Hong Kong police clash with protesters after a rare rally dedicated to China's Uighur Muslims descends into chaos
Hong Kong protesters rally in support of China's Uighurs' human rights in Hong Kong, China, on December 22, 2019.
Organisers stopped the flag being burned but riot police then swooped in with pepper spray, sparking anger from the crowd who threw water bottles. Pro-Uighur chants and flags have become commonplace in Hong Kong's marches but Sunday's rally was the first to be specifically dedicated to Uighurs. "In Xinjiang, they are doing what they are doing because they have the power to do so. When they take over Hong Kong they will do the same," she added.China rolled out a sweeping crackdown on Uighurs and other Muslim minorities after a series of deadly attacks by militants.
