Hong Kong's embattled leader has used a colonial-era emergency law to ban protesters from wearing face masks after four months of anti-government demonstrations that have, at times, turned violent and put the city on edge.
Restaurants and stores that protestors believed were pro-China were trashed, including Starbucks, because they partnered with local pro-China partner Maxim's. "We are particularly concerned that many students are participating in these violent protests or even riots, jeopardizing their safety and even their future," she added."As a responsible government, we have the duty to use all available means in order to stop the escalating violence and restore calmness in society."
Not a good sign for democracy.
Where is America’s voice calling for support of the protesters who only want freedom?
