HONG KONG—Hundreds of protesters gathered in Hong Kong shopping malls on Oct. 7 demanding “freedom” ahead of expected new protests after overnight turmoil in the Asian financial hub brought a warning from the last British governor that people could be killed.
Protesters formed large circles inside multi-level shopping malls and chanted “disband Hong Kong police force,” “fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong” and “I have the right to wear a mask,” as shoppers on a public holiday looked on.
