Hong Kong police fire tear gas to disperse protesters in fresh wave of clashes

Hong Kong police fired tear gas to disperse protesters late on Sunday in the latest wave of violence to roil the financial centre, hours after a largely peaceful rally against a now-suspended extradition bill that has plunged the city into chaos.

Thousands of protesters descended on China's representative office in Hong Kong, as anger over the extradition bill morphs into a fresh front against what many see as a broader erosion of freedoms by the city's political masters in Beijing.
