Hong Kong police curb airport protest after clashes



HONG KONG: Hong Kong riot police took up a position at the main rail station serving the airport on Sunday.

The reason for that was to prevent a new anti-government protest targeting air travel after a night of violent street clashes.

Pro-democracy protesters have targeted the airport before, occupying the arrivals hall, blocking approach roads and setting street fires in the nearby town of Tung Chung, and trashing its subway station, International media reported.
