Police tear gas, pepper spray and batons flooded the front of
Hong Kong government headquarters Sunday afternoon as the authorities
cracked down on thousands of protesters who refused to end their
three-day rallies and street blockades across the city. The pro-democracy demonstration expanded to unprecedented levels over the weekend. According to the Associated Press,
the protests are led by mostly students and young adults who feel that
“Beijing has failed to keep promises of greater democracy for the
territory.” Beijing rejected a proposal that would allow open
nominations for a 2017 leadership election (the first of its kind in
Hong Kong) last month. Instead, all candidates will be picked by a panel
mostly aligned with Beijing, AP reports.
