Hong Kong braces for potential evening clashes between masked 'Halloween' pro-democracy protesters and fancy-dressed clubbers in a popular party district in the heart of the city
HONG KONG - Authorities in Hong Kong tightened security and braced for potential evening clashes between masked “Halloween” pro-democracy protesters and fancy-dressed clubbers in a popular party district in the heart of the city.
Some protesters have thrown petrol bombs at police, lit fires across the Asian financial hub and trashed buildings during five months of unrest. But one manager of a top-end, high-rise bar, who did not want to be identified, said it would be “madness” not to be worried. Prince Edward station, on the bustling Kowloon peninsula, would be shut from 2 pm as protesters planned a vigil to mark two months since large clashes between police and protesters.
This month Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam banned protesters from wearing face masks under a British colonial-era emergency law, but the measure has been largely ignored.
