The acrid but familiar smell of tear gas wafted across parts of Hong Kong yet again as protests held in multiple districts yesterday stretched into the night.
Mr Roy Chan, one of the Tai Po march organisers, told the Hong Kong Free Press that the police ban meant"our freedom to protest and demonstrate has been completely destroyed".Shops along Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui shuttered earlier than usual at around 8pm, after protesters amassed to block traffic and attempted to surround the nearby Yau Tsim District police station.
Protesters called repeatedly on the police to release the teenage girl, and said that officers had used excessive force in the arrest. Police upheld the ban for two marches planned for today in Sham Shui Po and North Point, citing public safety concerns as calls spread online for people to bring protective gear and target police stations.
But footage from broadcaster TVB also showed supporters of the police - mostly dressed in light blue - delivering fruit baskets and cards to officers, as groups posed for pictures with officers while holding mini Chinese flags.
