Hong Kong protesters returned to the streets over postponed elections, drawing one of the biggest crowds since China imposed a national-security law. Police were ready with a large presence.

HONG KONG—Crowds of protesters massed in one of Hong Kong’s densest commercial districts, challenging the postponement of legislative elections as the city is brought more firmly under the control of mainland China.

The gathering Sunday was one of the biggest demonstrations of opposition to the government since China imposed aon June 30. Plans for the protest had circulated earlier in the week on social media, and police were ready with a large presence. Reflecting the risks, the protesters were somewhat camouflaged by dressing as ordinary shoppers, rather than in black, as they did last year. As police looked on, they would chant familiar slogans such as “Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times,” and some threw items such as water bottles and umbrellas at police as they made arrests or regrouped at an intersection.

But in the large crowd, and with everyone wearing masks because of the coronavirus, it was difficult to be sure who was chanting and who was shopping. Police in riot gear who had descended on the Mong Kok neighborhood charged into the crowd to grab suspected protesters, occasionally firing pepper balls or pepper spray to clear the way. For several hours Sunday afternoon, groups of very young Hong Kong residents stood detained on street corners.

shiroihamusan The day should be the Election Day and show the will of Hong Kong people is delayed by HKgov and CCP by using WuhanCoronavirus as an excuse, at the meanwhile use lots of polling places as WuhanVirus inspection station and steal HK people’s medical privacy like DNA.

HK protesters not asking for the sky and separatism. They only want back the rights and freedoms promised to them under the Basic Law including the freedom from fear, to speak freely and to be safe.

COVID19 was brought by China to HongKong trying to silence the HongKongProtests and to cancel our 2020Election!

Hong Kong police arrested over 300 people on that day including a 12 years old girl who came to buy paints. They literally pushed her down on the ground. How ridiculous can it be? StandWithHongKong HongKongPoliceTerrorists PoliceBrutality

President Trump should advise President Xi on ‘Law and Order’ and how to use force to squash protesters!

Hong Kong protestors putting their lives on the line fighting for freedom against communist China, while JoeBiden DNC and the Americans leftist are fight to promote socialism and Marxism! How ironically is this?

Try as CCP may, freedom loving HKers will never be silenced. Selective social distancing measures against election but exempting for collecting & building citizens DNA database, HKers are having none of it. YouCantStopUs.

We Hongkonger deserved our vote back, one the authoritarian stripped away. Int’l world must realised HK is longer a int’l built upon independent justice, respect humanrights, protect intellectual. It’s *JUST* no different to any cina city now.

Under the dictatorship of the CCP, HongKongers have lost freedom. HongKong is now just a PoliceState filled with corruption and HumanRightsViolations. China & hkpolice deserve sanctions for violating the Sino British Joint Decl. HKPoliceState Chinazi FreeHongKong

After intentionally attacked a pregnant woman on the street last Monday, within a week, the inhumane HongKongPoliceTerrorists again intentionally attacked an innocent little girl severely today! Who’s HongKongPoliceTerrorists next target? Attacking a new born baby girl? HKSOS

Large scale indiscriminate arbitrary stop & search, harassment, attack, arrest & suppression of peaceful protestors, bystanders & innocent civilians are taken place again, with severe violation of human rights, freedoms & inhumane violence committed by HKPoliceTerrorists! HKSOS

It is always peaceful unless those inhumane HKPoliceTerrorists actively create chaos everywhere & attack civilians indiscriminately, making things violent! It’s very clear who is really disturbing social orders & violating the law no matter how they defame peaceful protestors!

PoliceBrutality hkprotest hkers say no more postponing the election n the hk govt fires pepper bullet and randomly arrest to tell its ppl shut up. Only tyranny hear a no as a threat.

The protest in Hong Kong today is resisting the deprivation of voting right by HKGov, but as usual, HKGov is silencing the citizens with violence

HongKongPoliceTerrorists

We demand the election now!! That's our right to speak out through votes, Human rights!!

It is funny that a mass testing of COVID with thousands of people attending at centres daily is feasible but a LegCo voting has to be cancelled. Today should be the day of voting if it's not postponed. The postponement is purely a political decision.

The totalitarian CCPChina and their puppet HK Govt have been using WuhanVirus and the NationalSecurityLaw to suppress the most basic freedoms of HongKongers, and then lie to the outside world that there is fine in Hong Kong, and we HongKongers will never be silent!

shiroihamusan 12 years old girl 😷😷😷😷😷 PoliceBrutality

It is supposed the day of election. It will never end when this government not listen to the people but keep suppressing.

HKers are still resisting the escalating oppression from CCP

What the hell... PoliceState

Portland protest keeps going because of killing black people.

China is bad for the whole world! A pure dictatorship. These poor people.

Such brave ppl even under HKPoliceBrutality and the so-called national security law!

The police wasn't there to patrol. They were just there to terrify people. HongKongProtests

This can not solve the problem, this is suppression. Hong Kong gov hopes that the people will go back to the past and lead a carefree life. But the people know what this so called “carefree life” is fake.

The last option for the HongKongers to change Hong Kong, in a peaceful way, becomes impossible as the gov decided to delay the election. Alongside with massive DQ of pro-dem candidates, CCP leaves HKers no choice but to go to street & protest StandWithHongKong

We aren’t paying attention, or worse, don’t care

Hong Kong people have never given up. And the Hong Kong police have once again come and brutalized Hong Kongers. Nearly 300 got arrested and thousands of Hong Kongers got insulted violently.
