This is a new mobilization weekend that opens for pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong. Activists will try to gather the crowds after several punch actions at the airport. Seven weeks, which turned into clashes with the police.
It is under the storm and tropical rain that the teachers have started, reports our special correspondent Aabla Jounaïdi . They are headed to the central district where the main administrations are concentrated, starting with the offices of the head of the executive, the unpopular Carrie Lam .
Quietly, without any hitch, the teachers chanted slogans of support to the students - their students - who must manifest them in numbers tomorrow, Sunday. This march tomorrow will brave again the ban by the authorities to march in a context of increasing violence between the police and demonstrators.
Protesters in Hong Kong intend to show that despite the violence that has marked the last marches and the blockage of the international airport this week, they can demonstrate peacefully this Sunday.
However, the protesters who demand the release of their comrades arrested on the sidelines of the movement and political reforms, are not insensitive to the climate of intimidation that has emerged in recent weeks as evidenced by those students met Friday at Chater Park in the city center.
Personally, I'm a little scared because I have a job. I do not want the police to recognize me. That's why I wear a mask!
