At a symbolic monument to Hong Kong rejoining China, protesters called for greater democracy.
China is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the handover of Hong Kong from the British.
But, a day ahead of a visit from President Xi Jinping, pro-democracy activists occupied the golden “forever blooming golden bauhinia” – a symbol of Hong Kong and a monument to the reunification.
Several well-known democracy activists were arrested, including student leader Joshua Wong.
