Тайный совет Тонга (большинство из членов которого назначаются королём) отложил на год рассмотрение вопроса о возвращении с каникул парламента страны, и, несмотря на обещания, практически ничего не сделал для продвижения демократии в правительстве. Сторонники демократии вышли на улицы в знак протеста. Некоторые участники протестов начали опрокидывать машины, а затем перешли к грабежам и поджогам зданий. (ru) |
