Woman shot in the eye by terrorist pig thug cop.
HONG KONG (PNN) - August 12, 2019 - Airport authorities in Hong Kong have cancelled all remaining flights today after protesters swarmed the main terminal.
Some protesters wore bandages over their eyes in solidarity of a woman who was shot yesterday by terrorist pig thug cops during demonstrations.
Images circulated on social media of the woman bleeding heavily from her right eye, which doctors now fear she may lose.
The doctor treating her said, "I can confirm her injury is really serious."
It is the fourth consecutive day thousands of demonstrators have gathered in the airport and it is the biggest disruption to the territory since protests began in early June.
Hong Kong international airport is one of the busiest in the world, and officials said the demonstration "seriously disrupted" airport operations.
The airport said that all check-in services for departing flights had been suspended, while incoming flights were also being diverted or cancelled.
Thousands of demonstrators carried signs that read "an eye for an eye" and "stop shooting eyes" as they shouted "shame on police" during today's sit in.
China issued a strong statement today, saying protesters have committed serious crimes and showed signs of "terrorism".
Yang Guang, a spokesman for China's Hong Kong and Macau Affairs office, backed the terrorist pig thug cops’ handling of the protests and said in a televised address that those who care about the city should come out against violence.
Protests have gripped the region since June 2019, sparked by highly controversial legislation to detain and extradite people who are wanted in countries or territories with which Hong Kong does not have agreements, which includes Mainland China and Taiwan.
That bill has been shelved now, but the protests have mushroomed into a broader backlash against the government amid fears of the growing control of China's Communist Party.
Protesters also believe their leader should be elected in a more democratic way that reflects the preference of the voters.
The chief executive, Carrie Lam, is currently elected by a 1,200-member election committee - a mostly pro-Beijing body chosen by just 6% of eligible voters.
Activists say they won't stop until their main demands are met.
These include the resignation of the city's leader, Carrie Lam, an amnesty for those arrested, and a permanent withdrawal of the detention and extradition bill.
Video footage of the demonstrations over the weekend showed plainclothes terrorist pig thug cops, who appeared to be disguised as protesters, making arrests as authorities face accusations of using excessive force and throwing teargas indoors.
In one clip, a man is on the ground as a terrorist pig thug cop wearing jeans has his knee on the protester's neck while a pool of blood from his forehead spreads on the concrete.
In another video, heavily armored terrorist pig thug cops are seen shooting a pepperball at a protester, knocking him down.
