Hong Kong Protesters Vandalize Subway Station, Storm Mall

Suzanne Sataline

   Protesters in Hong Kong, angry over the death of a demonstrator on
   Friday, smashed windows at a subway station and shopping mall Sunday.

   The Associated Press reported that several people were arrested and
   that police fired tear gas as occasional scuffles broke out between
   police and demonstrators.

   Student died days after fall

   Candlelight and prayer vigils continued throughout the city Saturday to
   mourn the death of 22-year-old Chow Tsz-lok, a student at Hong Kong
   University of Science and Technology, who died in a Kowloon hospital
   Friday, four days after he fell one story in a parking garage in the
   Kowloon district.

   Police had been trying to clear protesters from the area and fired
   several rounds of tear gas. Chow is believed to be the first person to
   die from injuries sustained during five months of clashes with police
   as protesters demand a democratic government and revamped policing.
