Christmas Day in Hong Kong has seen no let-up in clashes between police and pro-democracy protesters.
The police used tear ·¹Çø®Ä«½Ã°è»çÀÌÆ®=·¹Çø®Ä«½Ã°è»çÀÌÆ® gas and pepper spray as demonstrators gathered again in a number of shopping districts.
The latest protests began on ½ºÅÚ¶ó¸ÆÄ«Æ®´Ï=½ºÅÚ¶ó¸ÆÄ«Æ®´Ï¿©¼ºÀÇ·ù Christmas Eve, with police battling activists who were throwing petrol bombs.
Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said many residents and tourists had seen their Christmas celebrations "ruined by a group of reckless and selfish rioters".
"Such illegal acts have not Çö´ëÅ¥¹Ö Å¥¹ÖS PLUS Ä«¿îÅÍ=Çö´ëÅ¥¹Ö Å¥¹ÖS PLUS Ä«¿îÅÍ ³Ã¿ÂÁ¤¼ö±â·»Å» ½Ç¹öÈıâ only dampened the festive mood but also adversely affected local businesses," she said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.
The protests began in June, focusing on a bill that would have allowed the extradition of suspects to mainland ÀÌÅ¿øºÎµ¿»ê China.
The bill was later withdrawn, but demonstrations have since evolved into a broader movement demanding investigations into police brutality and democratic reform.
