Hundreds of protesters took to the streets in Hong Kong to oppose new security laws proposed by China last week. Of particular concern is a provision allowing Chinese security agents to operate in Hong Kong HKprotests

Riot police were deployed after earlier warnings from authorities against unauthorised assembly and the city's current coronavirus-linked law banning public gatherings of more than eight people.

Police had warned that they would"make arrests as appropriate", and at least one pro-democracy campaigner was detained by police on Sunday at the start of the rally, AFP reporters said. A top pro-Beijing official, however, said on Saturday that mainland law enforcement would not operate in Hong Kong without"approval" from local authorities.
