Shatin July 14
“The protest was located in the suburban Shatin area of the city—the second to take place in the New Territories region of Hong Kong, far from the financial and shopping hubs that hosted earlier marches.
The demonstration began peacefully, with people marching for a few hours shouting slogans and weaving through heavily residential
neighborhoods alongside a river.”

“By 10 p.m., as the police tried to clear the streets in the mostly residential neighborhood, the demonstrators had scattered and many ended up regrouping in a shopping mall.
The police moved into the mall and were met with protesters who had filled the floors overlooking the atrium and were throwing bottles and umbrellas at the officers on the ground floor. The police struck at the protesters with batons and pushed them with shields, and officers were seen dragging several of them away.”
