Today, the general strike against the Hong Kong criminal Indian Act involves more than 20 employees.

At least 14,000 people, including civil servants and financial leaders who held rallies last week, social workers, teachers, and flight crews are on strike.

Traders close the store door and students join in the way they are closed.

Along with a general strike, concerts are held in eight locations including Hong Kong Admiralty, Mongkok, and Disneyland.

A large-scale demonstration was held for two consecutive days last weekend ahead of the general strike, and there were clashes with police everywhere.

In the protest where 120,000 people participated in the demonstration on March 3, some protesters fired in front of the police station and dragged the Chinese five-star Hong Kong from the hoist of Victoria Harbor to the sea.

Yesterday some protesters flocked to the police station and threw rocks, and a water cannon was placed outside the central government building in Hong Kong.

Police arrested more than 20 people in the protest on Monday, including one Korean man in his 20s living in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong police are investigating whether the man simply watched the demonstrations and actively participated in the demonstrations.
