Hong Kong Police Fire Tear Gas As Demonstrations Continue<\/h1>\n

Protests continued in Hong Kong for a 10th straight weekend on Saturday as demonstrators organized across the city, blocking multiple roads and a key tunnel under Victoria Harbor.<\/p>\n

The protests checkered much of Hong Kong. At the airport, demonstrators dressed in black filled the arrivals hall with a massive sit-in, cheering in Cantonese, “Go, Hong Kong people!” and calling for the resignation of Hong Kong’s chief executive, Carrie Lam. It was the second day of what protesters said would be a three-day occupation at the airport.<\/p>\n

Protesters also demonstrated outside China’s military garrison in Hong Kong and marched through the city’s Central District, parts of the Kowloon Peninsula and a neighborhood in the New Territories, where police officers in riot gear cleared the demonstration with tear gas.<\/p>\n

In Hong Kong’s Tsim Sha Tsui district, protesters set fires outside a police station, prompting the police to release a statement that the fires posed “a serious threat” to public safety.\u00a0 www.npr.org\/2019\/08\/10\/750143749\/hong-kong-police-fire-tear-gas-as-demonstrations-continue<\/a><\/p>\n
