“Police have previously denied permission for rallies to take place, but the orders have largely been ignored.” HongKong Police China
This screen grab taken from video released on August 29, 2019 from China’s state-run CCTV shows armoured personnel carriers and trucks carrying People’s Liberation Army troops for the Hong Kong Garrison arriving in Hong Kong during a routine rotation of personnel. – China’s military on August 29 said fresh troops had arrived in Hong Kong as part of a routine “rotation”, as the financial hub prepares for more political rallies against Beijing’s tightening grip on the city.
Chinese state media on Thursday broadcast a video of armoured personnel carriers and trucks driving across the Hong Kong border, describing it as a routine rotation of the garrison stationed in the semi-autonomous city. The rotation came less than 24 hours after police denied permission for a new mass rally planned for Saturday that was expected to draw hundreds of thousands of people to the streets — the 13th consecutive week of protests.
Protesters have so far carried out “arson and large scale road blockades” and “used petrol bombs, steel balls, bricks, long spears, metal poles, as well as various self-made weapons to destroy public property”, the letter said of previous rallies. “You can see the police’s course of action is intensifying, and you can see Carrie Lam has, in fact, no intention to let Hong Kong return to peace,” he said.
Despite being banned by police from leaving the area, they later marched peacefully through the streets in one of the first recent protest gatherings to end without major incident.
