2007 Macau labour protest

On May 1, 2007, about 2,400 demonstrators turned out to decry official corruption and rail against illegal immigrants working in Macau's construction industry.

Local television stations showed police beating back protesters with batons and dragging away a number of them.

[3] HK politician Leung Kwok-hung staged a protest in Macau Friday calling on Ho to punish the police officer who opened fire.

Leung, accompanied by four members of the April Fifth Action group, marched from the Macau-Hong Kong Ferry Terminal to the Macau government headquarters at Avenida da Praia Grande.

[5] He and other Macau labor union representatives read out a statement asking the government to apologize for the incident and review its handling of protests.
