be extradited to mainland China.
People in Hong Kong are fiercely protective of their legal system and enhanced personal rights, which are governed under an arrangement known as"one country, two systems".The extradition bill was eventually scrapped but the protest movement has broadened to include four other demands:An independent inquiry into alleged police brutalityHong Kong's embattled leader Carrie Lam is seen by many pro-democracy campaigners as a mouthpiece for Beijing – something she fiercely denies.
Ms Lam was forced to abandon her major annual speech in parliament this week after opposition lawmakers heckled her, brandishing banners and shouting slogans. Her speech, calling for an end to the protests, eventually had to be delivered by pre-recorded video.
Why does the BBC News persist in calling rioters, petrol bombers and pro - democracy demonstrators when they are clearly menders? When they are clearly terrorists? what would you report if London, ie Regents and st Oxford st were being burned - saints?
Why aren’t you showing whats going on in France for nearly 50 weeks, people have lost limbs?
China step in!!!
Stop these hooligans now or else Hongkong will burn. It is anything but peaceful protest. Provocation has crossed all limits. Act now Ms Carrie.
communism kills🇨🇳🇻🇪
Catalonia people are conducting' peaceful protest'now and where are your sweet girls and boys journalist?
This is terrorism. Those who still think those HK rioters are peacefully shall be condemned.
No good comes out of playing into the provocations.
It’s time for China to sort this out with some old school discipline 👊
I think there ought to be a clarification - the picture only shows that petrol bombs were thrown at a police STATION FightForFreedomStandWithHongKong
All these dipshits relating the hk protests to brexit don't have a clue
This is very interesting. The BBC CARES more about Hong Kong than it does about its own country.😂😂😂😂

Title: Petrol bombs tossed AT police Content: protesters threw petrol bombs at a police STATION HKers do not use petrol bomb to kill, they use it to stop riot police's march
London soon if we don't look out.
They're now out of order its high time Hong Kong authorities put rough boys on the streets..
so pls UK gov release the climate change protestors.they are fighting for the island's future.why couldn't you guys just feel their conscience.
It's a civil war. The people of Hong Kong (everyone) do not want China.
These people are fighting for democracy like the UK. Of course, the UK used to be a bastion of democracy but no longer. Remain MP’s have blocked the democratic vote of 17.4 million people. Better to stay with China I think.
