Protesters in Hong Kong forced their way into the city’s main legislative building on Monday, the 22nd anniversary of the former British colony’s return to China. Hundreds of protesters had surrounded the government complex at midday Monday. By night, they had broken glass and metal barriers and entered. The protesters tore down pictures of legislative leaders and painted pro-democracy messages on the walls. They also reportedly destroyed things inside and raised the former British colonial flag. Police with riot protection equipment fired tear gas to clear surrounding streets. They then moved into legislative rooms, but protesters had already fled. A spokesman had earlier broadcast a warning that appropriate force would be used in the clearance operation. The protesters were in the legislative building for about three hours.
