Police blast mosque with water cannon as hundreds of thousands protest in Hong Kong – The Washington Post

Sunday’s protest, initially planned to show opposition to a recently enacted law 
banning the use of face masks at public gatherings, continued for hours from a starting point in the Tsim Sha Tsui neighborhood. April, 27, and her boyfriend, William, 29, stood near a park where protesters first gathered. The two said they had held off getting married or having kids out of concern over the direction of Hong Kong and the possibility of raising children in a city where Beijing’s grip is tightening.
