Some netizens today (11th) launched the "Lennon Day of the City" and posted political slogans and cultural propaganda on the "Lennon Wall" in 18 districts of Hong Kong. At about 5 pm, about 20 people posted anti-revision legislation outside the British Consulate General in Admiralty. A group of riot police arrived and intercepted the belongings and ID cards of the group. Arrested by spraying paint.
Some members of the British Conservative Party questioned the location of the arrest, which urged the British Consulate General in Hong Kong to clarify the incident.
Police said in the evening that at 4 pm today, a report was received from the consulate, saying that someone was spraying paint on the exit, so they sent police officers to investigate. A 15-year-old girl was exposed with a spray paint, and the police arrested her for criminal damage, while she kept in touch with the consulate. The British Consulate General in Hong Kong has not responded to queries.

British Commissioner: The position of the gray brick is within the scope of the consulate
Some netizens initiated the announcement at 2 pm in the Admiralty Lennon Wall and wrote post-it notes to express their feelings. About 30 people responded, but they didn't post it. The others left in two separate groups. Several went to the Percival Street Flyover in Causeway Bay and posted a message. Another group of about 20 people were transferred to the British Consulate General in Admiralty, Hong Kong. According to the online video, during the posting outside the consulate, an assault vehicle arrived, and riot police officers searched the scene and checked their belongings, and registered their ID cards. A woman was subsequently arrested. It was reported that spray glue was found on the woman and the others were released.
Luke de Pulford, a member of the Conservative Human Rights Commission of the United Kingdom, said on Twitter that riot police officers were arrested today in a gray brick location outside the consulate, which has always been considered as a consulate. He questioned if the consulate invited the police to drive away peaceful protesters as an "intolerable scandal" and urged the consulate to clarify the incident.

Worrying reports that a PEACEFUL young female demonstrator has been arrested outside @UKinHongKong for sticking up posters.
It seems as if arrest happened on the “grey bricks” normally considered Consulate territory.
