In the largest of three rallies on Sunday along the waterfront on the Kowloon side of Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong, a key thoroughfare was packed with demonstrators, from hardened masked protesters to families and the elderly. They chanted “Five demands, not one less” and “Disband the police force” as they marched. That rally followed two other marches earlier on Sunday as protesters sought to keep the pressure on city leader Carrie Lam after the recent win by the pro democracy camp in district council elections and the gaining of U.S. support for their cause. “If we don’t walk out, the government will say it’s just a youth issue, but this problem affects all of us,” Lily Chau, 30, said as she pushed her toddler in a stroller at the march in Kowloon. “If we are scared, the government will continue to trample on our rights.” Police estimated that 16,000 people attended the Kowloon rally. 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. Marchers berated police as they scrambled to flee the tear gas, shouting “Dirty cops” and “Are you trying to kill us?” Some protesters dug up paving stones and threw them on the street to try to slow the police down. More tear gas was fired at night after dozens of hardcore protesters set up roadblocks and vandalized some shops and restaurants linked to China.Tensions started on Saturday night after police used pepper balls against protesters and a man was hit in the head by an unidentified assailant while clearing the street. Ms. 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.Elaine Wong, an office worker who was at the Kowloon march, called the recent election win “an empty victory.” “We have, in fact,not won any concessions for our demands,” she said.
