Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters rallied in solidarity with China’s Uighurs on Sunday in a move likely to infuriate Beijing as they likened their plight to that of the oppressed Muslim minority. The rally was broken up when riot police swooped in after some protesters removed a Chinese flag from a nearby government building. China has faced international condemnation for rounding up an estimated one million Uighurs and other mostly Muslim ethnic minorities in internment camps in the northwestern region of Xinjiang.
