Following a day of violence in which one person was shot by
police and another set on
fire, Hong Kong's leader pledged Monday to "spare no effort" to halt anti-government
protests that have wracked the city for more than five months.
"I do not want to go into details, but I just want to make it very clear that we will spare no effort in finding ways and means that could end the violence in Hong Kong as soon as possible," Lam told reporters.
Lam also refused to accept the protesters' demands for political concessions.
