HK TO END YEAR WITH MULTIPLE PROTESTS

HONG KONG: The city will end 2019 with multiple protests planned for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day aimed at disrupting festivities and shopping in the Asian financial hub. Events dubbed “Suck the Eve” and “Shop with you” are scheduled for New Year’s Eve today around the city, according to notices circulated on social media. A New Year’s Day march on Jan 1 has been given police permission and will start from a large park in Causeway Bay, say its organisers, the Civil Human Rights Front. – Reuters
