Alain Robert strikes again 

In August, he h climbed a Hong Kong skyscraper and unfolded a "peace" banner as massive and sometimes violent pro-democracy protests rocked city. During climb, he attached a banner featuring Hong Kong and Chinese flags, as well as two hands shaking. Prior to ascent, Robert put out a statement saying mess of his climb was to make "an urgent appeal for peace and consultation between Hong Kong people and ir government".

"Perhaps what I do can lower temperature and maybe raise a smile. That’s my hope anyway," Robert said in his media statement.

But many were unimpressed. Last August a Hong Kong court h banned him from making any more climbs after he was charged over a 2011 illegal ascent of 27-floor Hang Seng Bank building. At time he h vowed to return to Hong Kong as soon as ban expired. In January he was arrested after climbing a 47-storey tower in Manila
