A Hong Kong administration spokesperson condemned violence to demand an independent Hong Kong and other violent activities by black-clad protesters, and pointed out the urgency of issuing a new national security law.

Hong Kong’s Department of Health said 6 people were taken to a hospital and one person is in critical condition following the most recent protest. Hong Kong police have arrested at least 180 people for participating in an illegal gathering and carrying out violent activities.
