Hong Kong police deployed a water cannon and fired tear gas as violence returned to the city’s streets with hundreds of protesters marching against China’s plans to impose a sweeping national security law.
A heavy police presence prevented activists from proceeding with the unauthorized march from Causeway Bay to Wan Chai. Demonstrators scattered after the main group was broken up, burning barricades and blocking streets. More than 120 people were arrested, the police said in a post on their Facebook page.
