		</div><p>Hong Kong’s leader has said she is setting up a “communication platform” to resolve differences in the city after months of anti-government protests.</p>
<p>Chief executive Carrie Lam also said the city’s police watchdog will carry out a fact-finding study of the protests and related incidents as it looks into 174 complaints about police behaviour.</p>
<p>The movement held a massive but peaceful rally on Sunday after earlier protests had been marked by violence.</p>
<p>The government has conditioned dialogue on the leaderless protest movement remaining peaceful.</p>
<p>Ms Lam did not say that the communication platform will be used specifically to contact protesters.</p>
<p>It will be used for “open and direct” dialogue with people from all walks of life, she told reporters, while giving few specifics on how it would work.</p>
<p><em>“Our goal is to work hard to resolve differences and conflicts, to understand each other through communication and to walk out of this social deadlock together,”</em> she said.</p>
<p>Ms Lam’s comments fell short of the protesters’ five demands, which include her resignation and an independent inquiry into what they say was police brutality.</p>
<p>The protesters complain that police have contributed to the violence by responding to their aggressive tactics with tear gas and rubber bullets.</p>
<p>Ms Lam dismissed the protesters’ demand for an independent inquiry, saying the city’s police watchdog was capable of looking into police misconduct.</p>
<p>The watchdog has been criticised for having limited monitoring powers.</p>
