Hong Kong's Legislative Council's (LegCo) Security Panel Tuesday passed a motion for the condemnation against Mong Kok riot.

The motion was initiated by LegCo member Elizabeth Quat, suggesting strong condemnation against rioters who attacked law enforcers and journalists violently, and that rioters should be dealt with according to law.

The motion also suggested an increase in manpower and equipment for the police, who should be given full support to enforce law and to bring rioters to justice.

The Mong Kok riot happened from Feb. 8 to Feb. 9 late at night, leaving more than 100 people injured, of whom more than 90 were police officers.

As of Tuesday, the police have arrested more than 60 suspects.
