| Amnesty International on Friday warned Hong Kong police against "excessive force" ahead of a planned rally by pro-democracy demonstrators, following scuffles as a major protest site was cleared earlier this week.
Police sprayed "pepper water" at crowds as they tore down tents and barricades in the busy commercial neighbourhood of Mongkok -- home to one of three protest camps blocking major junctions in the semi-autonomous Chinese city -- and made more than 140 arrests.
Amnesty said the two-day operation had seen "unjustifiable force against protesters, bystanders and journalists".
"The heavy-handed approach by police violates the protesters' rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, and risks exacerbating an already tense situation," said Mabel Au, director of Amnesty International Hong Kong.
