Arrests in Hong Kong raise fears of more violent protests

A Hong Kong pro-democracy lawmaker expressed fears Thursday that the situation could worsen after police announced the arrests of more than a dozen people following protests earlier this week. Legislative Council member Claudia Mo called on people to understand the frustration and anger of the mostly youthful protesters, even if they have technically broken the law. "I am terribly worried that a massive kind of round-up of protesters could trigger very negative sentiment on the part of the young," she told reporters.
