Pro-democracy lawmaker Wu Chi-wai from Democratic Party is grabbed by security guards as he protests against Li Fei, deputy general secretary of the National People's Congress standing committee, speaking at a briefing session in Hong Kong

By Clare Jim HONG KONG (Reuters) – Hong Kong pro-democracy activists heckled a senior Chinese official on Monday, shouting slogans and forcing him to temporarily abandon a speech explaining Beijing’s decision to rule out a fully democratic election in 2017. Li Fei, deputy secretary general of China’s National People’s Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, was speaking a day after Beijing rejected demands by pro-democracy activists for the right to freely choose the city’s next leader in 2017. Dressed in black and wearing yellow ribbons, members of Hong Kong’s democratic camp were escorted out of the auditorium after they shouted and held up signs reading “shameful” and saying Beijing had lost credibility.
