UPDATE: HongKong braces for another day of chaos, following YuenLong protests that turned violent HongKongProtests HongKongextraditionbill
HONG KONG - Hong Kong is bracing for another day of chaos on Sunday as a protest march has been planned from Chater Garden located in Central to the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park in Western, which is close to China's Liaison Office.
Meanwhile, bricks on brick-laid pavements on Connaught Road West - near the police HQ and police station as well as the Liaison Office - have been glued together so that they cannot be dug up by protesters and used as missiles against law enforcers, broadcaster TVB reported. The men attacked people who had been returning from an anti-extradition protest on Hong Kong island a week earlier on July 21 as well as commuters who had alighted at Yuen Long MTR station. The assault left at least 45 people injured. Police were criticised for their slow response to the violence by the attackers.
Mr Max Chung, whose application to hold a rally in Yuen Long was rejected by police, was taken away after speaking at the City Forum in Victoria Park on Sunday, a weekly public forum that brings politicians, academics and prominent figures together to discuss current issues. ST understands that he has not been formally arrested.
