The Hong Kong protests, sparked by a proposed extradition bill from mainland China, have been going on for thirteen weeks.
As flashpoints erupt between protesters and police in Hong Kong, water cannons filled with blue dye are being turned on the protesters.
Hong Kong citizens were out en masse protesting for the thirteenth week in a row on Saturday, despite a police ban on rallying. The protests were sparked in June by a proposed extradition bill by mainland China. There were flashpoints between the police and protesters on Saturday, with the police deploying tear gas and water cannons, while protesters threw bricks and molotov cocktails, setting fire to barricades.Police put blue dye in the water cannons directed at protesters, coating the road in a blue wash. The dye is intended to stain protesters, marking them out for later arrest., although two were subsequently released on bail.
