Rain fails to deter Hong Kong protesters. More here:
HONG KONG - Hundreds of thousands of anti-government protesters rallied peacefully in Hong Kong on Sunday, filling major thoroughfares in sometimes torrential rain in the eleventh week of what have been often violent demonstrations in the Asian financial hub.
“It does not mean we won’t keep fighting. We will do whatever is necessary to win, but today we take a break, then we reassess.” Despite rally organizers not having permission to march, the park could not accommodate the crowd, which thronged nearby streets. Many protesters headed toward the city’s financial center, chanting for the city’s Beijing-backed leader, Carrie Lam, to step down.
“The most important thing at present is to restore social order as soon as possible,” he said. “When everything is calm, the government will engage in a sincere dialogue with the public to fix the social rifts and rebuild social harmony.”
