Anti-government protest in Hong Kong, China by Aidan Marzo / SOPA Images
Thousands of protesters marched through the streets on the 15th continuous week of unrest. While the demonstration began peacefully, protesters later faced off against police in front of government offices. Protesters threw bricks and petrol bombs while police attempted to keep the demonstrators at bay by firing dozens of tear gas rounds and blunt projectiles. Riot police eventually deployed vehicles equipped with water cannons and conducted a full dispersal operation. Protesters continue to fight for the remaining four demands after the extradition bill was formally withdrawn the previous week.
