Protesters sing and light up their mobile phones as they attend a rally in a shopping mall in Sha Tin district in Hong Kong on September 7, 2019. Riot police fanned out across Hong Kong on September 7 in a bid to thwart plans by pro-democracy protesters to target the airport in the movement’s first mass mobilisation since the city’s leader made a surprise concession earlier this week.
The withdrawal was one of the protesters’ key demands and both she and Beijing had previously refused to budge on the issue. But a large deployment of police at key bus, ferry and rail terminals across the city appeared to deter protesters from arriving en masse. But the tactic is controversial because of the travel misery it causes — and the fact that the target is not the state but ordinary people.
