Army deployed in Ecuador as protests descend into violence
Demonstrators in capital Quito attack television station and national government buildings

President Len�n Moreno ordered the army on to the streets of Ecuador�s capital Quito after a week and a half of protests over fuel prices devolved into violent incidents, with masked protesters attacking a television station, newspaper and the national auditor�s office.

Moreno said the military enforced curfew would begin at 3pm local time in response to violence in areas previously untouched by the protests. Masked protesters broke into the national auditor�s office and set it ablaze, sending black smoke billowing across the central Quito park and cultural complex that have been the epicentre of the protests.

Later, several dozen masked men swarmed the offices of the private Teleamazonas television station, set fires on the grounds and tried to break into the building where about 20 employees were trapped.

Hong Kong protesters defy ban on masks as they clash with police
Petrol bomb thrown at metro station and government offices vandalised as unrest continues
Anti-government protesters wear masks bearing the image of the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, in Hong Kong

Thousands of protesters are continuing to defy a ban on wearing masks in Hong Kong as clashes have again taken place between demonstrators and authorities.

A petrol bomb was thrown at the gate of a metro station, and two government offices and a cafe were vandalised, although the mood on Saturday was less tense than at recent protests because police had not used teargas.

i support masked protesters burning private media, which is used to misinform the masses, and oppose masked protesters burning public transit, a vital service for the working class.
