The hard core of soft terrorism in HK

Demonstrators in Hong Kong assaulted two men from the Chinese mainland at the Hong Kong International Airport late on Tuesday night. The victims had to be taken to the hospital to receive emergency medical treatment.

For hours, the defiant protesters detained and beat up a young man who they claimed was an undercover security officer from the mainland. Initially, they prevented paramedics from taking him away to the hospital even after he lost consciousness.

The demonstrators, as videos online show, tied the other victim, a Global Times reporter, to a luggage trolley and thrashed him after finding a T-shirt in his backpack with the slogan, "I love HK police".
