Shocking CCTV footage has captured senior Chinese diplomats dragging a protester into their UK consulate and assaulting him.
The UK’s foreign office on Tuesday summoned a top Chinese diplomat in London over footage of a Hong Kong pro-democracy protester being assaulted in the grounds of a Chinese consulate in Britain.
China’s Charge d’Affaires Yang Xiaoguang was summoned after Beijing earlier Tuesday accused demonstrators of “illegally entering” the consulate in the northern British city of Manchester.
British police have said a group of men came out of the consulate during a peaceful demonstration on Sunday afternoon, dragging one of the protesters inside the grounds and assaulting him.
