Hong Kong - Over 150 people were arrested during mass protests in Hong Kong over the weekend, police said on Monday, as authorities warned foreign governments not to interfere in the semi-autonomous city's "internal affairs."
Anti-government protesters have resorted to increasingly radical tactics in an attempt to pressure the Hong Kong government to meet their demands, which have grown to include electoral reforms and Lam's resignation. Police reported that more than one third of MTR stations had been vandalized and over 100 petrol bombs have been thrown in recent weeks.
Protesters have condemned what they see as excessive force by the police, including the use of tear gas in enclosed areas, non-lethal bullets at close range, and water cannons.Superintendent John Tse urged Hong Kong people to express themselves in a "peaceful and orderly" manner.
