The Hong Kong government has sought to silence disturbing rumours that at least three people were beaten to death in protests.

The government released a statement, denying the rumours and calling them “irresponsible”.

“It is deeply regrettable that such an irresponsible rumour keeps spreading with the ill-intent to mislead members of the public, and to sow division and discontent in society at a time when the government is sincerely trying to establish a dialogue platform,” it said.

The rumours surfaced online after anti-government protesters clashed with riot police during last weekend’s round of protests.

Footage of these protests went viral after police stormed a train and were seen beating protesters and spraying them with tear gas as they begged them to stop.
