The Peaceful Protest Against China Extradition In Hong Kong Was Spoiled With Violence
PEACEFUL PROTEST – A peaceful protest against China extradition was initiated in Hong Kong ended up with violent conflicts between police and demostrators.
Hong Kong police follow protocols in dealing with disobedience. They have been seen in the past dealing with dangerous acts in the most appropriate manners considering conflict resolutions with the least damage in the outcome.
Watch how Hong Kong police officers disarmed this person carrying a knife without causing major injuries.
Meanwhile, a huge protest in Hong Kong was initiated by people against China’s plans of extradition in the region.
The recent protest was reportedly the largest protest in the Chinese mainland since 1997 when Hong Kong’s handover to China took place.
The protest happened last Sunday. Participated by more than a million people, this confronts the region’s pro-Beijing leadership and raises a political crisis.
Monday morning, the protest resorted to violence when Hong Kong police fought with small groups of demonstrators.
The local government in Hong Kong is pushing the bill to permit extraditions between the city and other jurisdictions which it does not yet have a treaty with.
The bill proposed triggered a clamor and spurred opposition groups that have united the cross-section of the city.
On Sunday, huge crowds of protesters marched despite of the scorching summer heat demonstrating against the governments plans on implementing new extradition laws.
The march eventually passed without reports of violent encounters.
However, few moments after midnight, violence started a chain reaction as local police decided to clear small groups of demonstrators who agreed to stay outside the parliament until the next day.
Bottles were thrown by protesters as police charged a few moments after the permit for the protest expired.
Police officers pepper sprayed protesters to control them and used spray hoses to push them backwards. Protesters responded by yelling “We have a right to protest!”
This is based on an article from PhilStar.
The conflicts went one between police and protesters.
That is all there is to it, at least for now. We’ll post updates as soon as we got them.
