Protests erupted in Hong Kong on Sunday as tens of thousands of people spoke out against legislation that would allow the territory’s citizens to be extradited to mainland China.
The protests have led to some of the worst violence Hong Kong has seen in decades.
Demonstrators have tried to storm government buildings and police have responded with tear gas and rubber bullets.
