After a night of rioting, Carrie Lam calls on Hong Kong residents to condemn violence
A day after violent protests rocked Hong Kong, its embattled leader called on citizens Saturday to condemn violence and reject the rioters.
Lam on Friday used a colonial-era emergency law to ban protesters from wearing face masks after four months of anti-government demonstrations that have, at times, turned violent and put the city on edge. She said she decided to invoke the Emergency Regulations Ordinance, which dates back to 1922 when Hong Kong was under British colonial rule and gives the city's leader sweeping powers.
By Saturday afternoon, some demonstrators, many still with masks, had returned to the streets. Hong Kong's subway system was still closed down, and 20 malls as well as a major supermarket chain were shuttered. Of the ban on masks, Lam said,"We believe the new law will create a deterrent effect against masked protesters and rioters. We are now in a rather extensive and serious public danger. It is essential for us to stop violence and restore calm to society as soon as possible."
