#LIVE: The #antiELAB protest suddenly revives despite #COVID2019 fear, as dozens of anti-govt protesters assemble outside the Prince Edward MTR station to mark the half-year anniversary of a bloody clash which broke out on the platform on August 31 last year. #HongKongProtests

#LIVE: Firebombs and umbrellas that have disappeared in the past few months have once again come back to the scene.

#LIVE: And this police officer is apparently playing with his pepper spray canister as if it was a toy. #antiLEAB #HongKongProtests

#LIVE: One of the entrances of the nearby Mong Kok metro station has also been lit on fire. The entrance has been begrimed by the flame. Such a scene has not been seen for months as the #COVID2019 outbreak has dampened people’s eagerness to go on protests.

Nathan Road has once again been set ablaze after months of downtime as protesters light up cardboards and styrofoam containers.

It is a scene showing that riot police are targeting journalists’ cameras when they are pepper-spraying. They will shout at the reporter and tell them to stop filming at the same time.
