More photographs of posters outside Embassy of People’s Republic of #China in New Delhi, India wishing #Taiwan a Happy National Day. This is a diplomatic area in Central Delhi. Indian social media has been flooded with good wishes for Taiwan and anger for Xi Jinping and China.
HK’s first mass march in months is starting to turn as police begin to lose restraint, firing pepper balls at the feet of journalists. The day has been largely incident-free so far, with a few dozen arrested. Vid: Telegram.

Police have raised the blue banner to warn against unlawful assembly
Another view of the same incident, in which undercover police disguised as protestors drag a demonstrator by the legs, as other officers pepper spray a crowd of journalists. Plainclothes HK police officers regularly arrest protestors but rarely with this brutality. Vid: Telegram.
A demonstrator who gave his name as V told HKFP that he prepared a placard reading "Stand with #HongKong & #Thailand and #Belarus" because he thought there were different forms of suppression in the different countries.

A young girl of school age was just cornered by riot police & proceeded to run away, before being viciously wrestled to the ground, kicked & pinned down by several police officers.

#HongKongers are incredible
Despite draconian National Security Law, they are marching on the day they should have been voting in the Legislative Council elections, in protest at the outrageous postponement of those elections for a year
#HongKong I ♥️you!
