Hong Kong police arrest seven over stabbing of officer during protest

13 Sept 16:19 Key points summarised by AI

Hong Kong police arrested seven individuals for "assisting" a man suspected of stabbing an officer during a July 1 protest against the new national security law.
The suspects, aged 24-71, are accused of helping the alleged stabber with an air ticket and airport transport, facing up to 10 years in prison.
The stabbing occurred during a protest against China's new national security law, which punishes crimes like secession and subversion with severe penalties, including life imprisonment.
The primary suspect, a 24-year-old man, was arrested at the airport on July 2, following the incident where police reported an officer was stabbed by "rioters."

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.
