HONG KONG - Hong Kong authorities granted protesters permission to march this weekend, organizers said on Thursday, giving the green light to a rally seen as a gauge of the pro-democracy movement’s support following its sweeping victory in local elections.
During the past six months of increasingly violent anti-Beijing demonstrations, authorities had denied requests from the group to hold rallies. Some calm has descended since the Nov.24 district elections, when pro-democracy candidates won nearly 90% of the seats. An officer shot Tsang in the chest with a live round. Police said the officer involved was under serious threat and acted in self-defense.
Tang will pay a “courtesy visit” to Beijing, where he will call on the Ministry of Public Security, meet with counterparts and discuss the security situation, the Hong Kong government said in a statement.Tang took office in November with a warning that “fake news” was undermining the reputation of his police force.
