TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)-Protesters, some of them waving US flags, started the rally from Victoria Park in the Causeway Bay district — usually packed with tourists and shoppers — and were scheduled to finally gather in the commercial heart of the international financial hub on Wednesday.
The rally had received police approval in advance.
Clashes, however, erupted between police and protesters mid-way during the rally, after masked protesters hurled petrol bombs at officers.
