Hong Kong police on Monday said no arrests were made during protests over the weekend.
“If the protests are peaceful, rational and orderly, the police will not and have no reason to intervene,” Tse Chun-chung, chief superintendent of the Hong Kong Police Public Relations Branch, told a press conference.
Tse said the police had appealed to the public to reject all forms of violence and revert to peaceful and orderly expression of speech as “violence is never a solution.”
Police said the gathering was generally peaceful though public order breaches happened afterward.
