Protesters shouted anti-China slogans and called for their “five demands, not one less” of the government, including universal suffrage and the dropping of all charges against their arrested colleagues. The police also fired tear gas from the roof of the Legislative Council building, which activists trashed and daubed with graffiti weeks ago. Protesters, many of them wearing their trademark black with face masks, took cover from the tear gas behind umbrellas and held their ground on Sunday, some throwing tear gas canisters back at the police as a helicopter flew overhead. The police, who traditionally raise placards warning of retaliation before firing tear gas or water cannon, made several arrests, grappling people to the tarmac. About 200 China supporters dressed in red T-shirts gathered on top of Victoria Peak, overlooking the harbour, around midday.
