Police fired rounds of tear gas, used a water cannon to disperse protesters and arrested more than 100 people opposed to Beijing’s plan to impose a sweeping national security law in a return to the demonstrations that defined this city last year.
Despite social distancing measures that prohibit gatherings of more than eight and laws on illegal assembly, tens of thousands of people thronged through Hong Kong’s Causeway Bay shopping district on Sunday afternoon. Calls to assemble were made online without a formal organizer or permit.
