'Let’s make Hong Kong great again': Pro-democracy protesters marched to the U.S. Consulate on Sunday to thank Pres. Trump for signing law that supports their months-long movement.
Protesters attend a rally in Hong Kong, Sunday, Dec. 1, 2019. China accused the U.N. high commissioner for human rights of emboldening "radical violence" in Hong Kong by suggesting the city's leader conduct an investigation into reports of excessive use of force by police. The back and forth came ahead of three marches on Sunday in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.
The Kowloon march was cut short after riot police fired tear gas and arrested a few people. A police statement said minimum force was deployed after “hundreds of rioters hurled smoke bombs” and bricks. Lam has said she’ll accelerate dialogue but has refused to offer any new concessions since the elections. Her government has accepted only one demand — withdrawing extradition legislation that would have sent suspects to mainland China for trial.
Waving American flags, black-clad protesters marched to the U.S. Consulate to thank Trump for signing into law last week legislation supporting their cause and urged him to swiftly sanction Lam and other officials for suppressing human rights.
