Hong Kong police fire water cannons, tear gas and arrest those protesting new China security law

A Hong Kong policeman has allegedly been stabbed by a protester as sweeping and repressive new Chinese security laws come into place. Protesters have been out on the streets in defiance of China, which just passed a law banning protests and demonstrations in the semi-autonomous city. The police officer was pictured with a blood-soaked shirt after someone put an aproximately 1 inch gash in his left shoulder. HK Police posted pictures on Twitter of the officer being given stitches, saying he was stabbed by “rioters holding sharp objects.” The suspects fled, while bystanders offered no help, police said. In a tweet showing un-filtered pictures of the injuries Hong Kong Police Force wrote: "During a #HKProtest, an officer was stabbed in the arm by rioters holding sharp objects when he was taking arrest action. "While the by-standers offered no helping hand, suspects fled. #HKPolice express the strongest condemnation against such violent act." Hong Kong police fired water cannon and tear gas on Wednesday to break up the first protest since China introduced sweeping security legislation. Protesters, including League of Social Democrats lawmaker "Long Hair" Leung Kwok-hung and Avery Ng gathered outside the Family Planning Association in Wan Chai and demanded the end of the one party rule and abolishment of the national security law, which critics fear will crush wide-ranging freedoms promised to Hong Kong for 50 years when it returned to Beijing under a "one country, two systems" style of governance. "Probably in the future we may never see a million people on the street again, not because we are satisfied with the government but because we are now living in fear," said Ng. The contentious law will punish crimes of secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces with up to life in prison, heralding a more authoritarian era for China's freest city.
