More Hong Kong protests planned as MTR limps back to business

Protest violence has often targeted the MTR, which is blamed for closing stations at the government's behest to stop demonstrators gathering.A protester walks past a burning barrier outside Mong Kok MTR station during a demonstration in Hong Kong on Oct 6, 2019.
