In Hong Kong, police have violently tackled suspected protesters after thousands marched in the city in defiance of a ban.
Images show police hitting people with batons and using pepper spray on a train in Hong Kong’s underground metro.
Police said, they were called to the scene amid violence against citizens by “radical protesters”.
Thousands of people took to the streets yesterday to mark the fifth anniversary of China’s government banning full democratic elections in Hong Kong. Protesters lit fires, threw petrol bombs and attacked the parliament building.
Hong Kong has seen 13 successive weeks of protests. The movement grew out of rallies against a controversial extradition bill – now suspended. It has since become a broader pro-democracy movement.
