- Story Text: Hong Kong protesters on Sunday (September 29) threw petrol bombs and dodged tear gas as thousands took to the streets to continue their protest.
The protest on Sunday followed after another night of violent clashes with police after weeks of pro-democracy unrest in the Chinese-ruled city. Protests were sparked in June by planned legislation, since withdrawn, that would have allowed the extradition of suspected criminals to mainland China. But they have since expanded into a broader pro-democracy movement.
More protests are planned in the run up to China's the October 1 National Day, marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of People's Republic.
