Hong Kong police detain around 400 people and fire teargas at protestors during a massive pro-Beijing rally on New Years Day
"It is sad that our demands from 2019 need to be carried forward to 2020," the CHRF's Jimmy Sham said at the start of the rally.
China has also alleged that the unrest has been fanned by foreign powers, and has bristled at criticism from rights groups and governments of the way the protests have been handled so far.Hong Kong saw in the new year with an evening of peaceful protests that descended into tear gas-choked clashes between hardcore demonstrators and the police overnight.
The unrest that began in June last year is the biggest crisis the former British colony has faced since its return to Chinese rule in 1997.
