Lawmaker says evidence points to attempt to 'trigger color revolution'

Lawmakers and anti-occupation groups are calling for a probe into alleged donations from external entities to foment and maintain the ongoing protests in Hong Kong.

Ip Kwok-him, a lawmaker of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, moved on Thursday to invoke the Legislative Council's special powers to probe the finances and support of the occupiers, whose street actions have gone on for more than a month.
