they always wear helmets and face to protect themselves because they think that it's almost certain that the police will be dispersed them at the end of the protest this started as a protest against a controversial extradition bill that bill has since been shelved but people still come out every weekend why yes so the fear has been shelved but then the people are actually asking for it to be tentatively strong so there is still one of the reason that people are still out on the street every week 10 but the focus of the protests also shoot very lashley to the police brutality that we were talking about. they actually saying that the government should have an independent investigation the worst is police and the worst what happens in the past few weeks and that actually the police at the protest particularly today it's about some incident that happened

last weekend and so there was an attack by a mall towards indiscriminate towards. the protesters and just normal citizens and the people saying that. the police are actually cooperating with the small saw the police of course they even i disclaimed but this is the general mood of the protesters and they really mistrust of police so they still go on to the protests every weekend what can we expect now do you see an end to this actually just tomorrow there will be yet and not the protests and then they are also planning on protest next week and the return after and. it's really look like it with an end anytime soon unless the government comes out and respond to the requests of the protesters how likely is that. really at the pence on the stay off the protests how. about ups cherry chan thank you very much
