Tear gas used against Hong Kong protesters

Police clash with pro-democracy demonstators as city's leader says government to hold consultations on electoral reform.

Hong Kong police have used tear gas to disperse protesters, just after the city's leader announced that his government will launch a new round of consultations on electoral reform shortly.
Tens of thousands of protesters had massed on major city centre highways on Sunday after a weekend of violent clashes between police and pro-democracy activists calling for greater freedoms.
The use of tear gas - extremely rare in Hong Kong - came after repeated pepper spray charges by helmeted police had failed to clear Harcourt Road in the Admiralty district, sparking warnings that greater force would be used.

Addressing a news conference, Leung Chun-ying, Hong Kong's chief executive, said his administration was "resolute in opposing the unlawful occupation actions by Occupy Central", branding its activities illegal as they were designed to paralyse the city's financial district, known as Central.
Leung reassured the public that rumours the Chinese army might intervene were untrue.
"I hope the public will keep calm. Don't be misled by the rumours. Police will strive to maintain social order, including ensuring smooth traffic and ensuring the public safety," Leung said.
He added, "When they carry out their duties, they will use their maximum discretion".

Ersal, Lebanon - To Kasem al-Zein, last Thursday was one of his worst days on the job.
Amid a Lebanese army raid on Sept. 25, the 50-year-old former field doctor with the Free Syrian Army (FSA), who now runs a hospital in Arsal, recalled chaos inside local tent villages housing throngs of Syrian refugees. Tents were invaded and in some cases set ablaze; al-Zein said he treated several patients suffering from smoke inhalation and a young girl with third-degree burns on her leg. By the time troops left, hundreds of males, including children as young as 13, had been rounded up and taken away for questioning.
"The situation was very bad," al-Zein told Al Jazeera. "The refugees think the raids are unjust because they haven't done anything wrong."
