HONG KONG - Protesters were expected to gather in downtown Hong Kong on Saturday in the latest of a series of anti-government demonstrations that have plunged the Chinese-ruled city into its worst political crisis in decades.
The Civil Human Rights Front, the organizer of previous mass protests, canceled Saturday’s demonstration after being denied permission, but not having a permit has not stopped people demonstrating in the past. The MTR subway said one station on the western approach to the protest site would suspend operations in the afternoon because of likely “public activities” and that further action was possible.
He was charged with inciting and participating in an unauthorized assembly outside police headquarters on June 21. Beijing has also accused foreign powers, particularly the United States and Britain, of fomenting the demonstrations and warned against foreign interference.
