Feature: the mini brick-Stonehenges on HK streets

For months, anti-government protesters have been using whatever they can get their hands on to block roads across Hong Kong – rubbish bins, street signs, metal barriers, and bricks they prise from sidewalks.



Usually, protesters would just litter the streets with the debris in a haphazard manner to try to stop traffic and slow down police advances.



But increasingly, they’ve been placing bricks into peculiar little formations – two bricks placed vertically, and one horizontally across – in what many have described as Stonehenge-like structures.



RTHK’s Wong Yin-ting and Darren Leung went around Baptist University in Kowloon Tong when the streets were blockaded last week, to find out from the protesters why they were doing this.
