HONG KONG-CHINA-POLITICS-DEMOCRACY

Police officers stand guard next to a major road they had cleared of barricades built by pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong on October 14, 2014. Hong Kong has been plunged into the worst political crisis since its 1997 handover as pro-democracy activists take over the streets following China’s refusal to grant citizens full universal suffrage.
