Police Use Tear Gas To Dispel Protestors

Hong Kong upholds ban on National Day march after violence

In Hong Kong, authorities
have rejected an appeal for a
major pro-democracy march
tomorrow on National Day
holiday, after two straight
days of protest-related
violence in the Special Administrative
Region of China

The Civil Human Rights Front
says the appeals board today
upheld a police ban on the
march. The group warns, the
ban could accelerate violence
because citizens will turn up
anyway, as they have done in
past instances of police
bans
