Intensive security, more police deployed to prevent blockade of Hong Kong airport

Hong Kong, Ta. September 7, 2019, Saturday

Despite the government's relief, the Hong Kong government has increased security in and around the airport so that pro-democracy activists will not obstruct the airport for the second consecutive week.

To rid the agitators, the horse rider police closed the roads and speeded up the pedestrians as well as checking the luggage of the bus and train passengers on the way to the airport.

According to a reporter's report, he was caught handcuffed by passengers at least two buses at the airport receiving face masks.

The express train to the airport was confined to the main area of ​​the city and did not stop at the intermediate stations. Those who were seen moving around the bus stand were removed.

However, in the Tung Chung area near the airport, hundreds of agitators gathered near a subway wearing mask. The police were allowed to go to the terminal only for those who had air tickets, and those who were stranded there were dismayed.

During the three months of agitation, the agitators were shouting slogans and calling the police as killers.

Shops, stations and roads were closed in the city as people became increasingly violent. The protesters marched through the streets, but they were dispersed by the police. The Hong Kong airport, ranked eighth in the busiest airport in the world, was targeted by protesters several times.

The pro-democracy people are protesting the Hong Kong government's decision to send them to China to prosecute criminals. Ever since the British returned to Hong Kong China in 1997, this law has been viewed by many as a conspiracy to revoke China's Hong Kong autonomy.

Hong Kong Leader Kerry Lam announced on Wednesday that his government would withdraw the law, but protesters continued their fight to meet their goals to accommodate other issues.
