Hong Kong riot
police swept into several shopping malls on Saturday, chasing off and arresting some anti-government Hong Kong demonstrators who had gathered to press their demands in the peak shopping weekend before Christmas.
In a mall in Yuen Long, close to the
China border, hundreds of black-clad
protesters marked the five-month anniversary of an attack in a train station by an armed mob wearing white T-shirts which beat up bystanders and protesters with pipes and poles.
The protesters demanded justice for the attack, shouting "Fight for Freedom" and "Stand With Hong Kong".
