Thousands of young people have surrounded the police headquarters in central Hong Kong to protest the suppression of rallies against an extradition bill.
The demonstrators shouted "no more police violence" and "stop the violence". They blocked part of a main road with barricades. They are also staging a protest outside the legislature. A nearby government building has been closed.
Friday's rally was called to protest the use of tear gas and rubber bullets to suppress the clashes with the police on June 12. Many people were injured. The protesters oppose a bill that would allow criminal suspects to be sent to mainland China for trial.
Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam apologized on Tuesday for inviting the turmoil and suggested that the bill would effectively be scrapped.
But protesters are calling for the clear withdrawal of the extradition bill.
