Two leaders of the Hong Kong protest movement were attacked by thugs armed with a baseball bat and metal rods in two separate incidents on Aug. 29, as the city heads into its fourth month of mass demonstrations against Beijing’s growing interference.
Jimmy Sham, convenor of the Civil Human Rights Front, the group behind multiple mass protests in Hong Kong, and Max Chung, the organizer of a demonstration in July in opposition to alleged gang violence against protesters, were each targeted by armed aggressors as they went about their business in different parts of the city.
