Police in Hong Kong maintain they have respected the rights of people in detention and said that online"rumours" claiming a person had been sexually harassed are false."We have looked into the records and I must emphasise that such rumors are totally false.

On Monday, Chief Executive Carrie Lam said that she would not give up on building a platform for dialogue, although the time was not right to set up an independent inquiry into the crisis, one of the cornerstone demands of protesters.
