Hong Kong protesters to defy police ban on march after gang attack
Demonstration ‘must go on’ in area where commuters were beaten with iron rods
Demonstrators in Hong Kong have vowed to march despite a police ban to condemn an attack by suspected gangs on commuters earlier this week.
On Thursday, police rejected an application by protesters to hold a rally in Yuen Long, in north-west Hong Kong, where dozens of masked men beat commuters on Sunday with rattan and iron rods.
