HONG KONG - Hong Kong cleaned up its famed party zone Lan Kwai Fong on Friday after a night of clashes marred Halloween festivities when police fired tear gas at protesters and were heckled by fancy dress revelers.
Since June, protesters have taken to the streets of Hong Kong in sometimes violent demonstrations in response to perceived Chinese meddling with the city’s promised freedoms. Police measures to bar people from entering the area has led to at least a 50% drop in business for bars and restaurants, Lan Kwai Fong Association Director Anthea Cheung said.
Thursday’s clashes come ahead of a pro-democracy afternoon march on Saturday from Victoria Park besides the shopping district of Causeway Bay to the Central business district. Anti-government protesters wear masks during a Halloween march in Lan Kwai Fong, Central district, Hong Kong, China October 31, 2019. REUTERS/Tyrone SiuChina will ensure Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability and protect national security in the face of unrest, the ruling Communist Party said this week after a key meeting of its senior leadership.
On Thursday, Hong Kong’s High Court issued a temporary injunction banning people from posting or spreading messages online which “incites the use or threat of violence”.
