#LIVE: It is the first weekday protest since the #coronavirus outbreak in Hong Kong. As it is the controversial national anthem law 2nd reading today, people once again chant #antiELAB slogans en masse. But it is now unclear how the protest will flare out today. #HongKongProtests
“Hongkongers, build our new nation,” participants chant aloud. It is not a new slogan though. But it has apparently been more widely accepted by protesters, especially those who are not considered Hong Kong localists.
Dozens have been subdued and kettled outside a shopping centre in Causeway Bay. As the police have earlier declared such assembly was unauthorised, they might be arrested over taking part in an illegal assembly and violating the social distancing rules. #HongKongProtests
