Hong Kong is marking the anniversary of its transfer to China with ceremonies and protests. But police used batons and pepper spray to disperse a crowd of pro-democracy demonstrators who had occupied a road near the city's government complex. The activists had squatted in the area because it was near the site of an official flag-raising ceremony. On this day 22 years ago, Britain handed the former colony over to mainland China, under a deal that would ensure democratic rights for the city's people. The activists now fear those rights are being rolled back with a proposed bill that would allow extradition to mainland China.
