Tear gas chokes Hong Kong as protesters, police return to streets

HONG KONG: Hong Kong police fired tear gas to disperse anti-government protesters on Sunday as thousands took to the streets of the Chinese-ruled city after a rare lull in violence.

The protest, which took place in the bustling shopping district of Tsim Sha Tsui, came after hundreds of people had marched to the US consulate to show "gratitude" for US support for the demonstrations that have roiled the financial hub for nearly six months. – REUTERS
