HONG KONG - Rights group Amnesty International has urged Hong Kong authorities to urgently investigate a bloody attack on the leader of one of the biggest pro-democracy groups in the Chinese-ruled city, ahead of a march planned for the weekend.
“The authorities must promptly conduct an investigation into this horrifying attack...send a clear message that targeting activists will have consequences,” said Joshua Rosenzweig, head of Amnesty’s East Asia regional office. Police condemned what they called a planned attack and vowed to investigate. Sham was in stable condition, a government spokesman said.
Speaking at the city’s legislature on Thursday, nearly a dozen pro-democracy lawmakers condemned the attack on Sham and said they would continue to protest. Hong Kong has been roiled by more than four months of sometimes violent anti-government protests in its worst crisis in decades, posing the biggest popular challenge to Chinese President Xi Jinping since he came to power in 2012.
Unveiling one of the city’s boldest housing proposals in years, Lam vowed to take back large tracts of land held by a handful of powerful developers and create public housing.
