Protesters have called for a general strike on Monday and for people to block public transport.
Hong Kong protesters are planning a 24th straight weekend of pro-democracy rallies, including inside shopping malls across the Chinese-ruled city on Sunday, some of which have started peacefully in recent weeks and descended into violent chaos.
The weekend starts with a rally on Saturday to mark the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and a “support martyrs” assembly, both of which are likely to turn to protesters’ demands for universal suffrage for the former British colony. Chow Tsz-lok, 22, fell from the third to the second floor of a parking lot as protesters were being dispersed by police.
Students and young people have been at the forefront of the hundreds of thousands who have taken to the streets to seek greater democracy, among other demands, and rally against perceived Chinese meddling in the Asian financial hub.
