Hong Kong police arrested at least three protesters at a demonstration on Sunday (March 1), in the latest sign of tensions caused by China’s influence in the city.
Protestors in Hongkong
Protesters chanted to “cancel the multiple-entry permit” and “topple the Chinese Communist Party” as they complained about parallel traders, who buy goods in Hong Kong to sell at a profit across the border.
Demonstrators blocked the area’s main street with garbage bins, halting traffic.
Police used pepper spray and restrained some people.
A female protester was seen bleeding from the nose as police dragged her away.
The demonstration, which drew over 300 people, comes nearly three months after police cleared away the last pro-democracy street protests in the city.
