The police in Hong Kong once again dispersed the protesters, applying tear gas and waterlets

Police in Hong Kong uses tear gas and waterlets to disperse groups of protesters who gathered on Sunday to an unauthorized action on the Cowlun Peninsula, TASS reports with reference to the RTHK television radio broadcasting corporation.

On Sunday, anti -government speeches resumed in the city after several days of calm. The number of protesters noticeably diminished: only a few hundred people entered the streets. They gathered near the embankment in the popular tourist district of Shim Sha Tsui and headed deeper into the mainland.

Separate demonstrators in masks arranged arson, erected barricades from bamboo sticks and threw bottles with incendiary mixture at police. In particular, riots were awarded in the Mongkock area, where the metro station was closed for security reasons. During the clashes, several people were injured. The police continue to clean the streets from the protesters.

Since the beginning of summer, mass anti -governmental protests have been held in Hong Kong against the authorities' attempts to adopt an extradition bill, which allows the offenders to issue to continuous China. Despite the decision of the head of the Hong Kong administration, Karry Lam to completely abandon this initiative, supporters of the opposition from among the youth express their willingness to continue their shares.

In addition to the recall of the law on extradition, the protesters demanded to investigate cases of exceeding authority by the police, to refuse to qualify the protests as “uprising”, to free the arrested demonstrators and move on to the direct elections system. In addition, protesters demanded to cancel the recently introduced ban on carrying masks during mass shares.

The central government of China condemned the protests and accused foreign powers of inciting the riots. The Foreign Ministry has repeatedly warned other countries against interference with Hong Kong affairs, repeating that the situation there is "internal". It was also reported that Beijing rejected the proposal of the head of the Hong Kong Administration Carrie Lam to completely abandon the extradition bill and ordered it not to give in to any other requirements of the protesters.
