Hong Kong police fired pepper pellets during clashes with protesters on May 27, and made more than 200 arrests, local reports said.

The protests have been sparked by a national security law proposed by China, which many feel threatens democratic freedoms enjoyed by Hong Kongers.

Legislation that would make criticism of the national anthem a criminal offence, currently before the Hong Kong legislature, has added to anti-Beijing sentiment.
