Police fired tear gas Sunday inside a train station and in several other Hong Kong neighbourhoods where protesters occupied roads in another weekend of anti-government demonstrations.

Protesters hurled bricks at officers and ignored warnings to leave before tear gas was deployed in the Sham Shui Po area, police said, calling a march there an "unauthorised assembly."
"China is doing more and more to pressure Hong Kong, its people and its organisations."
Newly pasted red banners around the neighbourhood declared, "Protect Hong Kong; Fujianese people rise up to defend the homeland."
