Peaceful Hong Kong march marred by fire outside court sabcnews

The comments came as protesters called for strikes across the city on Monday. During the early morning rush hour most railway and transport links were running smoothly and there were no initial reports of widespread disruptions.

While the march appeared to be largely peaceful – in marked contrast to other mass demonstrations over the last six months, where protesters fought pitched battles with police – authorities said there was some damage after it ended. “Some rioters spray-painted the exterior walls of the High Court, threw petrol bombs and set fire outside the High Court and the Court of Final Appeal, damaging government properties and seriously challenging the spirit of the rule of law,” police said, adding that shops and banks were vandalized in the Causeway Bay and Wan Chai areas.

“Many residents in Hong Kong are fed up with the violence and disruption that have plagued the city for months. The record turnout for the district council elections showed they want to express their views peacefully,” said the newspaper, often used by Beijing to put its message out to the world.
