Hong Kong police slam 'illegal, irrational' HQ protest

Hong Kong police on Saturday slammed anti-government protesters for besieging their headquarters, calling the demonstration "illegal and irrational" as they vowed to pursue the ringleaders.

"Police have shown the greatest tolerance of protesters who assembled outside PHQ (police headquarters) but their means of expressing views has become illegal, irrational and unreasonable," the city's police said in a statement.

"Police will stringently follow up on these illegal activities."
