HONG KONG: Protests sprang up across Hong Kong on Sunday (May 10) as dozens gathered in shopping centres to voice their anger with the government and police, who protesters say are abusing social distancing laws to restrict civil liberties.
A heavy police presence thwarted a Hong Kong Independence march called for by the online protest community. However, dozens of people wearing masks attended protests in shopping centres in at least six districts.
In the upscale Tsim Sha Tsui district, near the starting point of the proposed march, at least two protesters were arrested. One middle-aged man held a sign shaming the police for an incident last week in which two officers were found to have stolen 25 kilograms of illegal drugs from a recent bust.
