After a few months of calm caused by the coronavirus epidemic, the pro-democratic Hong Kong movement once again took over the streets of the semi-autonomous region on Sunday.
The tabling of a Chinese bill to ban "treason, secession, sedition and subversion" in Hong Kong led to renewed tensions on Friday. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Sunday increased the anger of the pro-democracy movement by calling for "immediate" application of the law.
Thousands of demonstrators gathered despite a ban on demonstrations related to the coronavirus epidemic, to denounce this passage in force from China. Present in large numbers, the police used tear gas, pepper spray and water cannons to disperse the crowd. Police announced the arrest of 120 people.
