'Triad' attack on Hong Kong protesters sparks anger

13 Sept 15:19 Key points summarised by AI

Suspected triad gangsters violently assaulted pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong, injuring 45 people and escalating the city's political turmoil.
The attacks sparked widespread outrage, with critics accusing police of a delayed response and potential collusion, while pro-democracy lawmakers condemned the "barbaric" acts.
Police defended their actions due to stretched resources but later arrested six men, some with alleged triad connections, as the violence highlighted deep divisions and challenges to Beijing's authority.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
