民主派デモが続く香港で１９日未明、一部のデモ隊が中心部の金鐘地区にある立法会（議会）に侵入した。制圧に乗り出した警察とデモ隊の間で衝突も発生し、警官３人が負傷、４人の逮捕者が出た。
香港当局は前日、同地区で民主派が設置していたバリケードの撤去を開始していた。
デモ隊が主要な政府庁舎に侵入するのは初めてで、大規模デモが徐々に鎮静化していくとの政治アナリストらの見方に反し、事態は悪化した格好だ。
目撃者によると、少数のデモ隊が鉄柵などで議会入口のガラス扉を破壊し、一部が建物に侵入。警官隊が催涙スプレーや警棒を使って制圧した。
現場にいた民主派議員は、他のデモ隊とともに、一部のこうした過激な行動を制止しようと試みたと証言した。［香港 １９日 ロイター］
