Hong Kong Protesters Occupy Shopping Malls on Christmas
-------------------------------------------------------

In Hong Kong, protesters poured into the streets on Christmas Eve and
Christmas Day, occupying shopping malls and clashing with police amid
the ongoing pro-democracy uprising against Chinese control of the
semi-autonomous territory. Police attacked the protesters with tear gas,
pepper spray, water cannons and batons. This is one of the protesters.

Protester: "We are here not to destroy anything, but we are trying to
let everyone to know that we won't celebrate Christmas, because we want
to protest even on this joyful day."
