Hong Kong is in the sixth month of unrest that began over a proposed extradition law but pro-democracy protesters show no signs of backing down.

Though the vigil ended peacefully, many attendees called for revenge after the student's death from injuries sustained during a protest.

Seven pro-democracy city politicians have been detained or face arrest and are due to appear in court on Monday on charges of obstructing a May meeting of the local assembly, police and several of the politicians said. "We believe that the government together with the police, as well as the pro-establishment camp, they are trying to escalate the anger of Hong Kong people in order to cancel or even to postpone the upcoming district council election," Tanya Chan, a pro-democracy politicians, told reporters on Saturday.

One of the arrested politicians, Gary Fan, said the detentions were the result of"political prosecutions and judicial crackdowns" by Hong Kong chief executive Carrie Lam.Protesters have also called for a general strike on Monday and for people to block public transport, although such calls in the past have often come to nothing.

Protesters have thrown petrol bombs and rocks at police who have responded with tear gas, pepper spray, water cannon, rubber bullets and several rounds of live ammunition. They deny using excessive force.
