The European Union said on Wednesday the Hong Kong government must respect citizens' rights while all sides should exercise restraint after violent protests against plans to allow extradition to mainland China.

"Over the past days, the people of Hong Kong have exercised their fundamental right to assemble and express themselves freely and peacefully. These rights need to be respected," a statement issued by the EU's external affairs arm said.

"Restraint should be exercised by all sides; violence and escalatory responses must be avoided," it added. (AFP)
