AFP, Hong Kong :
Hong Kong’s leader Tuesday warned against fresh pro-democracy protests ahead of the next step in the city’s contentious political reform process, as a new official report on the mass rallies sparked widespread anger.
The government will Wednesday launch a second round of public consultation on the process for electing the city’s next chief executive.
China has pledged that Hong Kong will be able to choose its own leader for the first time in 2017.
But it ruled in August that candidates will be screened by a loyalist committee-a decision that sparked more than two months of large-scale pro-democracy protests.
