Hong Kong Protesters Occupy Shopping Malls on Christmas

HeadlineDec 26, 2019

In Hong Kong, protesters poured into the streets on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, occupying shopping malls and clashing with police amid the ongoing pro-democracy uprising against Chinese control of the semi-autonomous territory. Police attacked the protesters with tear gas, pepper spray, water cannons and batons. This is one of the protesters.

Protester: “We are here not to destroy anything, but we are trying to let everyone to know that we won’t celebrate Christmas, because we want to protest even on this joyful day.”
