- Story Text: Hong Kong protesters set barricade on fire on Sunday (September 1), after shutting down a highway leading to the international airport.
Thousands of protesters blocked roads and public transport links to Hong Kong airport in a bid to draw global attention to their fight for greater democracy for the Chinese-ruled city which is facing its biggest political crisis in decades.
The Tung Chung MTR subway station was closed and demonstrators smashed CCTV cameras and lamps with metal poles and dismantled station turnstiles. Police appeared to be running in all directions and made several arrests outside the station.
