Hong Kong police tear gas protesters near Beijing liaison office: TV

HONG KONG, July 28, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong police fired tear gas
Sunday at protesters close to Beijing’s liaison office in the financial hub,
the latest clashes in a city gripped by weeks of political unrest.

Television images showed riot police launching multiple volleys of tear
gas at protesters who had set up barricades close to the Liaison Office of
the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region, which was pelted with eggs and paint a week ago.
