But protesters have remained unyielding, vowing to hold multiple occupations and rallies into next week, sending tensions soaring once more.On Saturday evening, hundreds of masked protesters put up makeshift barricades across multiple roads in Tsim Sha Tsui, a popular shopping and tourist district on the harbourfront.They also blocked one of the three cross-harbour tunnels connecting to the main island, causing widespread traffic chaos.
Protesters stand in front of a bus in the shopping district of Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong on Aug 3, 2019. Protesters gather on the road leading to the Cross Harbour Tunnel after blocking it in Hong Kong on Aug 3, 2019. Public anger has been compounded by rising inequality and the perception that the city's distinct language and culture are being threatened by ever-closer integration with the Chinese mainland.
Protesters are demanding her resignation, an independent inquiry into police tactics, an amnesty for those arrested, a permanent withdrawal of the bill, and the right to elect their leaders.
