One taken away as police disperse ban-defying crowdCrowds in black began gathering on the three-storey atrium of Cityplaza since 6pm, while one was taken away when police dispersed the crowd defying the gathering ban. At least one was taken away as police officers dispersed protesters trying to challenge the anti-gathering ban at a shopping mall in Taikoo, planning to sing protest songs at night. The man was taken away for lighting a torch at police officers. Crowds in black began gathering on the three-storey atrium of Cityplaza since 6pm, with some waving flags printed with the anti-fugitive slogan of “Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our time". District councillor for Taikoo Shing Andrew Chiu Ka-yin blamed the police commander Peter David Whitton for sending different orders to protesters as the frontline officers.
