In response to the public procession today (July 14), a Government spokesperson said that after the peaceful and orderly protest this afternoon, some protesters deliberately blocked some roads, violently assaulted police officers and caused a breach of the peace. The Government strongly condemns these illegal acts.

     The rule of law is the cornerstone of Hong Kong, and the society will absolutely not tolerate such violent acts.
