Hong Kong police arrest 289 at protests over election delay
Al Jazeera, 06 Sep 2020
About 290 people were arrested by Hong Kong police as riot officers swooped on pro-democracy protesters - opposed to the postponement of the local legislative election - with rounds of pepper balls.
Hundreds of protesters had taken to the streets on Sunday in the Asian financial hub to demonstrate against a new national security law imposed by China and the postponement of the legislative polls.
