Hong Kong’s decision to charge dozens of protesters with a colonial-era rioting charge that carries a 10-year prison term suggested that the government was heeding calls for a tougher response to the unrest.
The arrests of 49 people -- including 44 on the rioting charge -- drew outrage from pro-democracy groups and spurred hundreds of demonstrators to surround a police station Tuesday night calling for the suspects’ release. The chaotic scene raised fears of escalating violence after demonstrators scuffled with riot police and six protesters were injured outside another police station by fireworks fired from a passing car.
