Protests expected at Hong Kong malls a week after violent clash

Sunday, 10 November 2019 10:06

Hong Kong protesters are planning to hold rallies across major shopping malls on Sunday as the pro-democracy movement refuses to die down.

Thousands gathered on Saturday night at a vigil for "martyrs", following a student's death from injuries sustained during a protest.

Although peaceful, many protesters were seen calling for revenge.

Protesters have also called for a general strike on Monday and urged people to block public transport.

It comes nearly a week after a knife attack at a shopping mall.
