As the police van passed, the rally of school students hissed and booed. Among the crowd of neatly uniformed children were frontline protesters who had spent their summers in close range of the rubber bullets and tear gas of Hong Kong police.
Ezoe and Brittany, 15, at a student strike in Hong Kong, wear eye patches to remember a woman who was hit in the eye by what was believed to be a police bean bag round. They say they are protesting because they"love Hong Kong".Riot police had earlier searched children who donned masks and hard hats to protest outside school gates on Monday morning as secondary school and university students embarked on a strike on the first day of class.
Education minister Kevin Yeung said the police presence was not “white terror” - a term used in Hong Kong to refer to a growing crackdown by police - and that they were there to ensure public safety. On Monday the High Court ruled that an electoral officer was technically wrong to disqualify Ms Chow from standing for the Hong Kong Island by-election because he believed she wouldn’t pledge allegiance to Hong Kong.
Chinese state media has demonised Chow and on Saturday criticised Hong Kong judges for allowing Chow and Joshua Wong to be released on bail after their arrest.
