The day's pro-democracy protests were largely peaceful, with thousands of protesters marching from Kwai Chung to Tseun Wan district, in the city's New Territories. They showed up despite an ongoing thunderstorm, dressed in plastic ponchos and rain coats, huddled under a sea of umbrellas. According to organizers on the messaging platform Telegram, the march was intended to reiterate protesters' core demands, as well as express opposition to alleged police brutality.
It was the first time water cannons had been used in a protest in the past three months, although protesters themselves were not targeted, a Hong Kong police spokesperson tells CNN., after thousands in the city's east Kwun Tong district marched for the movement's five demands, and against the government's installation of"smart" environmental monitoring lampposts, which have sparked privacy concerns.
They called the doxxing tactic"a kind of psychological war," and said they had arrested 16 people on suspicion of disclosing personal data without consent and causing harm, and unauthorized access to a computer.
