reaction while in custody. hong kong has saying. say more violence today as police crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators defying an official ban to blockade the city center police fired tear gas and rubber bullets as the protesters neared the chinese government's office in downtown hong kong last night dozens were arrested and many more injured in march as part of a weeks long campaign demanding greater democracy in hong kong and autonomy from mainland china. after saturday's clashes protesters took to the streets of hong kong again this time to demonstrate against the police's use of tear gas. i think we need to have a protest choose so that we are strongly against these condos with knowledge of what we need them to risk respond to our. response to moms leading democracy activist joshua long told d. w. the protests have now gone beyond opposition to the controversial extradition bill
12:09 am
that sparked them now it's the summer off this content to a beijing and hong kong government last week we experienced pro beijing gangs and mobs attack ordinary citizen yesterday we experienced whole riot police beaten on his fro protester in sight railway station know what the probation gangs of all is for serving the interests of beijing they are just. hoping to silence the voices of hong kong people. the demonstrations began peacefully with anger against the police only adding to the litany of complaints against hong kong government. people at 50 . are really on happy with what has been happening in the last week they are unhappy with the with the police's response they i think they want an investigation and were released actually now i can smell the tear gas. with author and he's
12:10 am
unwilling to show restraint protesters now fear that hong kong's freedoms are at stake as beijing exits ever more influence over the territory but protesters are unbound. calls for democracy will never stop we will continue our fight a fight that looks set to go on with neither side willing to back down. well for more on this i'm joined now by dayton we reported cherry chanche cherry we've been seeing an increasing degree of violence up from both sides in these protests from the police and also more radicalization from the protest as what do you see this going yes we can see at the top. between the police and the protesters this really rising now the protesters almost see the police as their enemy so you can see that the police is using way more false. rubber bullets is like unarmed. in every demonstration in hong kong but on the poster society you also see
12:11 am
they're hearing they become more defensive and sometimes they would even throw things at the police just the things that they pick up on the ground and sometimes they would even pick up the tear gas as fired by the police and throw them back at the police so you can really see that the confrontation this getting ready aggressive here ramping up quite a bit one of the key figures joshua was one of the protest key figures told d.w. today that the calls for democracy will never stop what exactly is the movement's end game here so we can see that now the protests is way more than just the square of the extradition now they have the protesters have way more demands for example they want the resignation of the chief executive kerry they also want an independent inquiry into the use of force by the police and ultimately like what joshua long said they really asked for food democracy universal suffrage and then what about beijing i mean i'm sure beijing is not liking this at all how long do
12:12 am
you think it's going to be until the chinese government comes in and says we're going to take a more active role in that is actually today beijing's top body in hong kong they just said they will need to press tomorrow to respond to all these protests in the past 2 months it is expected that beijing will take a really tough stance against these protesters they were framed as very violent and unlawful demonstrations but. a lot of people in hong kong also hear rumors that if the protesters do don't stop in the coming future it's very likely that the beijing would even send me to hong kong to stop these. people from all sides. as a society joining in these protests right yeah actually just today we hear that. they would launch a rally next week. basically bear false and so we can't even hear a very strong voice from inside the government so this is really significant terry
