The Face of Confrontation

The pictures in this report bring some of the facts of Hong Kong's months of confrontation into focus. They give some idea of the problems faced by the police who displayed great discipline and tolerance throughout and who dealt with the early disturbances with the minimum of force. They show too, moments of human kindness in the midst of violence. Most pictures in this booklet were taken by photog- raphers of the Colony's newspapers.

Here, a police cordon quietly stands its ground against a barrage of heckling and abuse.
