Hong Kong: China’s military said fresh troops had arrived in Hong Kong as part of a routine rotation, as the financial hub prepares for fresh political rallies again.
State media published a video of armoured personnel carriers and trucks driving across the Hong Kong border.
In a letter to the rally organisers the Civil Human Rights Front yesterday, police said they feared some participants would commit “violent and destructive acts”.Protesters have not only carried out “arson and large scale road blockades but also used petrol bombs, steel balls, bricks, long spears, metal poles, as well as various self-made weapons to destroy public property, ” the letter said of previous protests.
But they have evolved into a wider call for greater democracy and an investigation into allegations of police brutality.On Sunday, police deployed water cannon and fired a warning gunshot to fend off radical protesters after a sanctioned rally turned ugly, in some of the worst violence of the past three months.The CHRF said they would appeal the decision.
