Protesters set fires in HK's Wong Tai Sin district

(4 Oct 2019) Firefighters fought to extinguish a blaze in the Won Tai Sin area of Hong Kong in the early hours of Saturday, as protests continued through the night. The rallies spread to many areas as protesters vowed they wouldn't be cowed after the city's embattled leader invoked rarely used emergency powers to ban masks at rallies in a hardening of her stance after four months of anti-government demonstrations. Some set fires, blocked traffic with road barriers, smashed up shops and vandalised subway stations. The movement has snowballed into an anti-China campaign amid anger over what many view as Beijing's interference in Hong Kong's autonomy. More than 2,100 people have been detained so far, including 204 charged with rioting, which carries a penalty of up to a decade in prison.
