Some thirty citizens were surrounded by #riot#police outside Apple Store, #CausewayBay. #HKPF also fired pepper guns and tear gas in #Central.

At least 50 people are being held by police outside Hysan Place in Causeway Bay, after crowds marched in the street, chanting slogans in protest of the national anthem bill and national security law. It is unclear if they are under arrest.
Without warning, #HongKong police fire pepper spray projectiles to the civilians all the sudden at D'Aguilar Street, #Central. Panic crowds run for their lives, it’s a total cop-made chaos.

1432: this particular officer arrogantly announced,” originally , if you didn’t come out, nothing would happen. Stop shouting slogans, you know there is no use. I urge you to leave before you are arrested and taken to court. Go back to your office. Go back to your normal life.”
Firing pepper balls into a cowering group of kids with nothing but umbrellas.
I challenge any police officer to justify the necessity of these tactics.
The unpopular #nationalsecuritylaw is imposed by #Beijing without #HK legislative scrutiny and public consultation. But even in the face of public criticism, #hkpolice fiercely dispersed public criticism with teargas. A reporter fainted from the gas. #NationalSecurityLegislation.
After a long day of tear gas and mass arrest by the #HKPF, protestors return to Harbour City with chants and slogans. Riot police are dispersing citizens inside the mall.
You can't stop us. The world has to see that us HK citizens are #not deterred by your national security law.
We must stand up and fight back. More than thousands of HKers take back to the street again, including @SunnyCheungky, #JannelleLeung, #TiffanyYuen and I. Time is running out in Hong Kong. We need to try our best to oppose the evil national security law.
The return of tear gas in Hong Kong on a day of protest agst the proposed new national security law imposed by Beijing. Almost a deja-vu of 2019 anti-extradition bill protests, except that this time HK is facing the giant directly #HongKongProtests via @StandNewsHK
