Thousands of protesters in Hong Kong have taken to the streets despite a police ban.
Demonstrators marched through Yuen Long, a northern town where pro-democracy protesters were attacked by armed masked men last week.
Protesters had accused the police of turning a blind eye, and colluding with the attackers - claims the police deny.
Hong Kong has seen several weeks of protests, sparked by a row over a controversial extradition bill.
In a highly unusual move, Hong Kong police had banned Saturday's march - saying they feared there would be violence.
Despite this, several thousand protesters still converged in Yuen Long, chanting anti-police slogans.
Riot police were also present, and police officers could be seen filming the protesters as the march began.
The rally is a response to last Sunday's attack, where about 100 men in white T-shirts descended on Yuen Long's metro station, beating protesters - as well as passersby and journalists - with wooden and metal sticks.
A large group of masked men in white T-shirts stormed Yuen Long station
Forty-five people were injured in the attack, which was widely blamed on triad gang members.
Protesters said the police were slow to respond to emergency calls - and only appeared at the station after the attackers had left.
Police say their forces were stretched during another day of unrest, and said suggestions that they had colluded with criminal gangs was a "smear".
Police say 12 people have so far been arrested over Sunday's attack, including nine men with links to triads, reports say.

Always been a mystery to me why it's so easy to make most sheep worry about things they'll probably never have interaction with. The common reply I get is we have a duty to make the world a better place. Etc etc. That's all fine but when it's the very same Media diverting your attention to other matters, same media you whine about all day, then buy their crap to make noise, I just don't get it.
Pretty sure the next news item about London and people will be on about how BBC isn't reporting the truth. Yet what they say abt Hong Kong should be true. |

Beijing worried about contagion may give up on Hong Kong ! |

By:
If China give up on Hong Kong this may encourage others who want a break with China?????
Not that I am personally against it. Yes Hong Kong did enjoy a freedom not permitted in the rest of China while under British Rule. But legally it is part of China I would hope China can come up with some sort of compromise here. I do not know what. |
