Anti-Bejing protesters march through shopping centres in Hong Kong on Christmas as police fire tear gas to disperse crowds
A protester reacts after police fire tear gas to disperse bystanders in a protest in Jordan district in Hong Kong, early on December 25, 2019.
In Mong Kok, an area that has seen frequent clashes over the last six months, police fired multiple rounds of tear gas to disperse crowds that were heckling officers.Pepper spray was also used in at least two malls as police and protesters clashed. Multiple young protesters were detained, some by plainclothes police who had mixed with the crowds, according to live local TV broadcasts.
Hong Kong's pro-Beijing leader Carrie Lam on Wednesday condemned the Christmas Eve protesters on Facebook, describing them as "reckless and selfish rioters". The months of protest have helped tip a financial hub already battered by the US-China trade war into a recession and intensified political polarisation.
Among the demands being made by protesters is an inquiry into the police, amnesty for the more than 6,000 people arrested and the right to elect Hong Kong's leader.The city's many malls have become regular protest venues as demonstrators try to cause economic disruption.
