A top opposition lawmaker was trapped in Hong Kong's airport yesterday for nearly half an hour as his supporters and pro-Beijing protesters shouted at each other when he returned from a US trip during which he discussed the territory's fight for full democracy, police said.

Martin Lee Chu-ming (???) was met at the airport with shouts of "traitor" by pro-Beijing demonstrators, while others called him a "running dog" for foreign countries, footage from local television showed.

Lee's supporters greeted him with a banner that read "Patriotic hero for democracy," and began yelling back at his deriders.
