Protests continue in Hong Kong, police again deteriorate

Hong Kong, Reuters. The movement continued in Hong Kong on Thursday as well. Hundreds of pro-democracy agitators took out a procession in front of the shopping mall of the metropolis and disrupted the business there.

In many areas, when police left tear gas shells to disperse the agitators, they became violent. Demonstrations have continued outside the shopping mall since then. In view of these demonstrations, police have increased security and patrolling around shopping centers. A young agitator named Sandy said that the purpose of the movement on Christmas was to show people that they have not forgotten their goal on the festival, their first goal is to demand democracy.

However, the police created an atmosphere of confrontation by firing tear gas shells and sticks which caused problems to the general public.

While the police have said that seeing the situation deteriorating, he used minimum force. People going to shopping centers were being stopped and businesses there were being disrupted.
