HONG KONG: Hong Kong police fired tear gas on Sunday to break up pro-democracy protesters.
The protesters trashed fittings at a station and shopping mall, the latest in more than three months of often violent unrest, International media reported.
Hundreds of protesters, young and old, had gathered in the New Town Plaza in the New Territories town of Sha Tin, chanting: “Fight for freedom” and “Liberate Hong Kong.”
Protesters called for a boycott of businesses in the Chinese-ruled city seen as pro-Beijing and made a paper chain of receipts from those stores, which were then hung across the mall.
