Incident at Sha Tau Kok on 8 July.

From 0930 on 8 July demonstrators

began to gather in the frontier area on

Chinese territory. During the next hour other

groups began to gather near the border and

anti-British propaganda was broadcast over

loudspeakers. At about 1100 hours the crowd

converged on the Sha Tau Kok police post in British Territory (B.T.) about 50 yards from

the border, and a group of 3-400, apparently

controlled and well organised, surrounded the police post and threw home-made bombs, normally used for illegal fishing, over the perimeter fence.
