HONG KONG – Protesters set fire outside court buildings, threw petrol bombs and spray-painted graffiti on government buildings, marring what was otherwise a “generally peaceful” march over the weekend, police said.
“Although the event was generally peaceful, acts of breaching public peace happened afterwards,” the police added on Monday.
