| Description | Hong Kong is the scene of more violence as demonstrations enter their sixth month.
Hong Kong's embattled leader has said the violence has far exceeded the call for democracy and that demonstrators are now the "people's enemy".
Speaking on Monday, Carrie Lam said "rioters" were "relentlessly destroying society", adding that the former British colony had been put under strain because of extensive violence.
She said she wanted to tell protesters they "will not succeed in securing their demands", and appealed to everyone in the city to "stay calm" and refrain from taking part in any illegal activities as protesters took to the streets on Monday in an unusual week-day rally.
She spoke hours after a protester was shot by police and a man was set on fire as violence continues to escalate in Hong Kong.
Several injuries were also reported after a policeman appeared to deliberately ram his motorbike into a crowd of people during a citywide protest on Monday. |
