Hong Kong: Police and Protesters Clash on Handover Anniversary

Police have clashed with protesters in Hong Kong on the 22nd anniversary of its shift from British to Chinese rule.

City chief Carrie Lam attended the annual flag-raising ceremony on Monday morning, while police used pepper spray and batons to contain demonstrators.

Millions have protested in recent weeks over a controversial extradition bill, which would allow people to be sent to mainland China for trial.

The government has agreed to suspend it indefinitely, but the rallies continue.

Ms Lam is facing ongoing calls for her resignation, and large crowds are expected to attend an annual pro-democracy demonstration later.

Their demands include a complete withdrawal of the extradition bill, revoking the term "riot" to describe protests on 12 June, releasing all detained activists, and investigations into police violence.
