“The actions of a small number of people who forcibly broke into the building of the Legislative Council do not represent the overwhelming majority of the demonstrators who organized consistent and peaceful protests,” Mogherini said in a statement.
According to her, after such incidents, it is important to "show restraint" and avoid exacerbating the situation, as well as to conduct dialogue and consultation to resolve the situation.
Earlier, a crowd of protesters broke into the legislative chamber of Hong Kong after many hours of protest near the building. The rioters smashed the glass elements of the building and began to tear off the metal trim elements.
British Foreign Office supported the right of Hong Kong residents to protest.
The unrest is taking place against the backdrop of demands not to adopt amendments to the law on extradition, which will allow the transfer of criminals and suspects to the mainland of China in the event of a request.
