Hong Kong protesters use new flashmob strategy to avoid arrest

'Blossom everywhere' tactic is a reaction to politicisation of MTR subway system

Hong Kong protesters have deployed a new strategy of popping up in small groups in multiple locations across the city in an effort to avoid arrest, during their ongoing campaign against police and the local government.

Small flashmobs of protesters demonstrated across a dozen districts after a call for protesters to "blossom everywhere" on Sunday, with many staying closer to home where they could evade police on foot or by bus.
