All departing flights canceled at one of the world's busiest airports as protesters occupy terminals of Hong Kong International Airport for fourth consecutive day.

Hong Kong International Airport has canceled all remaining flight departures for the day after thousands of anti-government protesters flooded its terminals."Airport operations at Hong Kong International Airport have been seriously disrupted as a result of the public assembly at the airport today," airport authorities said in a statement on Monday afternoon."All check-in service for departure flights has been suspended.

Many of the demonstrators were wearing eye patches on Monday to show support for a woman who was reportedly shot in the face by a bean bag round fired by police on Sunday. There are unconfirmed reports she could lose her right eye as a result of the injury.

Is it just me, or is China's social score system turning nasty?

Instersting to see ABC only run one side story and... wow people buy it! Please take a look of tjis video clip and tell me ...

If China intervenes, I feel there will be dead protesters. Instead of communicating with the protesters.

MorganScott1979 Look at these people fighting for freedom, and you try to strip away Americans freedom, you should be proud of yourself

China please bring law & order

why Chinese fight with Chinese,just because of “freedom”?

Jeez they’re not throwing their punches gents briang8394 curious_twitt

No, I don't see any protests about their children or themselves in front of them. They are using the radical ideas of college students and young people to make a profit for them. They have been forced to jump over a wall and have to do such a thing

JackPosobiec Why don’t you guys report on the yellow vest in France? That got pretty violent....believe 17 people killed over the last 30+ weeks

JackPosobiec Police Riot

One of the most remarkable cities I've ever visited. Shame what's happening there. As they say, once you've been to Paris its hard to go back to the farm!

Sarah_Pndj The Rally in HKG International Airport seems to run without clash...but on other places, so different

JackPosobiec They want the 2A and this is why

JackPosobiec When will you report on the 39 weeks of protests in France?

but why they carried the UK flag? 你们只看港警镇压示威者,为什么不发示威者阻碍社会秩序,殴打港警呢?

港警血腥鎮壓 香港加油!!!!!!!

Call in the military, it is time

the police did well

I think Hong Kong needs a dose of good old Murican freedom. Ready to die for Chan boys? That is of course if Israel doesn't need us to fight on their behalf but we can ask Nethanyahu if it doesn't inconvenience them and their silk road initiative.

Protestors getting smashed.

Police should take action to those idiots from beginning.

我看到了一群恐怖分子在血腥镇压抗议者

China needs to maybe have a look at this and slow their roll.

The Chinese military will be coming in shortly and these people will start disappearing..... just wait and see.

Duh why wound corrupt politicians willingly give up power. They are gonna have to take it by force. Best of luck

Protesting in a train station, where the tear gas will envelop you and you have no where to run.

アジアの同胞として、protesterの抵抗を誇りに思います。日本から応援しています。 香港加油 🇭🇰

Keep protesting, China doesn't have all your pictures yet. What did people think was going to happen? ☠️

Why they not usin Karate!!!!!

english flag?!

Should read: Police beat journalists. But hey. Not like you folks care about journalists...or facts, right?

Looks like Trump's tariffs are working. The commies are feeling the pinch.

HongKongProtests

It looks very foolish.

Over 7000 people die EVERYDAY in the US Don't be arrogant and think it cant be YOU After Death come's JUDGEMENT. YOU will Stand in front of GOD and give an account of your life. Nothing you have said or done will be enough! Unless you have accepted the sacrifice of JESUS!

Yeah protest the government by ruining other people’s vacations and business trips, makes sense.

I hope to Hell they know that China is moving 2 armored columns towards them. I see martial law in the very near future

NavarroDanny9 - tracking this?

Keep it up, Hong Kong! You were sold out!

For what are we waiting?

Looks like they want less of Obama-style policy.

arleta_james GO HONG KONG!

Can't they just run em over with a tank?

This is what protecting your democracy looks like.

Ohh wow
